Episode 172 A conversation with Alastair Bovim

Alastair leads Insight Terra, a company at the forefront of developing real-time monitoring solutions for tailings storage facilities. Based in South Africa, he brings a unique perspective on the evolution of tailings management, particularly in the African mining context. He is involved with SAIMM and recently collaborated with the newly announced Global Tailings Management Institute (GTMI) in South Africa. Alastair and I discuss the future of tailings monitoring and management. Insight Terra's work in implementing cutting-edge technology for real-time monitoring of tailings facilities aligns perfectly with the technical discussions your podcast is known for. I believe your audience would be particularly interested in hearing about the practical applications of these monitoring solutions and how they're helping mining companies meet the Global Industry Standard on Tailings Management (GISTM) requirements.
