Perhaps the most significant advances in the mining industry currently are the introduction of explosives, motorised drilling, and geographic information systems. Specifically, there's the the HyLogger, an automated hyperspectral logging technology. Instead of digging for professionals to examine samples to see what potetial a location has, which is an expensive process, the hylogger characterises minerals in drill core samples much faster and more accurately than any human.

Automated trucks and trains can improve safety and precision. And Jumbo, the DT912D, uses a 205-kilowatt diesel-hydraulic engine, a four-cubic-metre compressor and 1000-litre water tank, allows operations that are faster and safer as well as more efficient.
