In this issue of Mining Global, the driving force behind BHP’s push towards automation. We had the pleasure of sitting down with president of coal, Dean Dalla Valle to discuss how the mining giant is employing new tech to increase mining productivity while simultaneously reducing costs.
The merger was expected to be the biggest deal in history of the mining industry. We expose why the deal between Barrick Gold and Newmont Mining ended and what pitfalls companies can avoid to ensure it never happens to them.
We spotlight the impact renewable energy is having on Australia’s coal industry and what companies can do to combat these growing changes.
Finally, we highlight the top 10 coal mines around the world as well as the top driverless trucks influencing the mining industry. Find out which mines produce the most coal and how unmanned vehicles are setting the stage for the future of mining.
Enjoy the issue!
