MINE digital magazine: Issue 14

Mexico ranks fifth globally in terms of mining investment, but much-anticipated energy reform 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 a report charting the economic impact of gold.
