The development face is one of the most significant hazard areas of an underground mine, particularly in seismically active ground with geotechnical hazards such as ground fails, stress induced failure and rock bursting. Industry members have long identified the need to minimize exposure, particularly for charge-up crews who are most at risk due to the …

Mining companies across the globe have committed to meeting a goal of net zero by 2050 or sooner. This goal encompasses both scope one emissions (emanating from sources owned by an organization, such as furnaces, boilers, vehicles, etc.) and scope two emissions (produced in the production of electricity purchased by an organization). This goal of …
Achieving Net Zero in Mining – How CMIC Is Providing the Roadmap Read More »
In part one of our Circularity series, we looked at the barriers facing the mining industry in achieving circularity in their business. In this second part, we will explore our progress, and how true circularity can be achieved. The mining industry is well positioned to adapt to a circular model in what is mined, and …
CMIC in collaboration with Sandvik and its members launched a project that enables the opportunity for collective learning about mechanical rock excavation (MRE) technology. Through this consortium, participants will gain extensive knowledge in the technology that will enable them to accelerate deployment of mechanical cutting at their operations. Mechanical cutting has been identified as a …
CMIC members have identified sensor-based ore sorting as a technology that could disrupt the mining industry given its potential to reduce energy consumption and water use, increase metal recoveries and lower tailings footprint. As technologies advance, sensor-based ore sorting has been deployed with increased success over the past few years. Still, there are many examples …
Our industry is evolving. Senior leaders from across the mining sector are committed to developing the innovations and best practices required to build a more sustainable, profitable industry. But what about the next generation of leaders? In this blog post we’ll discuss the importance of education and training in equipping tomorrow’s leaders for the future …
2020 was unlike anything many of us have experienced, presenting many challenges to businesses and individuals globally. In spite of these challenges, CMIC continued to recruit new members, progress existing consortia projects, design new projects and develop new international alliances. “CMIC has had an indelible impact on the mining industry and has built that trust …

A circular economy (CE) is any economic system where waste is eliminated, and resources are continually used and reused. CMIC’s goal to transform mining to a zero-waste industry epitomizes the circular economy. This week we are exploring the opportunities and progress we see in creating a mining industry that reflects the circular economy. But first, …
