1. Technology revolution and re-skilling of workers triggers more demand for
training of higher-value technology-driven jobs by experts (e.g. data mining &
analytics).
2. Big data transfer triggers fast growing demand in 5G.
3. Massive advances in automated and unmanned, remote controlled, sensor-based
autonomous mining triggers demand for highest IT security standards.
4. Likely merging of parallel technology streams: e.g. high capacity batteries &
smart communication e.g. automated electric drone swarms hauling ore to
plants or railheads.
5. Wet tailings dams will be monitored, safer, and replaced by dry tailings.
6. Increasing transparency in raw materials provenance and value chains
mining product recycling.
