No they have not been covered, as mentioned in a root comment, I work at a remote mine site in the sub-arctic where 95% of energy comes from diesel. All the inuit villages and all the mines this high up generate power the same way. This could make a huge difference. That said, I'm very cognisant that the quantity of sites is limited. However, Canadian, Russian, Svalbardian, Greenlandic mining is picking up and I think these could be a key way to enable electric mining as climate change opens up these new areas of exploraiton and exploitation of mineral reserves.
