Innovation in mining is not as nascent as the recent and intense upswing in the sector's discussion fora suggests. What is driving the increased chatter is the unprecedented disruptive nature of these innovations. Innovation usually involves novel technology that is marked by a thought-through intent to drive change that will have meaningful and broad societal impact in economic and social spheres at scale. Disruptive technologies present as a subset of innovative technologies that, are not only impactful but, cause a restructuring of how systems are organized. Consequently, disruptive technologies in the mining sector go beyond general innovation-based impact to a restructuring of what is mined, who mines, and how minerals are extracted and sold.
Naturally, this restructuring is driven by the private sector. Increase in the demand for metals that support a low carbon future, such as lithium, graphite, copper and cobalt, which is forecast to double by 2030;1 the entrance of influential non-traditional players in the sector such as consumer brands and tech companies,2 the use of advanced robotics to facilitate more efficient and safe mineral extraction;3 application of blockchain technology to eliminate friction in information exchange that allows for direct sale to end users without intermediaries or chain of custody certifications are some examples of the technology-driven innovations that are fast becoming disruptive.
