Why data quality is the real AI challenge in the mining industry
Insights
-
Artificial intelligence (AI) is playing an increasingly important role in the mining industry. Predictive maintenance for critical equipment, energy optimization, improved metallurgical recovery, asset monitoring and process anomaly detection are just a few of the many applications with significant potential benefits.However, when an AI project fails to deliver the expected results, the problem rarely lies with the algorithms themselves.In our experience, the main obstacles are usually related to data quality, availability and structure. Even the most sophisticated models cannot produce reliable recommendations if the data they rely on is incomplete, inconsistent or difficult to use.Before we talk about artificial intelligence, we first need to talk about data.

01 Oct 2026Power and RenewablesAccess to energy is no longer just an infrastructure question. Across Canada and the United States, growing electricity demand, grid capacity constraints and longer interconnection timelines are changing how industrial and mining projects are planned and developed.In this discussion, Alireza Khosroshahi, P.Eng., Senior Engineer, Transmission Planning, and Jérémie Côté, P.Eng., Director, Thermal Power Generation, discuss how organizations can navigate interconnection challenges, align project schedules with energy realities and build more resilient energy strategies.Reliable power starts with the right grid interconnection strategy

27 Jul 2026Mining and MetalsTailings management is often viewed as a downstream requirement of mining operations. In practice, decisions about tailings influence project design, water management, long-term liability and operational flexibility long before production begins.For decades, the priority was simple: ensure there was somewhere to store material leaving the plant. Today, that mindset is changing. Tailings are increasingly recognized as one of the most significant long-term risks on a mining site. Their impact extends far beyond operations, influencing future closure obligations, water stewardship, future land use and relationships with surrounding communities. Early decisions can shape those outcomes for decades.Below, Geraldine Cosset, P.Eng., Department Manager, Tailings and Geotechnical, and Jared Purdy, P.Eng., Principal Engineer, Civil and Geotechnical, discuss three questions that are reshaping how mining companies think about tailings management.Early tailings decisions shape long-term mine performance
