TIANJIN, Sept. 12 (Xinhua) -- Autonomous mining trucks haul ore back and forth, intelligent systems crunch data in real time, and mineral processing equipment hums along efficiently.
At the 2026 China Mining Conference and Exhibition in north China's Tianjin Municipality, held from Thursday through Saturday, green technologies, intelligent equipment and smart mining solutions took center stage.
The products on display showed how Chinese solutions are increasingly woven into the global mining industry's green transition.
At the Xinhai Mining booth, a sand-table model shows a green mine in operation. On the central control screen, data such as ore hoisting volume, equipment load, tailings pond levels and personnel locations update in real time.
"Staff can monitor and control the mineral processing plant remotely from a computer screen," said Zhang Yunlong, chairman of Shandong Xinhai Mining Group Co., Ltd.
The company's whole-process smart mining solution has served more than 100 countries and regions. Zhang cited a gold mine project in Zimbabwe with a daily processing capacity of 500 tonnes, where an on-site clean energy supply system covering 100,000 square meters has been built, cutting costs by about 75 percent compared with diesel power generation.
