Abstract

Digitalization has the power to fundamentally change many of the longstanding characteristics of mining, from the ways work is done, to where it is done and by whom. In particular, digitalization may decrease the direct value that mining can deliver to mining communities. Based primarily on Canadian experience, the paper frames a range of possible impacts and implications as digitalization changes the ‘value proposition’ of local resource extraction, and identifies a suite of possible actions that the main players in natural resource extraction regions may contemplate as they face digitalization. Addressing the impacts of digitalization and working to rethink the value proposition are in the interests of all parties affected, which argues for greater collaboration among the players if the full benefits of mining are to be realized.
