Tunisia's mining sector is a state monopoly. Gafsa Basin supplies 90%+ of the national phosphate output.

After years of disruption, the rebuild is underway.

What's changing?

How do mines lose gold without losing a single rock?

Blasting shifts ore by several meters. Without tracking, 9% to 24% of gold goes straight to the waste dump.

The fix? Find out in our article: https://t.co/E0itHRyUvX

What if the next mining superpower isn't known for mining at all? 🇸🇦

Under Vision 2030, Saudi Arabia is moving fast beyond oil. They don't just want to dig—they want to process, finance, and move minerals globally.

GA Drilling’s NexTitan Pulse uses plasma to weaken hard rock. Nabors even backed this tech in a $44M round, likely scaling it in geothermal before mining.

Is this the future of drilling?

Most people think Iran is just about oil, but underground, it’s sitting on massive reserves of copper, iron, lithium and gold.

The real problem? Processing and refining.

How do you find gold hidden under 200m of jungle rock?

Instead of drilling blindly, @LundinGoldEC used @fleetspace’ seismic and satellite tech to map Ecuador’s Fruta del Norte deposit in days, not months.

One wrong drill core interpretation can rewrite an entire mine project.

Now, tech like Corefinder and VERACIO are stepping in to ensure we get it right the first time.

Blasting near structures isn't the problem... poor energy control is.

Engineering the design from the start (using millisecond-precision electronic detonators) can cut vibrations by up to 70%.

Think "old" mines are finished? Neves-Corvo is proving the opposite.

Boliden Somincor’s latest report shows the mine is adding more metal than it’s extracting.

With exploration still open, this "mature" asset is set to run for decades.

The founder of Uber is now hauling rocks.

Travis Kalanick’s new venture, Atoms, just acquired Pronto to bring "plug-and-play" autonomy to quarries.

One site already moved 2M tonnes with zero drivers.

Greenland holds 25 critical minerals and massive rare-earth deposits, but a lack of infrastructure and harsh weather keep them locked away.

Is it a geologist’s dream or a miner’s nightmare?

The end of diesel is being written in Lisbon next week at @theelectricmine.

We are moving electrification from theory to production. The big remaining challenge? Creating universal charging standards so different fleets can actually share power.

I-Pulse just closed the loop on tech that could cut mining energy use by 80%.

By acquiring CSI, they now own the "engine" (the capacitors) behind their rock-crushing pulsed power. From design to execution, they control it all.

What if I tell you we are losing almost one third of our time… not mining, but just dealing with data?

With only 23% of companies using a formal data framework, adding AI right now might just be scaling the mess.

500 applied. Only 6 made the cut. ⚒️

@RioTinto and @foundersfactory are fast-tracking mining tech with direct site access.

Winners include Foresight Spatial Labs, building 3D spatial engines for real-time machine reasoning.

The Moon isn't just a rock: it’s a goldmine for Helium-3.

Just 25 tons could power the U.S. for a year. Companies like Interlune & iSpace are racing to get it, but "razor-sharp" lunar regolith stands in the way.

The most dangerous part of a mine isn't the blasting.
It's the walls.

Just 1° steeper = millions saved (or lost).

A mine doesn’t end when production stops.

Diavik Diamond Mine just closed after 23 years.

Now? Rio Tinto is reversing it - restoring the site.
