2026 Agenda Sessions

Smarter energy use in crushing and milling

Crushing and milling are among the most energy-intensive stages in mining – but smart technologies are changing the game. This session examines how high-efficiency equipment, AI-driven process control, and sensor-based pre-concentration are cutting energy use and boosting performance. This incorporates renewable energy integration, modular systems, and strategic load shifting, which are helping miners reduce costs and emissions.
