The mining industry is under increasing pressure to discover, develop and operate resources in more complex conditions, with higher expectations around safety, sustainability and capital discipline. This keynote explores how data, artificial intelligence and automation are reshaping how decisions are made across the mining lifecycle, starting with exploration where uncertainty is high and there is the opportunity for significant value creation. Drawing on practical industry experience, BHP’s Mikko Tepponen will examine where digital technologies are already improving outcomes today, and where longer-term shifts in systems, integration and ways of working are beginning to redefine how mining decisions are made over time.
