Mining

From almost the beginning of history, humankind has been digging up useful materials,

Modern day mining is done on a mega-scale to meet the demands of a rapidly developing society, with each new technological leap needing fresh resources.

Smartphones, electric vehicles, computers and medical devices all contain metals and minerals which have to be mined.

Everything from rare metals like gold, silver and platinum, through to lithium, copper and cobalt, finds its way from under the ground to the palm of your hand.
