Creating the Future of Mining

Mining and mining services are being transformed by automation, remote operations, AI, and the rising expectations of investors, communities, and governments. Capture the growing value in the future shape of mining.

Ross Dawson has delivered keynotes and executive sessions for mining companies, mining services businesses, and energy and resources groups across Asia, Australia and Europe.

Keynote overview

Automation and remote operations. Sites run from hundreds of kilometers away change the operation, the workforce and the risk profile together.
Data as the operating asset. The value is not in collecting the data, it is in the decisions the organization is structured to make with it.
Humans + AI in the workforce. AI absorbs monitoring, scheduling and analysis, and the workforce shifts toward judgment, exception handling and oversight.
Sustainability as license to operate. Environmental and social performance is now a condition of access to capital, to ground and to people.
Digital strategy and governance. Boards carry the governance of digital and AI decisions, which is a different competence from approving capital projects.
The services layer. Mining services companies face the same transformation ahead of their clients, and can lead it or absorb it.
