These are challenging times for the mining industry. While many companies have fantastic, well-researched initiatives, the reality is that without the necessary finances, these ideas may remain just that - ideas. As the industry grapples with numerous cost increases and the need for serious ESG upgrades, the focus is understandably on survival. It's a reminder that sometimes, the most pressing issues are those that require immediate attention. The technology initiatives are critical to driving these costs down, but the chicken and the egg situation of funding these brilliant innovations is the challenge. It's being left to private companies to build, own, and operate their advances. Hopefully, there will be some bankers at your presentations. So while we continue to explore innovative solutions for the future, let's not forget the importance of addressing the challenges facing us today. By prioritizing the issues that matter most right now, we can lay the foundation for a stronger, more sustainable industry in the years to come.
