Operational Readiness for Autonomous Mining: Why Technology Alone Fails
Philip Mare
Operational Director,

Sandile Siyaya
Executive Vice President,
Sasol South Africa
Despite rapid advances in automation, AI, and digital mining technologies, fully autonomous mining operations remain the exception rather than the norm.
For large-scale operators, the challenge is not a lack of technology — it is the complex reality of implementation within live, high-risk, production-critical environments.

  • How mining executives prioritise automation within broader operational and capital strategies
  • The sequencing of deployment across underground, surface, and processing systems
  • How legacy operations and infrastructure impact autonomy roadmaps

From Mine Modernisation to Operational Autonomy: How Mining Leaders Prioritise Safety, Performance, Capital Discipline, and Real-World Implementation
Shane Ryan
COO, Trinity Metals Group
For leaders responsible for running and scaling multi-asset operations, the challenge is not simply adopting new technologies — it is delivering them within live production environments while simultaneously developing new assets, maintaining safety, and meeting commercial targets.

Across critical minerals operations and emerging mining regions, this challenge is amplified by:
  • evolving infrastructure and supply chains
  • the need to develop processing capability alongside extraction
  • increasing global demand for responsibly sourced materials
  • workforce development and capability building
  • and the pressure to deliver both short-term production and long-term growth
The transition from modernisation to autonomy is therefore not a linear journey — it is a dynamic balancing act between operational performance, project development, and strategic transformation.
This Session Explores:
  • How mining companies prioritise modernisation and automation alongside active production and project development
  • The sequencing of transformation across underground operations, processing plants, and new project pipelines
  • How safety, performance, and SHEC commitments are maintained during periods of operational change
