We also ask Major Drilling about specialist drilling in uncompromising environments, and how the need to find commodities is taking the industry into ever more remote locations. Moreover, as production at South Africa’s mines has suffered setbacks, including strikes and a decline in the operating environment, we assess the risks faced by producers operating in the region.
We speak to Sabine Anderson, who set up her own mining company and is on the board of Women in Mining, about gender equality in the mining industry. We also take a look at operations at the Marikana platinum mine in South Africa and the Renard Diamond project in Canada.
