Founders Factory’s Post

⛏️ When you think of mining, you might not necessarily think of water. But the mining industry uses gigalitres of the stuff—accounting for around 1% of all water use in the US. As conversations around water use have intensified, so has the focus on mining’s profound water problem. So how can the mining industry transform the way it manages, treats, and extracts value from waste water? ➡️ Founders Factory Investor Jack Kennedy dives into the murky depths of mining wastewater, identifying areas where he sees opportunities for innovation.

Resilience & Transformation at IMARC 2024: What This Means for Mining & For Prospect For IMARC 2024, we are reflecting on this year’s theme of “Resilience and Transformation.” In mining, resilience means more than adapting to challenges — it’s about using these moments to drive meaningful change. At Prospect, we’re working with different innovators that are leading the charge in: Smarter, data-driven mining with AI 🧠 Carbon reduction and sustainable practices 🌱 Rethinking mineral recovery and waste management ♻️ And many more! IMARC 2024 is more than just an event for us; it’s a place to connect with others pushing the industry forward. #IMARC2024 #MiningInnovation #SustainableFuture

Copper (Cu) is one of five elements that take their Latin name for its symbol in the periodic table. Did you know Cuprum is the Latin name for Cyprus, which is where the Romans first found copper? Looking forward to being in Santiago next week and discussing the future of copper, given its storied past!

It's tomorrow! For all the mining leaders attending Resourcing Tomorrow in London, please join Max Luedtke's key note in the main theatre 1 at 15.20. Max will unveil key findings from our recent research Mining's Moment, data and trends on where, in terms of sustainability, the mining industry is at now, and give collaborative solutions and real case studies to support change towards a modern mining industry. Looking forward to meeting all of you tomorrow! #MiningMoment #RealProgress #ABB #ProcessIndustries

Are you attending the EU #RawMaterialsWeek? Then the following is a must-read! In the new Future Mining Scenarios, jointly developed by INTRAW and SAFE, we present a forward-looking exploration of the mining industry’s future, set against the backdrop of the year 2050. The scenarios are designed to equip decision-makers with a nuanced understanding of potential futures. We aim to foster a proactive approach to policy and strategy development, one that is adaptable and responsive to a range of possible external developments. This report is an invitation to engage with the future of the mining industry, not as a distant abstract, but as an unfolding reality that we have the power to shape. 🔗 Discover the scenarios, including the new factbook released this week on the occasion of Raw Materials Week: https://lnkd.in/dsZ9vAZg   #criticalrawmaterials #RawMaterials #Foresight #Sustainability #MiningIndustry #FutureOfMining #criticalminerals #FutureMiningScenarios

Today we launch Unearthing Tomorrow: Trends shaping the future of mining.   This is the second report in a series based on our 2023 Mining Industry Survey data. It digs deep into some of the large questions facing our industry today: - How will companies operate going forward in a world focussed on the energy transition? - Is mining about to enter a golden age of exploration? - How do companies continue to navigate supply chain disruptions? - How does industry truly address the negative perceptions it faces? - What is the role of space technology and deep-sea mining in the future of the industry? Each chapter is authored by some of our amazing team, including Madi Ratcliffe, Xavier Evans, Georgie Taylor, Lisa Harwood (nee Tidy) and Karsten Wolfram Sommer. You can access a free download of the report here: https://lnkd.in/gFdgKjUz A huge thank you to our sponsors for making this report possible: CSIRO, METS Ignited Australia Ltd and Slate Advisory #mining #miningindustry #energy #energytransition #innovation #strategy #perception #supplychain #geopolitics #exploration
