China’s dominance of critical minerals continues to grow, with implications for global manufacturing, cross-border investment and geopolitics. In this issue of MINE magazine, free to read online, we look at what’s motivating this investment and the impact on the mining industry.  

We also dig into some of the action miners, manufacturers and supply chain are taking to improve the sustainability of mining tyres. 

In tech, we explore the promise of pulsed power technology, which is aiming to reduce the energy used to grind rock by up to 80%.   

In commodities we investigate US Government efforts to bolster non-Chinese graphite supply, investigate the impact of Chinese restrictions on the US antimony market, and evaluate the reasons behind the record gold prices.

Supplement: AI in mining

In this issue, we also have a full supplement dedicated to artificial intelligence. We evaluate how AI is transforming the mining industry, looking at the latest technology and its application in areas from exploration to skills development.

You can read the supplement in our latest issue. For more information about sponsorship opportunities and our Thematic Take supplements, please click here.

Ahead of the US election, we ask whether a Republican or Democrat win is most likely to lead to the revival of the Bureau of Mines.  

And as calls grow for Western governments and investors to take action to ensure responsible mining, we look at ongoing efforts and what more could be done.

Plus, we report on sustainable explosives and summarise key developments from MINExpo in Las Vegas.
