Mining Magazine and Australia's Mining Monthly's Electric Mine Report

Mine operators across the globe are moving towards electrification at increasing speed.

This is no surprise given the drive to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, create safer working environments and reduce costs associated with diesel and ventilation. In many cases, operators are approaching electrification in a piecemeal fashion, piloting the use of electric trucks or light vehicles or other mobile equipment.

But a handful of mines have replaced their entire fleets with battery-electric vehicles, allowing them to call themselves all-electric.

Mining Magazine and Australia's Mining Monthly have produced a reporting looking at what it takes to build an all-electric mine, exploring themes such as:

  • What are the different components of an electric mine?
  • What needs to be done to prepare a mine for battery-electric vehicles?
  • How do 5G and LTE fit into monitoring, maintaining and improving the performance of the electric mine?
  • What is the role of digitalization and automation in enabling electric mines?
  • Will cost inflation pose a barrier to electric vehicle adoption or is electrification the solution

As part of the report, Mining Magazine and Australia's Mining Monthly sat down with three global experts on mine electrification for a panel discussion on what mine operators should consider when planning for electric fleets, the relationship between electrification and automation, and the likelihood of seeing all-electric mines become a reality in the near future.
