The June issue of MINE magazine is out now, with articles focusing on deep-sea mining, critical minerals development, crushing and grinding, and more.
A month after US President Donald Trump issued an executive order that aims to drive seabed mineral development, the debate about deep-sea mining rages on.
We dive into recent developments, with input from both environmental organizations and the mining sector on recent scientific research, and look at moves to achieve international regulation of deep-sea mining.
In critical minerals, we look how the Caremag project in south-west France is aiming to put Europe back on the map by meeting up to 15% of global heavy rare earth oxide demand by 2026.
Plus, we explore Africa’s role in critical raw materials supply, asking whether a proposal to establish a non-circulating currency underpinned by critical minerals could help consolidate mining across the continent.
Elsewhere, GlobalData shares insights into the US electric vehicle market amid trade and policy uncertainty.

We speak to Ilya Epikhin of Arthur D. Little about how drought, demand and desalination are transforming water use in Chile – one of the world’s most arid mining regions.
Finally, we speak to Bjorn Dierx, director HPGR and process engineering at Weir, about efforts to improve the efficiency of comminution.
