As the mining industry edges closer to a tipping point on tailings management, a panel of global experts at the 2025 Life of Mine | Mine Waste and Tailings Conference in Brisbane issued a clear message: discipline in operations, humility in design, and a more adaptive mindset will be critical to preventing the next tailings disaster.
At the AusIMM 2025 Life of Mine - Mine Waste and Tailings Conference in Brisbane, a standout panel on site characterisation dug deep into the evolving challenges - and innovations - facing tailings engineers.
Tailings engineers aren’t just designing structures - they’re safeguarding legacies.
At the AusIMM Underground Operators Conference 2025 in Adelaide, Newmont Principal Advisor, Technical Planning Systems Ismail Ozen delivered a rare blend of candour and insight as he unpacked the dramatic turnaround of stope performance at Musselwhite Mine.
As underground mining continues to push the limits of depth, temperature, and stress environments, traditional geotechnical design tools are being pushed just as hard.
At the 2025 AusIMM Underground Operators Conference in Adelaide, one of the most compelling conversations wasn’t about new technologies or production targets—it was about rethinking how safety is integrated into mine design from the ground up.
A shift in geological thinking is reshaping exploration at Ramelius Resources’ Mount Magnet Gold Camp, where the company is moving beyond traditional banded iron formation (BIF) deposits to focus on granodiorite-hosted mineralisation.
