Transforming Mining with Electrification and Automation: Newmont and Caterpillar’s Pioneering Alliance A few weeks ago, I shared insights on BHP's progress in electrifying heavy-duty trucks. Now, Newmont Corporation has taken a bold step in that same direction by announcing a strategic alliance with Caterpillar Inc. to develop a fully electric, autonomous mining system. With an initial investment of $100 million, this alliance aims to improve safety, productivity, and sustainability across two continents and set a powerful example for the mining industry. The Newmont-Caterpillar collaboration will implement an electric, autonomous haulage fleet for surface and underground operations by 2027, leveraging cutting-edge technology at their Cripple Creek & Victor (CC&V) mine in the U.S. and the Tanami mine in Australia. This deployment will also support Newmont's ambitious greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction target of over 30% by 2030, advancing toward net-zero carbon by 2050. In the years ahead, countries like Chile are poised to become leaders in electrified mining as this transformative technology gains traction globally. Through automation, decarbonization, and advanced data management, Newmont and Caterpillar’s alliance sets a new standard for sustainable mining. By combining Newmont’s operational capabilities with Caterpillar’s technology, this collaboration marks a critical shift towards energy-efficient and safer mining practices worldwide.

We’re committed to achieving net zero by 2050 – find out how we’re progressing in this article in International Mining. #Sustainability #NetZero #Mining #InternationalMining
Evolution Mining to evaluate fleet as part of emissions reduction pathway Evolution Mining, like many of its gold mining peers, has made a commitment to emissions reduction by 2030 on the way to achieving ‘net zero’ status by 2050. This relates to Scope 1 & 2 emissions compared with its FY20 financial year baseline. Evolution’s recent FY24 Annual Sustainability Report shows the company’s progress on this journey, demonstrating it is almost halfway to achieving the 2030 goal of a 30% reduction, with the circa-12% reduction in emissions in the last year against the adjusted FY20 baseline. The company’s emissions reduction pathway includes leveraging partnerships, including a new one with Caterpillar Inc.’s Pathway to Sustainability program, as part of its broader focus on emissions reduction. It is also investigating is the use of diesel-electric loaders, plus Evolution has engaged Sandvik Mining and Rock Solutions as part of its fleet transition plans, with the potential of carrying out a trial on DL422iE battery-electric longhole drills at its Red Lake operation. All of this comes on top of its existing battery-electric vehicle work at Red Lake with Epiroc battery-electric loaders.
