The key to responsible and successful mining projects

Mining companies generally have three targets: Develop a viable project, secure environmental approvals quickly and earn lasting support from local communities. But, in today’s world, with regulations that vary by jurisdiction, rapidly shifting social expectations and stricter environmental requirements, advancing a mining project becomes far more complex than engineering alone. So, what’s the way forward? Start early with a holistic approach that combines technical expertise, environmental rigour and genuine collaboration with stakeholders, including negotiating impact and benefit agreements with affected communities.

How to improve paste backfill plant performance: five applicable fixes

Paste backfill plays a critical role in today’s sustainable mining practices. It offers enhanced ground stability, reduces the need for tailings storage and can lead to better environmental outcomes. But even the best-laid plans can go awry. If your paste backfill systems are causing delays, cost overruns or inconsistent quality, it's time to take a closer look.

Asset Performance Optimization in Mining: Key Challenges and Strategic Priorities (Part 1)

Measuring and optimizing asset performance are a must in the mining and metals industry. Faced with the pressure to extend equipment lifespan, improve overall performance and the need to remain competitive, companies must revisit and adapt their strategies to align their operations with best practices. This series of three publications will present three strategic elements to optimize asset performance and improve operational efficiency: 1. Data governance for performance indicators (KPIs) 2. Equipment downtime management 3. Adoption of new technologies We’ll also explore the key steps required for success and highlight the risks of inaction. In this one, we'll focus on the first point.

How can energy efficiency support decarbonization efforts?

Companies in the industrial sector have long sought to optimize their operating costs and facilities. These issues become especially critical when facilities are in remote areas, and even more so in northern territories where operating costs are very high. To meet environmental objectives set by various levels of government and combat global warming, the focus is now on lowering greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Industrial companies are also seeking to stand out from the crowd by offering value-added, eco-mindful production methods, thereby minimizing their environmental impact and reducing their carbon footprint to enhance their image. In this context, energy efficiency is a pivotal lever for creating low-carbon systems.
