Technology was everywhere at CIM CONNECT 2026.

But one idea stood above the rest: "Automation is not a silver bullet—it exposes bottlenecks."

Rather than focusing on the technology itself, the discussion centred on operational readiness and why successful digital transformation begins with people and processes.

The Canadian government recently announced new funding to test battery-electric fleets at multiple underground mine sites, focusing on real-world performance, profitability and barriers to wider adoption.

As the project progresses, understanding the fundamentals behind BEV deployment will help mining professionals follow the results and consider what they could mean for operations.

The Battery Electric Vehicles for Operations in Mining short course introduces battery technologies, safety principles, business considerations and operating practices through case studies and practical examples.

MRMR 2026 explores how innovation is reshaping resource and reserve modelling—from strategic industry priorities to the technical foundations behind more reliable estimates.

Discover new perspectives on geostatistics, geological domains and foundational modelling, alongside the growing role of AI, automation and digital technologies in geoscience. Through practical insights and industry experience, the program will examine how these advances can strengthen geological confidence, support better-informed decisions and connect resource models more closely with operational realities.

Join the professionals advancing the models—and decisions—that shape the future of mining.
_______________

MRMR 2026 explore la manière dont l'innovation redéfinit la modélisation des ressources et des réserves, depuis les priorités stratégiques du secteur jusqu'aux fondements techniques permettant d'obtenir des estimations plus fiables.

Découvrez de nouvelles perspectives sur la géostatistique, les domaines géologiques et la modélisation fondamentale, ainsi que le rôle croissant de l’IA, de l’automatisation et des technologies numériques dans les géosciences. Grâce à des analyses concrètes et à l’expérience du secteur, le programme examinera comment ces avancées peuvent renforcer la fiabilité des données géologiques, favoriser des décisions mieux éclairées et rapprocher davantage les modèles de ressources des réalités opérationnelles.

Rejoignez les professionnels qui font évoluer les modèles – et les décisions – qui façonnent l’avenir de l’exploitation minière.
