This article focuses on the types of mining and risks associated with it, eventually focusing on the environmental effects. The article then focuses on the Mining Guidance System (MGS) developed by AMT technologies along with its features and advantages.
Gold mining is one of the worst industrial sources of global greenhouse gas emissions. It makes sense that decarbonization needs to happen across the industry to increase sustainability standards and reach net-zero targets for 2050. Mining companies are increasingly investing in solar and wind technologies to economize and reduce their operational carbon emissions.
