When people talk about battery-electric mining, they usually talk about the equipment.

But what about the people?

A new fleet can only be successful if operators, maintenance teams and supervisors understand how to work with it. That's exactly what industry experts discuss in this CIM Academy webinar: https://academy.cim.org/cim/2021/webinars/4150058/faculty.presenters.the.importance.of.training.for.bev.adoption.html?f=menu%3D28%2Abrowseby%3D8%2Asortby%3D2%2Alabel%3D19660

Strong project transitions depend on knowing when the data, models and teams are ready to support the next decision. At MRMR 2026, industry leaders and technical professionals will examine how organizations can assess modelling readiness, break down silos across disciplines and understand how project assumptions carry through to public disclosure.

Join the conversation and gain practical insights to support more confident decisions at every stage of the project lifecycle.

______________________________________

La réussite des transitions entre projets repose sur la capacité à déterminer à quel moment les données, les modèles et les équipes sont prêts à étayer la prochaine décision. Lors du MRMR 2026, des leaders du secteur et des experts techniques examineront comment les organisations peuvent évaluer l'état de préparation des modèles, briser les cloisonnements entre les disciplines et comprendre comment les hypothèses de projet se répercutent sur la communication publique.

Participez à la discussion et découvrez des conseils pratiques pour prendre des décisions en toute confiance à chaque étape du cycle de vie d'un projet.
