Mining is a diverse and complex industry of vital importance to the economy. With huge known mineral reserves and major projects under way, many Middle East and African nations are rapidly expanding their mining operations and reforming their mining laws offering great opportunities for existing players, new market entrants and investors. The development, acquisition and assimilation of new technologies are increasingly important determinant of a company`s competitive position in the context of growing market and regulatory pressures. Operating mines can only gain a competitive edge through process and system innovation and the application of technologies. The development of new mining technologies helps to reduce production costs, enhance the quality of mined metals and minerals, reduce adverse environmental effects, health and safety impacts. Thus the mining technological developments benefits consumers and producers, as well as nation`s economy, health and social well being. As demand for metals and mineral commodities increases, so will the need to mine and process them at competitive costs. This means continually finding better methods, technologies, and processes.
