Most mining applications require electrical connections that can handle frequent connection/disconnection with reliable conducting power and proper safety ratings. This week’s Blog from the experts at MELTRIC looks at their switch-rated devices that use solid silver-nickel material as the contact surface, producing for superior conductivity with spring-loaded butt contacts for thousands of consistent and reliable connections, all while prioritizing operator safety.

OEMs like Caterpillar have announced partnerships across the globe to develop large battery-powered mining trucks that facilitate the trajectory of low-emissions mining and help companies reach their aspirational net-zero goals. But since future state equipment is not yet available, how can companies make changes today? This week’s Blog looks at a recent partnership between Finning and Artemis Gold Inc. that could be the blueprint for that to happen.

While many warnings are well heeded, others are treated as guidelines that can be challenged, especially when there’s an opportunity to increase production and profits. This week’s Blog from Philippi-Hagenbuch, Inc. looks at ways rear eject bodies can help maximize production without the need for risky techniques or endangering workers.

Mergers and Acquisitions are expected to increase in the mining sector over the coming years, creating a paradigm shift within the industry. This week’s Blog from junior mining company, Element79, examines how a changing landscape and lessons learned can help gold and other resource mining companies capitalize on the impending boom.

An ongoing transition to green energy is anticipated to significantly increase the demand for copper because of its many uses in expanding electricity networks and cleaner technologies, such as electric vehicles. This week’s Blog takes a closer look at approaches to ore sorting, a pre-concentration process that has long-term potential for efficiently processing lower grade copper ore bodies, and how it helps the mining industry to keep pace with the shift towards more eco-friendly transportation and energy sources.

NSS Canada has partnered with the local educational institution Collège Boréal Co-operative Education & Work-Integrated Learning Canada (Cewil), and Dynamic Earth to launch “Projet MOSS”- The Miner Operated Survey System (MOSS) is an underground surveying software that supports a wide range of Leica robotic total stations. This week’s Blog from NSS Canada examines Projet MOSS, and how it will benefit the future of the mining industry.

The mining industry is, objectively, in the midst of a historic boom and commodity prices are surging, particularly minerals needed to produce batteries and components for electric vehicles. But is there a labour workforce there to meet the demand? This week’s Blog from the experts at Odgers Berndtson Canada discusses how a leadership reboot be the key to addressing the talent crunch.

Two things are a certainty of any job; equipment fails over time and breakdowns are inevitable. This week’s Blog from the experts at Haver & Boecker Niagara provides four steps you can take to help minimize your downtime and promote a smoother operation overall.

At a remote construction site, finding electrical connections that are safe and easy to operate can be more challenging compared to within a facility or permanent worksite since resources are limited. This week’s Blog from MELTRIC takes a look at their switch-rated plug solutions that have become the top choice of power connectors for guaranteed safety while providing reliable power.
