“ Victory at all costs , victory in spite of all terror , victory however long and hard the road may be ; for without victory , there is no survival ”

– Winston Churchill

IN THE MAY EDITION of Mining Global , we spoke with Anglo American ’ s group head of technology development , Donovan Waller , to discuss the company ’ s FutureSmart™ initiative and how the innovative program will lead the mining company to digging smarter , not harder .

Also this month , we examine Ontario ’ s fall from grace and speak with Minister Michael Gravelle from the Ontario Ministry of Northern Development and Mines to discuss how the province is reestablishing itself as the powerhouse mining jurisdiction of past .

Lastly , we divulge into iron ore and highlight the top producers in the world based on 2015 guidance . The iron ore road may be rocky and hellish but these companies are expected to come out on top
