"We conducted geotechnical research in Yanacocha and evaluated a tailings deposit within a leach pad. Introducing the Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) equipment to gather detailed information on mineral characteristics was a groundbreaking initiative, marking a first in the country."
MANAGING DIRECTOR SPANISH SPEAKING LATIN AMERICA, WEIR ESCO
"By optimizing machines for faster loading, and moving larger volumes in less time, there is a notable reduction in energy consumption during the mining process."
"In Peru, we expect to reach a cruising speed with our new contracts while consistently driving internal innovation projects to remain cost-competitive."
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, AMERICAN EXPLORATION & MINING ASSOCIATION (AEMA)
"Relying solely on allies for our needs is no longer a viable strategy. While complete mineral independence may be challenging, responsibly utilizing our domestic resources whenever feasible is imperative."
"We have tested autonomous trucks and underground battery-driven equipment, and currently we have several open-pit drills at Carlin operating autonomously."
PRESIDENT AND CEO, CENTRE FOR EXCELLENCE IN MINING INNOVATION (CEMI)
"The evolving role of mining, from a previously overlooked sector to now being considered a critical industry globally, underscores the need for strategic innovation and sustainable mining practices."
Québec and Atlantic Canada have traversed 2025 in an enviable position. Strong gold prices have buoyed balance sheets and investor sentiment, while global demand for critical minerals keeps the region firmly on the radar of international markets. At the same time, the provinces’ depth of mining expertise – from AI-driven exploration to advanced drilling, blasting, and geophysics – ensures that technological advantage is firmly on their side.
