Servicing the sustainability shift Export-oriented Aussie companies are set to play a major role in the sustainable mine of the future, Daniel Gleeson writes in IM October 2024's Australian METS feature. Ahead of International Mining and Resources Conference (IMARC) later this month, IM casts its net over the mining equipment technology and services space in Australia using a recent report from Austmine and Australian Trade and Investment Commission (Austrade), 'Accelerating Sustainable Mining,' to examine the companies helping create: “The Smart Water Mine”, “The Community Mine”, “The Zero Carbon Mine”, “The Small Footprint Mine” and “The Waste Free Mine”. The companies we included within this were: Evocra, Envirosuite, K2fly, 3ME Technology, BluVein, Universal Field Robots (just acquired by Sandvik), Gekko Systems, Glencore Technology, Thiess Rehabilitation, Scantech International Pty Ltd. and Clean TeQ Water. We also give a shout out to Bradken and its latest overseas expansion. Read the full piece below for more... #METS #miningequipment #miningtechnology #miningservices #IMARC
