Mining projects face massive hurdles—costly delays, operational inefficiencies, and the struggle to turn resources into profitable operations. In this episode of Mining NOW, the largest mining podcast online, Pierre Julien (President, North America) and Vikram Jayaraman (SVP, North America) from DRA Global reveal how their unique approach goes beyond engineering to build mines that actually work. From AI-powered due diligence to real-time asset monitoring, they’re reshaping the industry.

DRA Global doesn’t only design mines—they engineer mines, build, and operate them, ensuring projects are permittable, financeable, and operable. Their secret? A relentless focus on operability and data-driven decision-making. With their Neuromine hub, they monitor 14 global mining sites in real-time, using AI to predict failures and optimize performance. Plus, their IPD contracting model aligns teams for faster, cheaper, and safer project delivery.

From cutting due diligence from weeks to minutes with AI to deploying specialized teams for seamless mine startups, DRA Global is proving that smarter processes lead to better mines. If you’re in mining or just fascinated by industry innovation, you don’t want to miss this conversation.
