He graduated from the Camborne School of Mines in 1974 and spent the next half a century globe-trotting around the world from mine sites as far flung as Peru and Papua New Guinea. With this, Alan decided to write a book so we dig deep into the contents the book, and understand Alan’s career and see what we can learn from his overseas knowledge and experience.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Striking out on your own in the industry is the natural impulse for those with experience. Opportunities that once seemed distant become a reality when we absorb the wisdom of others.

If you have an offer to travel and work in other countries, always make sure you do your due diligence on not just the company itself, but the country and its culture and values. You need to align with all of it.
We learn by the stories of others, and take teachings from the experiences they have had. This is why it's vital that all of life and its adventures are documented in some way.

BEST MOMENTS

'I raised a few bucks, drilled a few holes'

'We realised that being in Ecuador was not sensible at the time'

How Technology and Robotics are Transforming the Mining Industry - with Michelle Ash

In this episode, we chat with Michele Ash again who appeared back in April 2019 (Ep 22). She is about to join OZ Minerals in a newly created role as a technology executive which will involve work around digital, robotics and automation, mining technology, and transformation

Michelle talks about how the industry is using robotic mining now and will do so in the future. As well as the subjects of using small swarm robots to mine and using blockchain as a way to drive exploration investment.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

If the industry wants to lower costs, drive zero-carbon, and improve people´s lives it has to embrace technology fast.
Robots can solve 5 broad problems for the mining industry. In the podcast, Michelle explains what they are and how robots will help.
Finding every last scrap of a resource is essential. Especially copper, which we desperately need to decarbonise. Technology will help.
Automation creates data that the industry can use to better understand and improve processes as well as solve more of its problems.
Robots make mines safer, for example, barring and blast robots.
Automated technology has the potential to make mining more precise, reducing waste and impact.
When mines are more productive, more people will be needed to process the ore and to maintain the robotics.
Free robotic repair and technology courses are now widely available, including online.
The industry must not grab technology then look for a problem to solve with it.
How the industry applies risk is slowing the adaption of technology down. Michelle explains why in the podcast.
Working on technological solutions collaboratively with other companies greatly reduces the cost.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Mining touches every person on the planet, every day. ´

‘There are 5 broad problems the mining industry is trying to solve… all of which robotics can help with.’

‘Flipping from focusing on the technology to focusing on the problem will be really important.’
