Euro Mine Expo 2026 opens next week at Skellefteå Kraft Arena in northern Sweden, with a fully booked exhibitor floor and delegates expected from more than 40 countries. Organisers are positioning the exhibition area as a “leading arena for the green transition”, with suppliers showcasing low‑carbon mining equipment, electrified fleets and process optimisation technologies tailored to Nordic underground and open‑pit operations. For engineers, the event offers concentrated access to OEMs and technology developers working on decarbonised haulage, energy‑efficient comminution and digital monitoring of mine infrastructure.

MaxMine has rolled out a production-grade machine learning system for load and dump classification across Australian mine fleets operated by Glencore, NRW Holdings and Macmahon, with the platform now running continuously for six months. The edge-deployed models automatically tag truck payload events in near real time, sharply cutting missed or misclassified loads and reducing manual data cleaning by site engineers. Early results point to tighter haulage cycle control and more reliable production reporting, giving dispatch and planning teams higher-confidence payload and cycle-time data.

Metso has secured orders worth over €10 million to supply two horizontal grinding mills to Emerald Resources NL for the Dingo Range gold project in Western Australia and the Memot gold project in Cambodia, with booking recorded in the Minerals segment’s June 2026 quarter. The twin-mill package signals parallel process plant build-outs across two jurisdictions, giving Emerald commonality in comminution equipment, spares and control philosophy. For project engineers, early mill selection fixes key design envelopes for foundations, power demand and downstream throughput at both greenfield sites.
