CONTENTS
Welcome
The May issue of International Mining Engineer has a particular emphasis on artifi cial intelligence, predictive maintenance and digitalisation. The special feature (page 8)
examines how miners at the mercy of the weather can leverage AI to generate more precise weather reports from millions of climate data points. As current mines are depleted
and miners are pushed toward lower grade deposits in more remote areas, our Q&A with Earth AI (page 21) explores the Australian startup’s algorithm for pinpointing untapped reserves. If its current discoveries are anything to go by, Earth AI could hold one of the keys to the future of eff icient mining. Eff iciency is also the focus of an
article by Flender (page 20), which emphasises how geared mill drive systems save companies time and money by taking a holistic approach towards their practices. Cleaner mining is another vital
consideration for most mining operators, and the magazine addresses this too. An article from TLX Technologies (page 26) explains the value of selective catalyst reduction thermal management systems for off - road logging vehicles, and their role in reducing Nox emissions. Having had the opportunity to
assist editor Nicola Brittain with this issue of International Mining Engineer, I am delighted to become the magazine’s editor beginning with our upcoming August issue. We always aim to provide
meaningful and informative content to our readers, and should you have any ideas for articles you wish to see in future issues, please reach out to
