Over the past few years there has been a concerted industry effort to drive the responsible management of mine tailings.
In January, the independent Global Tailings Management Institute was launched with a mission to promote the adoption and implementation of the Global Industry Standard on Tailings Management (GISTM), launched five years ago.

Already many mining companies are well on their way to adopting the voluntary GISTM and its 15 principles. In the March issue of MINE we speak to industry players to find out what GISTM has already achieved, and the efforts that are still needed to address the changing environment.
Additionally, we look at how AI is supporting tailings monitoring and management, including by potentially reducing mining waste streams.
We also explore the scope for using AI robots to build a workforce and what development could mean for the mining sector.
In commodities, we examine the global outlook for cobalt mining, as well as projections for the lithium market to 2030. Also, following record coal production and demand in 2024, we look at the future of coal in key regions such as China and the US, where demand did not fall as sharply as expected.

Looking ahead to PDAC 2025
March will also see the Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada (PDAC) welcome more than 1,100 exhibitors, hundreds of expert presenters and panelists, and thousands of industry representatives to Toronto for its 93rd annual convention: PDAC 2025.
You can check out what to expect at PDAC 2025 in our event preview.
Mining Technology is in attendance at PDAC 2025, with our editor, Caroline Peachey, on the the ground. Contact us (energyeditorial@globaldata.com) to arrange a meeting or an interview. We hope to see you there!
