A major barrier to increasing the adoption of electric trucks in mining is a lack of interoperability between charging technologies, infrastructure and vehicle types. In this issue, we look at how charging is developing in mining, reviewing the industry drive for standardisation.
We also explore a myriad of techniques that can help improve screening, sizing and sorting to maximise mineral recovery from ore. While real-time data can help increase safety and productivity, more still needs to be done to encourage miners to embrace new technologies.
In an interview for our series on inspiring women in mining, we speak to Comfort Asokoro-Ogaji, founder of Women in Mining – Africa, about her mission for inclusion, justice and opportunity across the continent.
In commodities, we examine China’s grip on the graphite market and look at how the supply landscape will evolve to 2030.
Plus, we assess how risks — from geopolitical tensions to extreme weather — are driving change in mining insurance offerings.
