Panel: Tailings, safety and mining’s ‘Zero Harm’ approach: are people and communities being prioriti

Recent tailings catastrophes such as at South Africa’s Jagersfontein mine have refocused efforts to prevent tragedy and reduce tailings as part of both HSE and environmental priorities – how will this be achieved?

Insights on the ICMM Tailings Reduction Roadmapwhich lays out innovative approaches and solutions capable of significantly reducing tailings from the mine life cycle, as part of a broader Tailings Innovation Initiative.

Strengthening ESG: Why Anti-Corruption and Business Integrity in the Mining Sector are Key for the E

As the world moves towards cleaner sources of energy, demand for minerals is growing exponentially. The mining sector has a critical role to ensure that the energy transition is sustainable and just. Low-carbon technologies in power generation and in transport require a higher level of mineral inputs than their fossil-fuel based versions. This includes notable minerals like cobalt, copper, lithium, nickel and rare earths among others.
