Technology plays a key role in the industry’s efforts to improve mine safety and rescue. We ask what recent accidents tell us about unmet technology needs and which tools are being developed to address them. We also look at the latest forecasts for critical minerals and how the mining industry can adjust production to fluctuations in demand. Plus, we explore how automation is driving innovation in drilling and blasting equipment, rank the world’s top 10 nickel producing countries, and look at efforts by the US and other countries to reduce their dependence on Russian supplies.
