The May issue of MINE magazine is out now, with articles focusing on uranium and nickel, as well as efforts to electrify the mining industry.
Uranium exploration and mine development expenditure continues to increase, according to the latest version of the ‘Red Book’, jointly published by the International Atomic Energy Agency and the OECD Nuclear Energy Agency in April.
However, with the world’s largest supplier, Kazakhstan, sending much of its uranium to China, we ask whether the West is equipped to fuel a potential nuclear resurgence.
We also look in more detail at Kazakhstan’s efforts to encourage investment in mining and the role of international partnerships in promoting sector growth.
Plus, we speak to the project manager at Reko Diq in Pakistan about recent milestones and the next steps for the Tier 1 copper-gold mine.
In commodities, GlobalData assesses recent nickel market volatility and its implications for the global energy transition.
We also explore if miners can swap out diesel-consuming equipment for battery-powered alternatives, with added insights from a Pakistan-based miner on the technical and economic considerations when adopting electric trucks.
Finally, the May issue of MINE includes a selection of the mining-related developments from bauma 2025, which attracted around 600,000 visitors from more than 200 countries on 7–13 April.
Head over to MINE to read all this and more. Don't forget to sign up to receive the latest issues of the magazine direct to your inbox.
