Digital and Sustainable Mining Digest: First Edition August 2025

I am delighted to welcome you to the inaugural edition of the Digital and Sustainable Mining Digest of the Department of Mining Engineering and Mine Surveying at the University of Johannesburg, South Africa. This publication has been conceived as a reservoir of knowledge—capturing both our rich heritage over the past century and our collective vision for the next hundred years. Within these pages, you will discover our historical milestones, profiles of distinguished alumni, and the lecturers who are shaping knowledge and innovation within the department. You will also find thought-provoking scholarly perspectives on the future of mining, insights into health, safety, and sustainability, and highlights of our ongoing research and strategic industry collaborations. As we stand at the intersection of tradition and transformation, embracing both digitalisation and sustainable practices, this digest reflects our commitment to shaping a mining industry that is not only innovative and efficient, but also safe, responsible, and future-focused.
