Despite recent advances in improving sustainability and social impact, the industry is still viewed as polluting, exclusionary and a technological laggard. While a recent survey in Canada found that support for new mining projects rose to 67% of respondents, the lack of interest in the sector among younger workers remains a concern. Consulting firm McKinsey & Co. warned that mining is not currently an aspirational industry for young technical talent to join.

The company says it is exploring site strategies, technologies and policy innovation that contribute to its approach and which it says has industry-wide relevance. Regeneration plans to fund restoration from revenue generated from minerals and renewable and nature-based products and outcomes where possible, instead of relying purely on commercial mining and milling. It also wants to use abandoned and legacy mine sites as technology incubators, and to enable innovation, new technologies should be tested and validated on mining and milling sites.

The research firm found that the mining sector was consolidating to fill a gap in supply of metals such as cobalt, nickel and lithium, which are essential for renewable power and electric vehicle production. It predicted that global electric vehicle production would exceed 30 million vehicles by 2031, meaning mining companies would have to upscale to provide the metals required to produce EV batteries and meet demand.
