mineral exploration
Explorers operating in Australia's greenfield and undercover regions face a common challenge: how to make confident decisions when the surface reveals so little.
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.
In the ever-evolving field of mineral exploration, the challenge of interpreting surface geochemical data in complex terrains has long limited early-stage targeting success.
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.
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.
At the 2025 AusIMM Mineral Resource Estimation Conference in Perth, a standout panel of industry leaders took the stage to discuss a question at the core of the discipline: where is resource modelling heading, and how should practitioners prepare? The answers revealed a field in transition—balancing powerful new tools with enduring geological fundamentals.
By all accounts, Tania Constable didn’t just drop the mic at the WA Mining Club — she fracked the stage, dug it up, and shipped it off to China.
Australia has solidified its status as a global leader in the resources sector, emerging as the world’s largest holder of vanadium resources and a dominant force in critical minerals essential for clean energy and advanced technologies.
The latest data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) reveals a mixed landscape for mineral exploration in Australia during the December 2024 quarter.
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.
