HexagonMa'aden Digital Mine

As the global demand for precious metals intensifies, the pressure to extract resources more responsibly and efficiently is growing. In Saudi Arabia, Ma’aden is leading that charge — and reshaping the future of mining in the process.

In partnership with Hexagon, Ma’aden has launched the world’s first fully digital gold mine: a site where AI, automation, and intelligent data systems work in tandem to minimise downtime, enhance safety, and optimise every stage of the extraction process.

Palladian was commissioned to create a film capturing this quiet revolution in mining. From blast monitoring software to autonomous fleet controls and driver fatigue systems, the film explores the technology transforming the industry — and the incredible people driving it forward.
