Skillings Mining Review February 2023: our cover guide shows aspiring founders how to start a mining company—from target selection and tenure to funding, permitting, ESG, and mine-to-market execution.
We pair that with the tools that raise odds of success: data analysis for discovery and planning, highwall assessment for safer pits, and supply-chain innovations that move tons reliably (even as Great Lakes winter slows shipping). We map employment & wages, global engineer job openings, and how IT graduates can pivot into mining.
Market context includes the 2023 iron-ore update, Russian reserves, and Australia’s next phase—plus trends shaping the U.S. rare minerals landscape. Rounding it out: health & safety best practices, HR role maps, and an explainer on mining’s everyday relevance—from smartphones to EVs. The through-line: build operations that are safe, data-driven, bankable, and talent-ready.
