Australia’s mining sector could be overlooking a low-risk, high-reward tailings management method that’s been delivering stability and efficiency in other parts of the world for decades.
The Western Australian Government has introduced a new authorisation pathway for low-impact exploration and prospecting, with tenement holders now able to lodge an Eligible Mining Activity (EMA) notice under the Mining Act 1978.
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.
