How responsible water management, recycling, technology and conservation can help reduce the environmental footprint of mining operations Water is fundamental to mining. From mineral processing and dust suppression to transportation, equipment washing and site rehabilitation, water supports almost every stage of a mining operation. Yet mining also interacts closely with rivers, groundwater systems, catchments and surrounding communities, making responsible water management an important environmental and operational priority. Mining operations can require significant volumes of water while also...

Discover how recycling, resource efficiency and resource recovery are helping the mining industry build a more sustainable, resilient and future-ready ecosystem. The global mining industry is undergoing a significant structural transformation. For decades, the sector has largely followed a linear take-make-waste model: minerals are extracted from the earth, processed into materials and products, and eventually discarded at the end of their useful life. However, rising demand for critical minerals, climate commitments, water scarcity, environmental pressures and increasingly unpredictable suppl...

How innovation, energy efficiency, and skilled talent are reshaping mining for a low-carbon future Mining stands at the centre of one of the defining challenges of our time. The world cannot achieve its climate and energy-transition ambitions without minerals. Copper, lithium, nickel, cobalt, graphite and rare earth elements are essential to electric vehicles, renewable-energy systems, battery storage, transmission infrastructure and other technologies powering the transition to a low-carbon economy. Yet there is an important paradox: the minerals needed to decarbonise the global economy must...
