The mining industry relies heavily on durable infrastructure, including roads, processing facilities, and structural foundations, to ensure safe, efficient, and continuous operations. High-quality concrete is critical for these projects, but producing it on-site presents unique challenges due to the remote and often harsh conditions typical of mining environments. Mobile concrete batching plants have emerged as […]

The mining industry is undergoing rapid technological advancement, driven by the need for higher efficiency, consistent product quality, and reduced operational costs. Among the critical machinery in modern mining operations, sand making machines play a vital role. These machines are designed to produce high-quality sand and fine aggregates from hard rock, stones, and ores, which […]

Resolute Mining has initiated an aggressive expansion strategy for 2026, earmarking up to $190 million to accelerate the development of the Doropo Gold Project in Côte d’Ivoire. This investment marks a transformative phase for the Australian-listed miner, signaling a transition from a dual-asset operator to a diversified, mid-tier producer with an annual output target exceeding […]

In a landmark moment for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s mining sector, the Saudi Arabian Mining Company (Ma’aden) recently announced a massive resource addition of 7.8 million ounces of gold. This discovery, centered around the flagship Mansourah Massarah mine and several other strategic sites, marks a significant milestone in the Kingdom’s journey to establish mining […]

BHP Group has shipped iron ore cargoes barred from sale in China to Malaysia and Vietnam, seeking alternative buyers as its stocks of Jimblebar pile up at Chinese ports amid a protracted contract dispute with Beijing. China Mineral Resources Group (CMRG), set up in 2022 to centralise iron ore purchasing and win better terms from miners, barred […]

AME’s annual Roundup conference remains the premier opportunity for the mineral exploration and development industry to connect, exchange knowledge, and inspire the growth of viable projects. These projects are the bedrock of a strong economic recovery, supplying the critical materials required for a climate-smart future while sustaining vibrant regional communities for generations to come(About AME […]

Building on its role as a global thought leader, PDAC 2026 is not only about showcasing innovation, it is about translating vision into concrete action across the mining value chain. As the industry faces unprecedented pressure to secure mineral supply for the energy transition, the convention will increasingly focus on implementation: how ideas, technologies, and […]

Mining operations depend heavily on accurate site inspections, terrain assessment, and ongoing maintenance. Traditional inspection methods often require manual surveys, heavy equipment access, and extended downtime. In recent years, drone-based aerial mapping has emerged as a practical solution that enhances safety, efficiency, and decision-making across mining sites. Understanding Aerial Mapping in Mining Aerial mapping uses […]

Introduction Hydraulic fracturing (HF) has become an important tool in deep underground mining, particularly in hard-rock metal mines where high in situ stresses, brittle rock masses, and large excavations create significant geotechnical risks such as rock bursts, violent spalling, and unstable caving. Building on early concepts of fluid-driven fracture propagation (Hubbert & Willis, 1957), modern […]
