There is a global movement in the mineral industry toward greater transparency. Companies are increasingly demanding the right to know where their minerals come from and under what conditions they were produced.
Until now, efforts to track materials and improve conditions for mining communities have had limited results. Now an emerging technology, blockchain, has arrived on the scene and promises to make a difference.
In this session, we will explore blockchain technology, how it works, what makes it unique, and how it can be used to provide traceability and assurance to the mineral industry. We will look at different ways the technology can be applied as well as some of the limitations and challenges that are yet to be solved.
