Interesting day! I had the honor of meeting with the Deputy Minister of Industry and Mineral Resources for Mining Affairs H.E. Khalid Almudaifer last Thursday. During the discussion #FutureMineralsForum he stressed that the International Mining Conference focuses very closely on the greatest challenge facing the world now, which is the shift in its needs for future minerals. He also added that the demand for metals is increasing due to renewable energy and the automobile industry, and that the zero-sum option requires a greater metal density than the use of regular energy, which generates a large demand in the world estimated at four times what it was. Pointing out that achieving this requires multiple and long stages of exploration, manufacturing, mining, and then reaching manufacturing industries, and this requires large investments estimated at more than three billion dollars in the world to provide this development. #FutureMineralsForum #energytranaition #climatechange #miningpolicy #decarbonisation

Twin Metals' mineral deposit contains enough nickel to produce 87 million electric vehicles. It's imperative that projects like ours move forward to support the energy sector's increasing demand for #minerals.

How do we get to the decarbonised mine? - available here, issue 54 of Energy and Mines Magazine The latest Energy and Mines Magazine issue is available to read and download now. We asked our speakers for the upcoming Perth event to tell us about their particular focus when it comes to decarbonising mining, the challenges they see at this stage of the transition, and what’s needed to enable mine decarbonisation. Their responses demonstrate the full range of disciplines and expertise involved in this complex transition and provide insight into the barriers and the necessary changes that will allow mining to reach this ultimate goal. 

"From very early on, our strategy is to target carbon neutral production. This endeavor is possible since 2/3 of mining emissions are from power generation, and at McIlvenna Bay we can use hydroelectric power." Dan Myerson, Executive Chairman & CEO at Foran Mining.

The migration to a new mining cadastre system is expected to be completed by June 2025, according to Department of Mineral Resources and Energy Minister Gwede Mantashe, whose recent budget vote also revealed the drafting a report on the 'State of Mining' in South Africa. This report would consider several factors such as the contribution of mining to GDP; the performance of the mining sector in terms of production, exploration, exports, sales and prices, as well as trends in these areas; and the challenges facing the industry and the interventions needed to resolve those challenges. #MiningSouthAfrica #MiningAfrica #GwedeMantashe Read the full story:

Our final year project involves conducting a comprehensive energy analysis for mining trucks, and we discovered the power of openLCA in streamlining our research. Our aim was to analyse the existing diesel mining trucks at Sindh Engro Coal Mining Company (SECMC) and also a future proposed electrical truck alternative. We selected the life cycle assessment (LCA) method for our study and using the tool of openLCA, we were able to model and assess the carbon footprint of the trucks. #openLCA #SECMC #sustainability #lifecycleassessment #energyefficiency #SDGs #fyp
