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.

In addition to the category of Mining Equipment and Supplies, sourcing activity is also up in the related categories of Self-Dumping Hoppers, which is up 31 percent week-over-week. Deep Hole Drilling is up 46 percent week-over-week, and sourcing activity for Safety Equipment and Supplies is up a whopping 190 percent week-over-week on our platform.
Moving on from these categories, here’s a look at the top ten industrial product and service categories being sourced on the Thomasnet.com platform over the past four weeks:
CNC Machining
Injection Molded Plastics
Metal Stampings
Metal Fabrication
Steel
Corrugated Boxes
Tube Fabrication & Bending Services
Printed Circuit Boards
Plastic Bottles
Non-Destructive Testing Services"
