Documentary Release: A Closer Look at RIINO’s Electric Rail System

We’re proud to share the official release of a new documentary short, produced in collaboration with CBS and Acumen, spotlighting behind the scenes of RIINO’s fully electric rail system and the future of decarbonized material haulage in mining.

Titled “Haulage Rail | A New Era”, this piece captures the system’s intended impact on underground and surface operations, and highlights our efforts to support efficiency, electrification, and operational optimization across the sector.

Produced with support from:

  • CBS News and Acumen, who led the filming, direction, and narrative development

  • Dynamic Structures, a key engineering collaborator throughout our system development

  • Capstone Copper, a consortium member helping to shape the path forward on mine electrification

  • Magna Mining, who generously provided access to the Levack Mine for filming purposes 

We’re grateful to everyone who took part in this production and contributed their time, knowledge, and support.

We recognize that this is just one step in a much larger journey toward electric haulage integration but it’s a meaningful one. It’s an opportunity to open the door for conversation, transparency, and industry collaboration as we continue advancing toward field deployment.

Watch the full documentary below.
