With all eyes focused on the US ahead of the 5 November presidential election, the latest issue of MINE magazine explores how the result could impact the mining industry.

Amid concerns about US dependence on “adversarial nations” for critical minerals, many are pushing for the return of more centralised governance to coordinate policy and boost the country’s competitiveness. We ask: how likely is it we will see a revival of the US Bureau of Mines?

We also examine the outlook for US coal following Biden’s decision to end federal coal leasing in the Powder River Basin, the largest coal-producing region in the country.

GlobalData also assesses how the US territory expansion could benefit deep-sea mining and shorten trade routes.  

Plus, we look at how stronger regulation on bribery, human rights and traceability can support more responsible mining.

We also investigate the rise of sustainable explosives in mining, including those made from green ammonia and nitrite-free alternatives.

Finally, we report on the record-breaking deals, equipment and themes that emerged from MINExpo 2024, which took place in Las Vegas last month.

What to expect in the next issue of MINE magazine

With COP29 scheduled for November, we look at what the global climate summit means for the mining industry. We also explore how industry is embracing the latest tech to improve fatigue management at mine sites. 

In commodities, we focus on iron ore, looking at the latest supply and demand projections to 2030. Plus, we report on the rise of gold mining in West Africa, including how the region is working to support artisanal and small-scale miners.
