GMG is holding an in-person workshop in Sudbury, ON, Canada on June 16 to have critical discussions on the key priorities for advancing underground mining and define a strategy to drive collaboration to address these priorities.

In recent discussions with more than 35 mining companies, some priority areas identified included enabling innovation and technology advancement; data integration and management; people, culture and skills; decarbonisation, energy and GHG reduction; common language and processes; and good operational practices.

Additional underground mining priorities identified include autonomous mining; communications technologies; electrification (including battery safety, charging, long-term planning, overall energy management and regulations); data and connectivity; and workforce and training.

This workshop will be an opportunity to sit with peers and get the priorities you’re tackling on the table to determine the common challenges to address together. Outcomes from the workshop will be guidance to the GMG Underground Mining Working Group steering committee to develop their work plans and projects.
