Entering the age of automation: new issue of MINE Australia out now!
Australia is a leader in mining automation, with half of the country's mines expected to be fully automated by the end of this decade, according to projections from Australia's national science agency, CSIRO. In this issue, we look at use cases for drones, robots and autonomous vehicles in the mining industry, as well as the barriers that still need to be overcome to achieve widespread adoption. We also explore the potential benefits of cloud-based fleet management systems and how the mining sector can address the two key implementation challenges: connectivity and integration. GlobalData also offers insight into the rise of robotic dogs to support emergency response, including in the mining sector. In commodities, we delve into the regulatory environment for uranium mining in Australia, where a myriad of state-level bans and restrictions make for an uncertain future. Lastly, we examine the nation's efforts to bolster green aluminium production amid calls for more supportive government policies and financial incentives.

Golden opportunity: read the new issue of MINE Australia!
In the April 2025 issue of MINE Australia, we look at industry progress on decarbonisation through both renewables implementation and electrification initiatives. The mining sector's transition to renewable energy faces several structural and operational hurdles. Yet with its abundance of sun and wind resources, Australia is well positioned to lead the way. At the St Ives mine in Western Australia (WA), Gold Fields is implementing its largest renewables project to date, aiming to generate 73% of the mine's electricity from a combination of wind and solar energy by 2026. We ask whether this project could be a blueprint for future decarbonisation efforts and what more could be done to support such initiatives in Australia. We also delve deeper into Australia's progress with mine site electrification and explore the country's ambition to bolster its green metals industry. Plus, we look at the energy-intensive comminution process and how AI is supporting more sustainable crushing and grinding operations. Elsewhere, we examine how WA is looking to enhance its capabilities in automation and robotics with a new government-funded test facility. We also speak to Geoscience Australia about a project to map the nation's critical mineral resources and report from the PDAC 2025 convention on the use of new technologies in minerals exploration.

In the May issue of MINE Australia, we look at the uranium mining outlook in the country. With uranium subject to a myriad of state-based policy and legislation, we ask whether bans in certain regions could be overturned amid growing demand pressure. We also explore efforts to decarbonise Australia's aluminium sector, examine the growing role of autonomous technologies in mining, and delve into the latest enhancements in fleet management technology.

Indonesian nickel: new issue of MINE live now!
In the April 2025 issue of MINE magazine, we look at Indonesia's nickel mining landscape, explore how critical minerals supply chains are impacting the defence sector and examine some of the tech trends shaping exploration drilling. Indonesia's nickel industry has seen 'dramatic growth' over recent years, with its global share of mined nickel production rising from 16% in 2017 to around 50% in 2023 – but this growth did not come without challenges. We look at what is next for the nation, from decreasing quotas to raising royalties. Elsewhere in commodities, we examine the minerals requirements for defence applications and delve into the US' actions to shore up its domestic reserves. GlobalData also provides insight into the US-Ukraine critical minerals deal. Turning to technology, we review some of the challenges miners face in powering operations in extreme climates, sharing some practical tips and actions to address and adapt to complications. We also explore whether autonomous drilling technology – already established in production – is shaping minerals exploration. Plus, we look ahead to bauma 2025 and the equipment innovations that will be on display in Germany from 7–13 April. This year's event has a specific focus on exploring the challenges facing the global mining industry and will showcase some of the 'innovative solutions [that] will be used to make mining even more efficient, safe and sustainable in the future'. Overall, bauma 2025 is expected to welcome some 3,500 exhibitors from 57 countries, with the mining exhibition featuring more than 200 companies that offer machinery or solutions for minerals extraction and processing, and raw materials handling. Head over to MINE to read all this and more. You can also sign up to receive the April issue of MINE Australia, which will feature articles on electrification, renewable power for mines, an interview with Australia's critical minerals association, and much more.
