Mostafa Benzaazoua, Full Professor and Director of the Geology and Sustainable Mining Institute at University Mohammed VI Polytechnic (UM6P – Benguerir), explores how innovative technologies are reshaping the mining industry by enhancing efficiency and safety, whilst also promoting sustainable practices. The mining sector is undergoing a seismic shift. The industry is facing growing pressure from stakeholders to not only meet the increasing demand for critical materials, but to do so in a responsible, ethical, and sustainable way. At the same time, mining companies are navigating an increasingly complex geopolitical landscape. Meeting these demands and overcoming these challenges requires a new way of operating. At the heart of this evolution, inevitably, lies technology. From the initial steps of ore exploration to extraction and processing, emerging technologies are disrupting the entire mining ecosystem. RFID cap lamps arise at the historic moment. This technological shift will define the future of the sector, and those organisations that successfully innovate will enhance their net present values and better balance competing demands. Leading the way in this transformation is artificial intelligence (AI). From the first step of exploration and prospecting, AI can offer support. As AI devices can quickly process big data, the tools can identify possible mining sites with higher mineral potential more effectively than human surveyors alone. In fact, companies using AI in exploration have reported a 20-30% reduction in time and costs involved with mineral discovery. Once the operation has launched, AI can deliver improved operational efficiency and safety. For example, AI-powered autonomous vehicles, which can also offer the advantage of being powered by green energy, are often used in hazardous areas to protect workers. This was successfully demonstrated by BHP’s Spence mine, which was BHP’s first fully autonomous site. The results speak for themselves: the Spence mine had zero incidents, and the autonomous operations reduced exposure to safety risks by 90% . Later in the mining process, AI can support with more accurate ore sorting, speeding up operations, maximising ore beneficiation, and reducing waste. The use of digital twins and Internet of Things (IoT) sensors can add another layer of efficiency. By developing models of mine sites that use real-time geological data, engineers can simulate different mining strategies for optimal efficiency, sustainability, and safety. Digital twins can also be used to detect minor problems and prevent major problems, allowing for proactive maintenance measures to take place and reducing unexpected downtime. Workers can use wearable IoT sensors to monitor their health and detect exposure to dangerous gases or hazardous substances, which can alert them to any potential dangers. IoT devices can also be used to monitor environmental data, such as air and water quality, to ensure compliance with regulations. Additionally, biotechnology is introducing a new dimension to mining innovations through the use of biomining, a process where microorganisms are used to extract metals from ore or waste materials. Biomining not only provides improved access to metals, but it can also be used to clean up contaminated mining sites, offering a more sustainable approach. By utilising these innovations, not just on their own merit, but in combinations that unlock exponential additional value, the mining industry can achieve a new level of operational efficiency, safety, and sustainability. This marks the beginning of a new age of mining, one focused on smarter, more responsible practices.

United States Antimony Corp. (NYSE-A: UAMY) says it has begun exploration and bulk sampling operations on the former Stibnite Hill mine in Montana, having secured the necessary permits from the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ). The Stibnite Hill mine is situated next to USAC’s Thompson Falls smelter, which it uses to process third-party ore into various forms of antimony products as well as precious metals. According to the company, this facility is one of two smelters in North America — both owned by USAC — with a long-standing capacity to process the metal. On its website, it noted that the Thompson Falls smelter can produce approximately 15 million lb. of antimony oxide or 5 million lb. of antimony metal per year. An expansion is currently underway to boost that production capacity. With DEQ approvals in hand for the Stibnite Hill project, the facility could now process the company’s own mined material and miner lamps equipment. Antimony ore has now been trucked in a number of loads off the mountain to a flotation mill in Montana for crushing and sampling prior to further review by a metallurgical chemist, USAC said, adding that management is “encouraged” by the high quality of this material. Shares of USAC, however, fell over 10% amid a broader market selloff, taking its stock price down to $10.95 a share and its market capitalization to $1.52 billion.

Mining companies today face a rapidly changing landscape of regulatory requirements, stakeholder expectations, and internal pressures to enhance operational performance. As technology reshapes the mining sector, the imperative to adopt advanced Integrated Environmental, Health, and Safety (EHS) and Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) platforms has never been greater. These digital solutions are transforming how mines collect, analyze, and report sustainability data—helping not just to comply, but to lead, innovate, and deliver long-term value. Advanced Integrated software platforms like IsoMetrix are designed specifically to address these pain points. By providing a single, integrated environment for data capture, analysis, and reporting, these solutions unlock new efficiencies for mining organizations: · Streamlined Data Collection: Mines can digitally capture data directly from field operations ,  RFID miners headlamp , sensors, and other integrated systems. This reduces errors from manual data entry, ensures data consistency, and allows for near real-time visibility. · Automated Workflows: Advanced platforms automate tasks such as notifications, approvals, corrective action tracking, and escalation—a crucial advantage when dealing with multiple sites and regulatory environments. · Centralized Reporting: Data is consolidated from across the business into dashboards and reports that align with GRI, SASB, TCFD, and local governance frameworks, giving management a comprehensive, auditable view. · Risk and Opportunity Analysis: Beyond compliance, these tools empower mining leaders to identify environmental risks, uncover operational inefficiencies, and act on emerging opportunities more swiftly. By transforming how sustainability data is captured, managed, and reported, digital platforms unlock new opportunities for mining executives to meet obligations, manage risk, earn trust, and build lasting success in the modern mining world.

Three workers with miner headlamps  who were trapped at Newmont’s (NYSE, ASX: NEM)(TSX: NGT) Red Chris mine in northwest British Columbia, Canada, have been safely rescued  after more than 60 hours underground. Newmont said that Kevin Coumbs, Darien Maduke and Jesse Chubaty — contractors for B.C.-based Hy-Tech Drilling — were in “good health and spirits” after being brought to the surface late Thursday night. The rescue followed two significant rockfalls that occurred early Tuesday morning, blocking their exit and later cutting off communication. “This was a carefully planned and meticulously executed rescue plan,” the company said in a statement. Newmont said that, before losing contact on Wednesday, the men had confirmed they were in one of the mine’s refuge chambers with steady access to food, water, and air. They were rescued at approximately 10:40 PM local time Thursday (1:40 AM ET Friday), following the complex operation. Newmont halted all operations at Red Chris during the rescue efforts. The team used drones and a remote-controlled scoop, brought from the company’s Brucejack mine, also in B.C., to clear the massive debris—estimated at 20 to 30 metres long and up to eight metres high. Newmont credited the successful outcome to “tireless collaboration, technical expertise, and above all, safety and care.” B.C.’s Mining and Critical Minerals Minister Jagrup Brar said in a post on X  he could not describe “the relief we all feel knowing that these three workers are going to be able to go home to their families.” Red Chris, located about 80 km south of Dease Lake and 1,050 kilometres (652 miles) north of Vancouver, is a joint venture operated by Newmont (70%) and Imperial Metals (30%). The gold-copper mine has been in production since 2015. A full investigation into the incident is underway.
