Australian miners were among the early adopters of automated mining equipment and many state governments have taken a proactive approach to safety regulation. We look at the state of autonomous mining in the country and what is next in the automation journey.

Miners in New South Wales are expanding existing coal projects, while in Queensland several large greenfield developments are in the pipeline – but all face challenges around funding and environmental regulation. We look at the prospects for coal expansion in an era of uncertainty. 

Meanwhile, the future of mining is rapidly evolving with new resource potential opening up on the ocean floor and in space. We check in on the prospects for deep-sea and extraterrestrial exploration. 

In technology, we speak to Green Gravity about its work converting disused mines into clean energy storage using digital twins, and look at the different types of robots used in mining and their benefits for operators.
