China is replacing Australian iron ore with Guinean ore, as it builds a railway in Guinea to transport iron ore from the Simandou mine, opening the door to importing high-quality African iron ore as a major alternative to Australia. A strategic move to strengthen resource security and diversify supply chains.

This is the longest train in the world. It connects Sishen (Northern Cape) with Saldanha Port (Western Cape). It is an 861-kilometre-long heavy-haul railway line in South Africa. It transports about 60 million tonnes of iron ore per year. We will not stop lobbying for the introduction of concrete measures to beneficiate our strategic minerals in the province, as this Pit2Port colonial structure of the mining economy continues to impoverish our communities.

Atoms CEO travis kalanick says GTM in the mining industry is completely different from GTM in consumer businesses like Uber. "Going from doing consumer to doing business is a whole other ball game. That takes years off your lifespan. Mining GTM is cray cray." "A month ago I dropped into the deep Amazon in Northern Brazil, it's like the Amazon of the Amazon, to visit a customer operating a massive iron ore mine." After he and his team arrive on site, he says Atoms installs autonomy kits on both new and decades-old mining equipment, which helps the mines produce more, improve safety, and lower OpEx.

Environmental activist Bandu Dhotre, who had been on a hunger strike against a proposed mining project in a crucial tiger corridor in Maharashtra’s Chandrapur district, was forcibly removed by police from the protest site on Monday, 9 March, and shifted to a hospital. Dhotre, along with several other activists, had been fasting in protest against an iron ore mining project proposed in the Brahmapuri forest division of Chandrapur. The area forms a critical wildlife corridor connected to the Tadoba-Andhari Tiger Reserve — Maharashtra’s largest national park. The iron ore mine, proposed by Nagpur-based Sunflag Iron and Steel Company Ltd., was cleared by the State Board for Wildlife (SBWL) in January. The board is chaired by Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis. The approval came despite strong objections from the SBWL’s own expert committee, which had recommended against allowing the project in the ecologically sensitive corridor. Dhotre has been leading the campaign against the project since the clearance was granted nearly two months ago, mobilising environmental groups and local residents. According to Dhotre, officials from the administration had repeatedly urged him to end the fast. “After the medical examination, doctors clearly stated that my health was stable. I had also made it clear that I did not wish to be admitted to the hospital,” Dhotre told The Quint. “Despite this, the authorities forcefully removed me from the protest site. This is happening under political pressure,” he said. Dhotre added that the agitation against the mining project would continue despite poluce action. Read the full report by Eshwar:

The world’s largest electric vehicle isn’t a car or bus—it’s the eDumper, a 45-tonne mining truck in Switzerland. It hauls 65 tonnes and can finish a shift with more charge than it started, thanks to regenerative braking. If we can electrify mining trucks, what’s next?

One gigawatt of wind capacity requires about 2,900 tons of copper. At a standard ore grade of 0.6%, 99.4% of the ore is not copper. Producing those 2,900 tons therefore requires processing roughly 480,000 tons of ore. That is about 1,200 full loads in a 400-ton-class mining truck. And it excludes the waste rock, overburden and processing losses. Count those and the total material moved can exceed 1 to 2 million tons. And that's before adding the steel, concrete, fiberglass and other materials required by the wind project. The "green" turbine does not begin with the wind. It begins with a mountain being blasted, hauled and crushed.
