2020 VISION
2020 VISION
The big goal for Inmarsat this year will be setting the direction for its tailings dam work with the agreement of a framework from the UNEP , ICMM and PRI for an international tailings standard . “ We ’ ve been communicating with the various stakeholders and believe the outcome of that standard will be extremely positive ,” says Carr .
“ Much of the industry is holding fire as to what they want to do . There ’ s likely to be a big acceleration of work when it is published .” ( Publication was due in Q2 2020 but has been delayed due to the impact of COVID19 ).
“ The next big challenge is to really help the mining industry understand satellite , the way it does LTE ,” says Carr . “ We want to bring it more into the mainstream and bust some of those myths around what ‘ satellite ’ is . We want to ensure we can do things like automation projects and drive industry uptake and capability . It ’ s our big mission throughout 2020 and beyond to expand the industry ’ s skill set and scope providing capabilities to the regions and companies that need to level up to make mining ready to resource the future .”
