Industry Collaboration with Mining3: Driving the Future of Mining

About Mining3

Mining3 is a leading mining research organization dedicated to developing and deploying innovative technologies for the global resources sector. With a strong focus on sustainability, safety, and operational efficiency, Mining3 collaborates with industry partners, governments, and technology providers to accelerate the adoption of next-generation solutions. Its work spans areas such as automation, advanced sensing, and environmental monitoring – making it a natural partner for initiatives that bridge earth observation (EO) with on-the-ground mining operations.

Strategic Partnerships Leading the Way

In February 2024, Eartheye Space and Mining3 announced the establishment of a Space-Tech Center of Excellence. This initiative brings together expertise in EO and mining research to explore how satellite-derived information, when combined with ground sensor data, can provide a more complete picture of mining operations. The goal is to enable greater transparency, efficiency, and environmental accountability across the industry.

A Shift Toward Automated, Multi-Sensor Monitoring

The momentum behind these collaborations signals more than just technological progress. The integration of EO data into mining operations represents a fundamental evolution – where decisions are increasingly guided by automated, multi-sensor monitoring systems. This trajectory reflects the industry’s drive toward operational excellence, sustainability, and long-term resilience.

As collaboration deepens across technology providers, research institutions, and mining operators, the future of the industry is clear: mining will be defined not only by the resources it extracts, but also by the information it harnesses from above and below the ground.
