Welcome to Creamer Media’s Resources Watch, a weekly video round-up of the events and people making and shaping the news in the mining industry.

This week:
Robots have the potential to counteract squeezed mining margins, says the CSIR.
Extortion is another silent enemy of African mining.
And, AngloGold Ashanti’s new technology safely mines ‘all gold, only gold, all the time’.

Technology has the potential to help the profit-squeezed South African mining industry to start earning better margins again, say the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research’s manager for novel mining methods Dr Jeannette McGill.

Interest in AngloGold Ashanti’s new “game-changing” technology, which safely mines “all of the gold, only the gold, all the time”, is now being shown by the company’s gold-mining and platinum-mining peers.
