How are global mining companies solving the industry’s most pressing problems—equipment customization, critical mineral processing, and distribution gaps—while expanding into new markets? In this exclusive Mining NOW panel episode, host Jerrod Downey sits down with industry leaders from Duratray International, Don Kyatt/Terrain Tamer, and Gekko Systems to unpack practical solutions and forward-thinking strategies driving the mining sector forward. This special interview was made possible by Global Victoria, who brought these international innovators together at CIM Connect to share insights on global growth, localized solutions, and mining innovation.

Marcelo Medel, Managing Director of Duratray International, reveals how Duratray’s Chilean-Australian investment model is helping them solve customer pain points in multiple regions. Georg Esterer, North American Manager at Don Kyatt/Terrain Tamer, explains how their catalog of over 60,000 parts supports mining fleets globally, and how the company is scaling operations in North America. Kenny Roberts, Principal Metallurgist and North American representative for Gekko Systems, discusses how their test plants and metallurgical innovations, including inline leach reactors and ore sorting, are optimizing flowsheets for critical mineral projects.

From equipment manufacturing to supply chain strategy and metallurgical testing, this episode delivers real-world solutions for modern mining operations. Whether you're dealing with workforce shortages, looking to expand globally, or seeking smarter mineral processing solutions, this panel brings expert insight from across the mining value chain. Watch now to explore how these companies are shaping the future of mining—on the ground and across the globe.
