A New Venture...

It is my pleasure to introduce the inaugural issue of Mining Outlook – a new multi-channel brand brought to you by Outlook Publishing, dedicated to foregrounding the global mining sector. As mining organisations worldwide confront unprecedented change, embracing technological innovations and incorporating critical environmental sustainability agendas, we decided that now more than ever is the time to showcase the strides being taken in this dynamic industry.

The first of our quarterly magazines does exactly that, as we take a deep dive into some major titans of industry from across the international resources sector. In South Africa, HCI Coal talks us through operations at the Palesa mine as the responsible mining company pursues growth and diversification beyond coal to remain relevant in a changing resource market.

“We need to be cognisant of the fact that coal will not be the commodity of choice in the long-term due to the environmental impacts,” shares co-CEO Pieter Terblanche.

Meanwhile, in the resource-rich territory of Brazil, we speak with the industry association driving a nation-wide responsible mining agenda in conversation with the Instituto Brasileiro de Mineração (IBRAM).

In other exclusive corporates stories, we have had the pleasure of collaborating with iconic names such as De Beers Group, Hitachi Construction Machinery Australia, Batchfire Resources and Stornoway Diamonds Canada.

Finally, be sure to check out our Industry Insights, where we highlight some of the newest developments and most exciting innovations redefining mining today.

We hope that you will join us in this exciting new venture, and enjoy your read.
