The increasing adoption of underhand stoping supported by cemented paste backfill (CPB) is offering mining operations both productivity gains and geotechnical stability—but not without cost.
Western Australian gold explorer Hamelin Gold is taking a data-driven approach to cracking some of the state's most prospective but underexplored terrains, blending geoscience and tech in the hunt for multi-million-ounce deposits.
Southern Cross Gold is rapidly redefining the prospectivity of Victoria’s goldfields, with its flagship Sunday Creek project now recognised as one of the highest-grade, undeveloped gold-antimony deposits globally.
Waratah Minerals has struck a chord with the exploration community following its compelling update at the RIU Sydney Resources Round-up in early May, where managing director Peter Duerden unveiled a genuine gold-copper discovery story unfolding at the company’s Spur Project—just kilometres from one of Australia’s premier porphyry operations, Cadia Valley.
While many Western critical minerals hopefuls scramble to decouple from China, Firebird Metals is doing the opposite — and for good reason.
Petratherm Ltd has staked its claim to a potentially world-class titanium resource in South Australia's Gawler Craton, unveiling high-grade results and metallurgical promise from its Muckanippie Heavy Mineral Sands (HMS) Project.
At the RIU Sydney Resources Round-up 2025, Titan Minerals Ltd revealed a resource growth story that's hard to ignore — a gold developer with copper upside, strong institutional backing, and a serious drilling campaign underway across multiple fronts in Ecuador.
A high-grade underground tin project in Tasmania is shaping up to be one of the most technically efficient and METS-driven developments in the sector, combining smart drilling, ore sorting technology, and a 100 percent renewable power supply to redefine what "green mining" looks like in the post-carbon economy.
As the mining industry pushes deeper and demands faster, safer, and more cost-efficient development methods, tunnel boring machines (TBMs) are emerging as a compelling alternative to traditional drill and blast (D&B) techniques.
As mining operations around the world grapple with rising energy costs, water-intensive processes, and decarbonisation pressures, a relatively simple but underused technology is quietly gaining momentum.
