MINExpo International returns after a year off due to Covid-19, taking place in the Las Vegas Convention Center on 13–15 September 2021. Held every four years since 1996, MINExpo International is the world’s preeminent showcase of mining equipment, services and technologies. The 2021 expo will be one of the fi rst in-person events for the industry in the wake of the pandemic, providing a vital networking opportunity for industry leaders and decision makers across the globe.
he Covid-19 pandemic has brought disruption to just about every aspect of daily life, and the mining industry has not been spared from its effects. In previous times of crisis for the industry, decision makers had been able to come together to work out the best course of action to take, to consult among each other and plan for the road ahead. The pandemic, however, has proved to be a different beast, severing those lines of connection and preventing in-person collaboration just when it was most needed. However, with vaccination efforts rolling out across the globe, some semblance of normality has started to emerge, allowing key gatherings of the industry’s greatest minds and representatives to take place once more. After a year’s delay due to the Covid-19 pandemic, MINExpo International 2021 returns from 13–15 September at the Las Vegas Convention Center, and looks set to bring together the latest cutting-edge equipment, innovations, services and technologies to boost the industry to a whole new level and fuel its long-term growth.
MINExpo provides an opportunity for industry stakeholders to ask questions to professional subject-matter experts.
Organised by the National Mining Association (NMA), the event comes at a turning point for the industry – as the global demand for clean energy continues to grow, mining will become increasingly integral to those attempting to supply it. Three billion
tonnes of minerals and metals will be required for the wind, solar, geothermal power and energy storage needed to prevent global warming from exceeding a 2ºC average increase by 2100, according to the World Bank. In the US, the current goal to halve carbon emissions by 2030 and become carbon neutral by 2060 is estimated to increase mineral demands by 1,000% by 2050, according to the Center for Strategic and International Studies.
While an investment in mining is vital in order to obtain the natural resources required to advance alternative energy, the benefits of doing so go much further. The mining industry represents a key industrial base that will contribute massively to an electrified future, consisting of hundreds of thousands of jobs that have the potential to rebuild local and global economies. NMA statistics from 2020 show that, in the US alone, minerals mining contributed $82.3bn in GDP to the economy and provided 420,000 direct jobs at an average wage of over $80,000.
, and showcasing the latest products and services for mining from more than 1,100 exhibitors, MINExpo International 2021 covers the entire industry – exploration, mine development, open pit and underground mining, processing, safety, environmental improvement and more. MINExpo 2021 is the only in-person event this year that offers the ability to get up close and personal with the latest mining innovations and equipment. The event provides a unique opportunity to ask questions to professional subject-matter experts, in addition to a comprehensive curriculum of technical education. Among the event’s many exhibitors, some of the key innovations you can expect to see include offerings from Sandvik, Caterpillar and Eriez. Sandvik is set to display several of its latest innovations for the very first time at MINExpo 2021, including its AutoMine Concept vehicle. The first fully autonomous battery-electric vehicle (BEV)
