During the June 16, 2022 GMG Underground Mining: Tackling Challenges to Achieve Company Goals workshop held in Sudbury, participants collaborated to discuss topics pertaining to underground mining to help identify key needs, challenges, and next steps.

Four key priorities identified were autonomous mining, continuous mining for hard rock, battery swapping versus opportunity charging, and interoperability and telemetry.

GMG is in the process of defining proposed projects in these areas, and industry input is essential for narrowing down the scope and objectives to help making sure that the outcome of the projects will be valuable to the mining industry.

These outcomes will be considered by the Working Group as an input to their future work.
