The September edition of our digital magazine is out now – you can read it online for free or sign up to have each issue delivered to your inbox.

In this issue of MINE Australia we turn our attention to South Australia, an area of largely untapped resources, to explore the outlook for copper mining in the region.

We also look at efforts to address sexual harassment in the Australian mining industry, two years on from a landmark inquiry into harassment of female fly in, fly out mine workers. What has changed?

Next, we evaluate the supply chain risk profiles for key energy transition minerals, including lithium and silicon, looking at the action Australia is taking to shore up its supply chains.

We also review innovations in the surface equipment mining fleet in Australia, including the drive towards greater automation and electrification of vehicles.

In tech, GlobalData drills into the potential impact of robotics on mining. Plus, we look at how the convergence of IT and OT is increasing the cyber risk in the mining industry, and the measures that can be taken to mitigate this. 

We also preview two key events: IMARC 2024 and the WA Mining Conference & Exhibition 2024, which takes place in Perth this October.
