mining technology adoption
When Katrina Garven, Principal Database Consultant at Alias Database Services, reflects on how mining and exploration companies use geological data, she sees an industry undergoing a quiet revolution.
Global tariffs, record gold highs, and shifting battery metal fortunes are reshaping mining in 2025, with big implications for projects and suppliers.
A high-precision GPS system that draws an invisible line between safe ground and disaster is helping one of Indonesia’s largest mining contractors keep trucks – and their operators – out of harm’s way in high-risk dumping zones.
If your underground mine is relying on 50 metres of non-line-of-sight vehicle detection, you may already be running outside your critical safety controls.
A cloud-hosted machine learning model, linked securely to a plant control system, has helped eliminate costly surging in dense medium cyclones - and in one case, safeguarded millions in weekly coal revenue.
In an industry where safety is non-negotiable and downtime is costly, one Western Australian firm is taking a precision approach to mine maintenance.
In an era where emerging technologies promise to transform mining operations, from AI-driven optimisation to fully automated systems, the real challenge is not finding the next breakthrough.
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.
For decades, mine planning has leaned heavily on deterministic models - tools that simplify the earth into a single version of the truth.
In the high-stakes world of minerals processing, separating fine wine from snake oil isn’t just a metaphor — it’s a business imperative.
