Mining Equipment Demand Surges as the Industry Adopts Automation

Thank you my friend MSgt Ken "Airsoldier" Collins-Hardy for making us aware that according to the publication AZO Mining, 69 percent of mining companies now say they’re looking to introduce remote operations of some kind, while 29 percent are considering robotics and 27 percent are taking a look at using unmanned drones.

"A review of ongoing projects in that area and neighboring Quebec show a huge number of mining operations for gold, diamonds, graphite, phosphate, lithium, iron ore, and other minerals. We predict some interesting sourcing activity by mining-related companies in the near future, as new technologies are making their way into the industry.

It is still jobs. Someone has to make, program and control the equipment.

It is a shame indigenous peoples' forests are cut down, people vacated or killed, for resources. They have legitimate grievances but no political power.
