📢 It’s time to address the ‘known unknowns’ of the mining sector. The transition to clean energy and digitalization increased demand for lithium and cobalt, yet we know surprisingly little about mining and how mining impacts the environment and our communities ❗ 👉 In a recent Comment, the researchers spotlighted many weaknesses in mining data and localized impact research that cannot guide regional or global policy decisions. Research investments are needed to support global data collection, methodological innovation, and analysis. There is no time to waste. 🔗 Dive deep into details here: https://lnkd.in/e6A7WrhG #mining #cleanenergytransition #environmentalimpact #miningindustry

Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) has published an implementation guide for GRI 14: Mining Sector 2024 providing guidance on determining material topics, deciding on appropriate disclosures and on mine-site level reporting.

Critical mining is seeing unprecedented growth because of the surge in clean energy demand! It would be interesting to see how government, investors, and corporates come together to fulfill the objective. #miningdigitization #digitaltransformation #ltimindtree

The S&P Capital IQ Pro database, which is the basis of most mining assessments apparently only accounts for a minority of mines. They figure about 44% of mines are in the S&P database. #mining #miningnews #intelligence #science #Nature

The positive #energy at this year’s Investing in African Mining Indaba is an encouraging sign that stakeholders in #mining are embracing the many #challenges that the industry faces. “The complexity of mining has been rising, driven by a range of factors from geopolitical tension and fast-changing #BatteryTechnology to #ClimateChange and skills shortages,” states Ralf Hennecke, MD of BME, a Member of the Omnia Group. “Topics discussed at this year’s Indaba, however, indicate that positive disruption is underway to build a path forward.” #Issue204 https://lnkd.in/dj3xiKba

“Technology is a key driver of competitive advantage as the #digital and physical realms are merging. The mining industry cannot afford to ignore this #trend because mining digitisation connects key #assets in and across the mine and across the mining value chain, including people, technology, and processes. This results in improved operational performance by enhancing visibility across the mining value chain and enabling real-time decisions based on current information. Mines can respond to changes in production, supply and customer conditions with greater speed and agility,” Alana de Wet (A), iOCO’s Industry Lead for Mining, Energy and Industrials, tells WhyAfrica. iOCO  Leon Louw #whyafrica #technology #digitalisation #AI #machinelearning #africa #mining #exploration #naturalresources    https://lnkd.in/dM2WXHn5
