Newmont has started production use of an autonomous haul truck fleet at its Boddington gold and copper mine in Western Australia.
The miner said in a statement that it had hit a milestone in the deployment “with the first production delivered”, and produced a brief video showing the driverless trucks operating in the pit.

“It is a testament to the enthusiasm and professionalism of our team that we have achieved this first milestone safely.”
