Global tariffs, record gold highs, and shifting battery metal fortunes are reshaping mining in 2025, with big implications for projects and suppliers.
For an industry under mounting scrutiny and regulatory oversight, there is perhaps no role more critical - or misunderstood - than that of the Engineer of Record (EoR).
From the outside, the conversation around digital mining often gets framed in broad terms - automation, Information of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI) but for those working underground or in control rooms, the real question is more practical: how do these tools actually solve the daily challenges?
For Stewart Johnston, Account Manager - Mine Electrification and Automation at ABB Australia, the key lies in making information usable, timely, and connected across the mining value chain.
When it comes to identifying rocks in mineral exploration and mining projects, the human eye remains the industry’s most widely used tool, despite its limitations, but for Dr Michelle Tappert, co-founder of Hyperspectral Intelligence Inc.
In a world-first approach that sounds more like science fiction than geoscience, Ideon Technologies is leading a charge to reduce geological guesswork in mineral exploration using cosmic rays generated by exploding stars.
Pepe Moreno, principal consultant and director of Tailex, isn’t one to blindly follow the crowd.

In the mining world, where uptime is profit and safety is paramount, innovations that reduce risk while boosting operational efficiency are prized.
Gem Midgley, principal consultant at Mira Geoscience, knows a thing or two about the practicalities of integrating complex geoscientific data.
For decades, mine planning has leaned heavily on deterministic models - tools that simplify the earth into a single version of the truth.
