Today’s show is a great discussion with the vastly experienced Alan Broome.
We looked at what the mines of the future will look like, where the low hanging fruit is in respect to innovation, how Australia can stay ahead of the curve, what it means for those working in the industry and a whole bunch more.
This episode was made in partnership with Austmine's GRX Conference.
