Safety and efficiency are often the key drivers for adopting autonomous underground mining equipment, but it can also play a key role in improving the sustainability of mines, beyond just electrification. We look at examples of this and emerging applications. We also speak to Rockburst about its innovative ore processing technology, which has gained interest from copper producers and a space mining programme in Australia. Plus, we check out a new robot that promises a less destructive approach to seabed mining, get an outlook for the global bauxite market, and catch up with a research project to advance satellite-based mapping of mineral deposits.
