WELCOME
Welcome to the February issue of Mining Global magazine !
In our first issue of 2019 we profile Banro Corporation and its efforts to rehabilitate its fortunes by redefining operations on a quest to once more take its place among Africa ’ s premier gold mining companies .
We also hear from Infinity Lithium and learn how the Australian junior is poised to ride the wave of ‘ white gold ’. As the EV revolution takes hold
it aims to contribute towards the battery metals supply chain in Europe with its Spain-based San Jose Project .
With the mining sector gearing up to
meet the challenge of Industry 4.0 we spoke with H Robotics Founder Dr Pippa Malmgren . Her mantra ? ‘ Tools not toys ’. We learn how HiSight - a ‘ modular , robotic meta-platform in the sky ’ - is more than just a drone and can empower the mining industry in its push for digital transformation .
Allied to this theme , we hear from mine planning and optimisation expert Dr Kash Sirinanda . He argues that for mining to successfully evolve over the next decade it will involve transforming the industry into a network of best-inclass , sustainable , advanced digital competency companies .
With the sector navigating this evolution , and the challenges of an upswing , Mining Global analyses the annual EY report highlighting the 10 biggest risks to the mining and metals industry for 2019 .
Enjoy the issue !
