Operations in mining and metals can take place in some of the most challenging and unpredictable environments in the world.

Use of geothermal energy to power an entire facility is one way in which Hatch is enabling new technologies for lithium recovery. It also demonstrates that it is possible to have the best of both worlds: green energy being used to harvest lithium, the very mineral needed to create one of the basic building blocks for storing electrical energy.

Most big capital projects fail to get the results they promise. But if you take a few precautions and step in quickly with the right solution at the right time, it doesn't have to be that way.

Expanding a government-owned nuclear power plant. Getting the right permits to build a new diamond mine. Redesigning busy train crossings. All benefit from expert knowledge about how to work effectively with government.

If the mining sector’s focus on diversity has done anything, it’s proven that gender should never determine who gets what job or pursues what kind of career.

Long-term service agreements can be lifelines for owners of gas turbine and combined-cycle power plants. But be sure you know what these complex contracts can and cannot do.

Smartphones. Electric cars. Information technology of every kind. Mined materials are no longer the basic building blocks of just buildings, infrastructure, and tools.

It's fascinating to watch the lithium story unfold. In the space of a few decades, it's become a cornerstone for addressing one of the world’s most universal and serious problems.

Corporations and governments used to believe that money was all the motivation people needed to leave their homes and communities and turn the area over to a development project. Today, mining companies know they need the wisdom of a “social performance team,” people with the knowledge and skills to properly and respectfully engage with the affected community.

It’s time to transform our transit systems into future-oriented assets. Light rail transit has many sustainable benefits, and we're just starting to figure out the enormous developmental pluses that can be derived from proper planning and implementation.
