MineSense Technologies Ltd. has appointed John Slaven as Chief Executive Officer. He will lead the company through its next phase of global expansion, innovation, and industry impact as MineSense continues to scale its digital mining platform. Slaven started in the role on March 2, 2026, with a mandate tied to growth, operational execution, and broader adoption of MineSense’s technology in the mining sector.
Slaven brings more than 35 years of experience across exploration, project development, mining, and processing operations. Most recently, he served as Chief Executive Officer of Jetti, a technology-driven natural resources company. Earlier in his career, he held senior leadership roles at BHP, Alcoa Corporation, Boston Consulting Group, De Beers, and Vedanta Limited.
Why this matters: MineSense operates in a segment where mining productivity, sustainability, and critical minerals supply are becoming tightly linked, so this leadership move carries strategic weight beyond a standard CEO transition. Bringing in an executive with experience spanning mining operations, metals, consulting, and resource technology suggests MineSense is positioning for a more aggressive growth phase as miners seek solutions that improve recovery, reduce waste, and strengthen the economics of critical mineral production.
