Mining will look very different in the future as it sets about keeping pace with technology and disruptions. According to Mxolisi Mgojo, CEO of Exxaro Resources, industries either adapt to new technologies or find themselves obsolete. “Disruption is everywhere and the mining sector has to assess what this means to its business,” he said. “There are challenges in this but also opportunities as it will allow us as an industry to introduce step change improvements for new business models.” He said at Exxaro this meant looking at their business with a new lens. “We now embed technology and innovation into every aspect of what we do,” said Mgojo. “We have redefined how we look at projects."
