Though many people never question where the aluminium for their soda can, the steel for their automobiles, or the inner components of their PCs come from, the mining and metals industry touches us all on a daily basis. Mined resources can be found across industry sectors such as agriculture, manufacturing, transportation, utilities, communication, and construction. Because of this diversity and deep integration across economic sectors, the mining and metals industry faces a unique set of challenges.
