Mining is mission-critical for the global economy and success in 2026 means disciplined growth, innovation, and a renewed focus on people. Dr Janina Elliott at Seequent writes in the week’s Blog how the mining sector’s future will hinge on how it responds to challenge – with agility, innovation, and a renewed sense of purpose.

Dust and carryback from belt conveyor discharge points are an ongoing problem for bulk handling operations. This week’s Blog from Martin Engineering shows how taking a holistic approach with several components working in tandem helps extend equipment life, improve safety, and address the root causes of inefficiency and downtime that reduce production and raise the cost of operation.

Canada’s mineral wealth is well established, but the country’s most significant opportunity lies in strengthening the midstream of the critical minerals value chain: processing, separation, and refining. This week’s Blog from Haver & Boecker Niagara shows us how, while policies, investment tools, and strategic frameworks set the stage, the results that matter are achieved in the rigorous, day-to-day work happening inside Canada’s plants.

Moisture content is one of the most influential variables in the mineral production process. In many cases, it drives efficiency, product integrity, throughput, and energy consumption. This week’s Blog from the experts at MoistTech Corp. innovative moisture sensors provide continuous, reliable readings with zero maintenance, one-time calibration, and a non-drift optical design.

The successful remediation of legacy mine sites hinges on one core challenge: water. The long-term liability associated with contaminated water can threaten ecosystems and downstream communities for decades, an issue that is compounded in Canada’s north. This week’s Blog provides a case study in perpetual water management at Yukon’s Wolverine Mine.

With Budget 2025’s emphasis on critical minerals, infrastructure, Indigenous participation, and domestic capacity, it appears as though mining remains central to Canada’s growth and global relevance. This week’s Blog from BFL CANADA shows what the budget signals for the future of Canada’s mining sector.

Canadian mining is becoming more complex as operations move deeper underground, embrace automation and depend on global supply chains. But this also introduces new risks to mining operations. This week’s Blog from NFP, an Aon company, discusses how a proper risk management plan can build resilience and minimize downtime in an environment where every hour counts.

The global demand for potash is expected to grow in the coming years, driven by global population growth, agricultural intensification and the need to improve crop yields. This week’s Blog looks at how Sarens will contribute to this sustained growth of the sector through significant projects, such as the lifting operation for the installation of a 500,000-pound walking portal, intended for potash recovery in a new storage shed.

A positive turn marked the progress of Northisle Copper and Gold Inc. on Vancouver Island after a drill hole that was close to being considered completed ended up delivering one of the strongest intersections of the 2025 program. This week’s Blog shows how instantaneous geochemical data delivered by Veracio has helped detect a high-grade interval and expand the projection of the West Goodspeed target.

Amid growing global demand for critical metals that underpin the energy transition, Canadian company, Foran Mining, has adopted advanced technological tools to enhance the efficiency of its exploration program at its McIlvenna Bay project. This week’s Blog shows how this technology is shortening key timelines in remote drilling campaigns.
