In the first issue we get up close and personal with the biggest and best machinery that the mining industry has to offer. With global demand for minerals on the rise we also delve into the world of autonomous systems to see how far we are from seeing the first completely autonomous mine.
The emerging BRICS nations are home to vast natural resources and rapidly growing industry; we find out how huge investment and innovative projects could affect the mining world. We also look at the challenges of mining the Mongolian desert, ask US policy makers how the government is supporting the industry’s efforts to improve health and safety in mines, and find out how a shortage of skilled workers is affecting production capacity Down Under.

Next issue preview
Mines are filled with danger, but a new generation of safety technology is helping protect the lives of workers. In the next issue we don our hard hats to check out some of the best safety measures the industry has to offer. We also explore the technology behind mobile gas labs and find out how reducing time taken to analyse and test dangerous gas could play a major role in rescue efforts after a disaster.
Moreover, we talk to the developers of the first regulatory-approved post-accident wireless communication system, and find out how AngloGold Ashanti used 3D modelling software in the restoration of the Savuka mine. We also ask experts on both sides of the Atlantic about the minerals that could be mined in the distant and not-so-distant future, and take a look at post-mining soil restoration, in particular a project being conducted with biopolymers in Alaska which aims to breathe new life into barren land.
