Despite a difficult current market, coal remains the fastest growing fuel outside of renewable energy, with consumption growing by 2.5% in 2012. In this month’s ‘Spotlight Feature Article’, from the pages of the August issue of International Mining magazine, Assistant Editor Robert Pell looks at recent project developments and regional patterns within the publication’s Annual Coal Review.

For this month’s ‘Spotlight Feature Article’, from the pages of the July 2013 issue of International Mining, Editor Paul Moore gets caught up with the progress on some of the major IPCC projects that are currently either well underway or close to commissioning; all in anticipation of IM Events’ third global IPCC 2013 conference being held in the Hilton Cologne from 13th to 15th October.

In this month’s ‘Spotlight Feature Article’, from the pages of the June 2013 issue of International Mining magazine, we look at tougher liquid emissions constraints in mining, as well as the constant battle for sufficient water resources, and better technologies for handling it.

From gear cutting to foundry casting and supply of high strength steel plate, a number of heavy engineering groups form the backbone of many forms of mining equipment – from chutes and hoppers to truck bodies and mill liners. In this month’s ‘Spotlight Feature Article’, from the pages of International Mining magazine, Editor Paul Moore provides a look at the activity of key suppliers, not only for products on the open market but as strategic component sources for large OEMs.

Projected new mines and major mine expansions in Canada will total more than 50 over the next five to six years. To keep up and adjust to projections, major infrastructure improvements are required. In this month’s Spotlight Feature Article, from the pages of the April issue of International Mining magazine, John Chadwick looks at how, with a reputation of leadership and innovation, Canada’s domestic equipment and technology suppliers are up to the task.

In this month’s Spotlight Feature Article, from the pages of the March 2013 issue of International Mining magazine, John Chadwick looks at the application of heavy media separation (HMS), flotation developments, cleaning up conventional pyro metallurgy, and some innovative technologies for maximising efficiencies in copper processing and treatment.

In this month’s ‘Spotlight Featured Article”, direct from the February 2013 issue of International Mining magazine, Editor Paul Moore reviews mineral exploration trends and technology, from drilling to geophysics, and submitted for your timely consideration just ahead of the Annual Prospectors & Developers (PDAC) show in Toronto.

The advantages of In-Pit Crushing & Conveying, in the right context, are irrefutable. In this month’s Spotlight Feature Article, from the pages of the January issue of International Mining, Editor Paul Moore reports on IPCC 2012 in Bali, an IM Events conference. The conference highlighted current progress – with record orders for IPCC systems being delivered – and homed-in particularly on the potential in Asia.

As operating costs rise, mines around the world are looking at their equipment and focusing on maximising efficiency and productivity to get more with less. In this month’s Spotlight Feature Article, from the pages of the December 2012 edition of International Mining magazine, John Chadwick considers the important role of wear reduction in this effort.

In this month’s Spotlight Feature Article, from the pages of the November 2012 issue of International Mining, Editor Paul Moore reports that the provision of maintenance and service monitoring systems, local support centres, and, planning strategies to help owners and operators maximise uptime are crucial in mining across the board, from crushers to shovels.
