Western Australia’s mining safety watchdog has released its June incident report, revealing a combined 338 notifiable and reportable incidents across the state’s operations, including several serious occurrences resulting in injuries and substantial corporate penalties.
As mineral explorers delve deeper into complex regolith terrains and undercover targets, the need for geochemical techniques that offer both precision and sensitivity has never been greater.
The NSW Resources Regulator has issued a safety alert following a near miss involving a front-end loader and a light vehicle in an open cut mine, highlighting the risks of operator distraction and visibility limitations in mobile plant operations.
It’s not often that a guidance document—rather than an actual regulation—sends shockwaves through the mining sector.
The NSW Resources Regulator has released a revised Technical Reference Guide (TRG): Monitoring and Control of Worker Exposure to Airborne Dust, aimed at helping mine operators meet legal obligations and safeguard workers from inhalable hazards, including respirable crystalline silica.
What if you could fast-forward a century to see whether your rehabilitated mine landform holds its shape or collapses into a network of gullies?
At a recent seminar hosted by the Office of the Queensland Mine Rehabilitation Commissioner (OQMRC), one message rang clear: erosion and landscape evolution models are no longer just academic exercises—they’re digital crystal balls for mine closure planning.
In the high-stakes world of minerals processing, separating fine wine from snake oil isn’t just a metaphor — it’s a business imperative.
In a presentation that cut through the noise at this year’s RIU Sydney Resources Round-up, Clinton Booth, CEO and managing director of Green Critical Minerals, delivered a sharp and confident pitch to investors, suppliers and technology partners: a new class of high-density graphite is poised to disrupt thermal management across global industries—and the time to get involved is now.
While many Western critical minerals hopefuls scramble to decouple from China, Firebird Metals is doing the opposite — and for good reason.
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.
