Counted only where the organisation is named in the headline, so this is who the month was about rather than who got a mention.
Reported by Miningmx, Mining Review, Bizcommunity Mining, SAnews, Infrastructure News and others, and every line links back to them. If systems are the bottleneck behind any of this, that is what we build.
