The use of robots in the metal ore mining industry is improving the efficiency and productivity of mines and reduces operational costs. Robotics is significantly increasing the mining capabilities by rolling out autonomous trucks and drills, thus reducing the need for human workforce. Robots are used in some critical mining activities such as drilling, blasting explosives in the mines, and guiding and driving off-highway haul trucks operating in mines. RioTinto has deployed driverless trucks and robotic rock drilling rigs to haul the ore 24 hours a day and reported 15% reduction in operating costs. For instance, BHP Billiton has also rolled out driverless trucks and drills in its iron ore mines.

THE BUSINESS RESEARCH COMPANY EXPECTS THE METAL ORE MINING MARKET TO GROW TO $671 BILLION BY 2021

Asia Pacific was the largest region in the metal ore mining market in 2017, accounting for four-fifth of the market share. This is mainly because most countries in the region have large mineral resources and high demand.

According to The Business Research Company’s Consultant, Nitin Gianchandani, the use of renewable energy is helping mining companies reduce power costs and control emissions in the mines. As the solar or wind projects are built close to the mine sites, the cost of connecting to the power grid is also reduced. Site-appropriate renewable energy sources are reliable, consistent and also economical. BHP Billiton, RioTinto, and Barrick Gold have started implementation of renewable energy sources in their mines. According to a report published by EY, RioTinto aims to generate 10% of 20MW – 25MW mine demand from renewables in one of their mines and expects to reduce its diesel use by approximately 4 million liters and its CO2 emissions by 12,000 tons.
