Already many mining companies are well on their way to adopting the voluntary GISTM and its 15 principles. In the March issue of MINE we speak to industry players to find out what GISTM has already achieved, and the efforts that are still needed to address the changing environment.
Additionally, we look at how AI is supporting tailings monitoring and management, including by potentially reducing mining waste streams.
We also explore the scope for using AI robots to build a workforce and what development could mean for the mining sector.
In commodities, we examine the global outlook for cobalt mining, as well as projections for the lithium market to 2030. Also, following record coal production and demand in 2024, we look at the future of coal in key regions such as China and the US, where demand did not fall as sharply as expected.
