A shared platform where the mining ecosystem belongs.
Innovation in Mining is strengthened by a growing ecosystem of professional associations, technical bodies, HR institutions, academic partners and industry contributors.
The institutions powering 2026
How institutional bodies show up
Mining, operational and technical depth — conversations on automation, robotics, autonomous drilling, hauling, remote operations and mechanisation readiness in narrow tabular and hard-rock environments.
Safety, engineering and emergency-response leadership — Winch PDS, AI camera systems with on-the-edge computing, rail-bound equipment safety and Missing Person's Locator systems.
People, HR, governance and workplace capability — high-risk discipline, legal defensibility, digital literacy, competency frameworks, knowledge transfer and skills retention.
Connecting research to implementation through the University of Pretoria (missing locator research), the UJ Mock Mine (digitalisation testbed), Wits University (ultra-deep mining) and UNISA.
Official media partner amplifying the platform's voice and contribution across the African mining ecosystem.
Founding partner — co-creators of the platform since its 2019 inception alongside founder Bokang Kelepa.
