Are mining companies looking at tailings management the wrong way?
When companies compare tailings disposal options, are they focusing too much on upfront costs and not enough on the full lifecycle? This is something that my latest @digdeep_mining guest discussed - Jurgen Hahn, Senior Manager in Product and Business Development at BOKELA GmbH.
We discussed why lifecycle costs matter, how tailings filtration is evolving, what dry stacking offers, the industry's push towards safer operations, and how net zero and recycling could influence mining's future.
An insightful conversation for anyone involved in mine planning, processing, operations or tailings management. Listen now ⬇️ ⬇️

The mining companies that will thrive over the next decade won't necessarily be those with the best assets; they'll be those with the strongest people strategy.
Across the industry, companies are facing a combination of skills shortages, an ageing workforce, increasing competition for talent, and changing employee expectations.
Yet many organisations are still approaching these challenges as separate issues.
The reality is that attraction, retention, leadership development, succession planning, and employer branding are all connected.
The mining companies that are building sustainable workforces aren't simply filling vacancies. They're taking a longer-term view of talent and investing in the systems, culture, and leadership needed to retain and develop their people to support long-term growth.
Check out our latest article where we explore:
🔹 Why mining's talent challenge is becoming more complex
🔹 The role employer branding plays in attracting top talent
🔹 How career development and internal mobility support retention
🔹 Why succession planning should start long before leadership vacancies arise
🔹 What a modern Mining Talent Strategy looks like
Whether you're responsible for recruitment, HR, workforce planning, or leading a mining operation, these are challenges that are increasingly shaping business performance and growth.

Gold’s Bull Market Is Only Halfway Through...
I sat down with renowned precious metals analyst Jeff Clark @TheGoldAdvisor on the latest episode of @digdeep_mining and his outlook on #gold, #silver, and #mining #stocks is fascinating.
We discussed:
🔸 Why silver may still be undervalued relative to gold
🔸 How debt levels and money printing correlate with rising gold prices
🔸 What Jeff looks for in mining stocks: people, politics, and projects
🔸 Why Wall Street may not have fully entered the precious metals sector yet
🔸 The comparison between today’s market and the 1970s gold bull market
🔸 Why Jeff believes the current correction is a healthy consolidation, not the end of the bull market
One of the most interesting takeaways was Jeff’s view that the current gold bull market may only be halfway through if history repeats the 1970s cycle.
This episode is well worth a listen! ⬇️
