Dundee Precious Metals isn't the only mining operation leveraging digital to disrupt its business. The Chilean government owned firm, Codelco, is the largest copper producer in the world and they embarked on a digital transformation in 2003. Today, they run four mines with some level of autonomous systems and have radically improved worker safety, productivity, and environmental stewardship as a result. Doubling down, Codelco will begin to deploy robots and more complex cyber physical systems in productive mines in 2016. This is the third phase of a rollout after the systems are first proven in concentrator plants and smelting facilities in phase one and open pit mines in phase two.
