Mining & Resources

The mining and resources sector is under unprecedented pressure from financiers, regulators, consumers and even potential employees. To meet regulatory requirements and maintain a social licence to operate, organizations must now demonstrate a rigorous commitment to sustainability and innovation.

Staying efficient and competitive means embracing powerful digital solutions which can unlock insight and efficiency. And to address a looming skills shortage, organizations must find ways to attract young, technically-skilled employees. This requires expert guidance,and putting the right technology in place at every step.

  • Decarbonisation

    As the world strives to achieve net zero emissions by 2050, mining organizations need to reduce emissions and reduce reliance on coal-generated power. This calls for sophisticated digital tools to capture and measure emissions across the supply chain – from initial extraction, through to processing, transport and delivery. It also means having the ability to accurately measure and demonstrate improvements over time.

  • Productivity and cost optimisation

    While the mining sector is enjoying sustained growth, the reality remains that its source materials are in finite supply. To optimize a mine’s lifecycle, organizations must find ways to extract and process raw materials as efficiently and profitably as possible. Even the smallest improvements in extraction, processing and transportation can translate to millions of dollars of revenue. Conversely, without the right insights at hand, it’s very easy for waste to occur – or an opportunity for improvement to be missed.

  • Diversification

    As the world’s appetite for renewable technologies like electric vehicle batteries increases, so too is our need for the rare earth metals and minerals upon which they depend - like lithium, nickel, cobalt, manganese, and graphite. Many mining organizations are therefore looking to diversify their offering to include the cost-effective and sustainable extraction and processing of these materials.

  • Social license to operate

    As well the need to meet regulatory requirements, mining organizations must also maintain a social license to operate. This means demonstrating measurable improvements in sustainability, maintaining ethical practices, attracting diverse workforces, and showing care for the local communities and environments in which they operate.
