EDITOR ’ S COMMENT

WELCOME TO THE Welcome to the June issue of Mining Global !

Our cover star is PT Merdeka Group , which through the financially and environmentally sound Tujuh Bukit Project , places Indonesian mining on the world stage .

Also in this month ’ s issue , we asked the big questions facing the mining industry in 2017 to Deloitte Global , who dutifully answered in the form of Mining industry leader Phil Hopwood to look at the mining industry of today , and the one of tomorrow .

The industry by its very nature digs to unearth solutions to the world , but in some cases , it can unearth problems , challenges that will require the special skills of technology entrepreneurs of the world to answer . This is where Unearthed Solutions comes in . Through unique hackathons , Unearthed Solutions connects entrepreneurs to major mining moguls , in a bid of solving the industry ’ s problems .

Forbes unleashed its 100 largest public companies recently , so Mining Global picked out 10 of the largest mining companies to feature on that list .
