Introduction The extractive industry is under constant pressure to increase productivity while reducing costs. Optimisation can be challenging, especially when dealing with complex pit-to-port operations with varying degrees of digitisation throughout. This case study explores how a large surface quarry in the UAE, at the early stages of its digital transformation journey, successfully implemented a […]

The rapid growth of infrastructure, mining, and urban development across Latin America continues to drive strong demand for high-quality aggregates. As contractors, quarry owners, and mining operators expand their capacity, the question becomes increasingly clear: what is the most cost-effective investment model for a modern crushing plant? In regions like Peru, Colombia, Chile, and Mexico, […]

Navachab Gold Mine, a low-grade gold ore operation, upgrades its very low-grade ore resources using STEINERT’s suite of innovative dry sorting processes. At Navachab it has been possible to double the gold grade. As the STEINERT machines require a minimum of water the technology is very environmentally friendly. The very low operating costs (a quarter […]

The rapid expansion of mining and aggregate production across Latin America has led to a significant shift in how companies manage equipment investment, labor, and operational risk. As flexible employment models grow in popularity—especially among mid-sized mining operators and contractors—leasing aggregate plants has become an attractive strategy to reduce capital pressure and increase adaptability. This […]

Quartz is one of the most widely used minerals in industries such as glass manufacturing, electronics, construction, and chemical production. Mining quartz efficiently requires advanced processing systems capable of handling large volumes while maintaining consistent product quality. A quartz crushing plant is central to this process, and integrating predictive maintenance and automation has become a […]

Large-scale mining projects depend on highly durable, precisely engineered concrete structures—from crushing stations and conveyor foundations to haul road paving, workshops, tunnels, and processing facilities. As mining operations expand across remote regions, the need for consistent, high-quality concrete becomes even more critical. This is why integrating ready mixed concrete plants directly into or near mining […]

The global mining sector, long characterized by heavy machinery and remote sites, is undergoing a profound digital overhaul. At the forefront of this transformation are specialized web development companies, acting not merely as software vendors but as strategic partners building the digital infrastructure required for modern, efficient, and safe mining operations. These firms are moving […]

SALT LAKE CITY – Rio Tinto’s Kennecott operation has progressed its decarbonisation objectives by signing a 15-year virtual power purchase agreement (VPPA) with TerraGen for renewable energy from a newly completed wind farm in Texas. Under the agreement, Rio Tinto will purchase 78.5 megawatts (MW) of renewable energy generated by TerraGen’s 238.5 MW Monte Cristo […]
