Aspermont Managing Director Alex Kent said:

"The establishment of the Mining Magazine Intelligence (MMI) unit is a natural progression for Aspermont to leverage its extensive historical base in Mining Magazine's 110 years of continuous publication.

The prior launch of Mining Journal Intelligence (MJI), a few years ago, has proved a successful pilot for what will now become the model for a series of other new research division launches.

Aspermont is founded on the principles of high-value content and premium paying audiences. Its long-established brands and database support the company's accelerated growth strategy which leverages industry intelligence and Aspermont's global digital distribution capabilities to provide new quality recurring revenues to incrementally build Aspermont's bottom-line profits."

Product Overview - Automation Report 2020

Aspermont is pleased to announce publication of the Automation Report, a comprehensive review of automation in the mining industry. This important report is a product of the newly created Mining Magazine Intelligence (MMI) division. Aspermont research, at large, has been covering developments in the mining industry since Mining Journal was first published in 1835.

The Automation Report is focussed on the current state of technology in the global mining industry, covering both major mines and advanced development projects, collecting 50 technologically focussed data points for 80 mines, all of which are globally significant producers.

The Automation Report is the first publication from the Mining Magazine intelligence suite of research products which are designed to provide a comprehensive review of important aspects of the mining industry with access to a specific data base. New research products in this format to be launched include the Exploration Report, the Digitalisation Report and the Future Fleets Report. These will become annual publications, produced by the dedicated Mining Magazine Intelligence team and all emanate from Aspermont's long established and increasingly robust internal database covering all aspects of the global mining industry.

Chris Cann, Head of Aspermont Research & Intelligence, said:

"We found that despite the rhetoric on the importance of automation technology, the actual implementation of new opportunities has been limited on a global scale and not enough new mines are being built. New mines in production or under consideration benefit from built in automation and yet the building of new mines and the retrofitting of existing mines has been held back by the lack of a comprehensive, constantly updated data base on the many alternative automation processes now available. We, at Mining Magazine Intelligence, have addressed this issue and our research confirms that the return on investment at partly or fully automated operations is far higher when automation processes have been installed"
