At this year’s AusIMM Mineral Resource Estimation Conference (MREC2025) in Perth, one presentation stood out not just for its rigour, but for its challenge to long-standing assumptions in resource modelling.
As global demand for high-purity copper climbs in step with electrification and renewable energy targets, attention is turning to the tankhouses that produce this critical metal.
In an industry where incremental improvements are the norm, a new variable-energy blasting system is delivering a true step change in underground blasting.
The NSW Resources Regulator has released its latest weekly incident summary for the period ending 30 May 2025, detailing 28 reportable incidents, including three serious events that highlight ongoing safety challenges in both underground and open cut coal mines.
At a time when the mining industry is grappling with increasingly complex ore bodies, evolving digital toolsets, and growing demand for speed and precision, one standout case study is helping reshape how we think about resource modelling.
At the AusIMM 2025 Mineral Resource Estimation Conference, Dr Oscar Rondon, principal geostatistician at Datamine, tackled a question that has dogged mining professionals for decades: Is estimating recoverable resources still hopeless?
The talk revisited a decades-old challenge in resource estimation, combining Rondon’s clear communication with Assibey-Bonsu’s extensive experience in the mining industry.
In a standout session at the AusIMM Mineral Resource Estimation Conference, six of the industry’s most experienced and outspoken minds came together for a dynamic panel discussion titled “Myth-Busting.
