Achieving maximum efficiency is the new Holy Grail in mining. We find out how the industry, which has not traditionally been considered very energy conscious, is working to become more energy efficient and how new developments in underground mining technology will help.

We also speak to the authors of a new study, which has identified how the spatial relationship between geological features can be used to predict mineralization and lead to a whole new era of predictive mineral maps. We take a look at new, ‘smart’ technologies that are helping operators improve predictive maintenance procedures for critical equipment.
Moreover, we investigate how water-intensive processes in mining are affecting the environment and the efforts being made to improve water efficiency, look at the key factors in restoring a mine site after use, ask whether current initiatives are doing enough to protect the mental health of miners and profile Sabodala large-scale gold mine in Senegal.

Mexico ranks fifth globally in terms of mining investment, but a much-anticipated energy reform proposed in August could change its path. We find out what lies ahead for Mexico’s industry and whether a record amount of suspended mining projects this year could spell trouble for what was once South America’s fastest rising star.
We also investigate a new report suggesting that improvements are needed in underground safety technology and take a look at Caterpillar‘s fatigue monitoring system which could help reduce the number of accidents involving distracted drivers.
Moreover, we explore a technology which is claimed to revolutionise the way sought-after metals are produced, investigate the fallout from the breakup of the world’s biggest Potash mining cartel back in July, and take a look at the controversy surrounding a proposed ironsand mining project off South Taranaki in New Zealand.
