Unlocking up to 70 per cent faster mine planning cycles and millions in additional project value is now within reach for operations that combine centralised data systems, virtual twins and advanced optimisation engines.
What do Formula 1 racing and tailings storage have in common? More than you’d think - especially when AI joins the engineering crew.
Sensor-based sorting is no longer just a niche preconcentration step - it’s fast becoming a critical pillar of intelligent gold processing.
Henry Dillon, Global Customer Success Manager - Geoscience at Maptek, used his time on stage at APCOM2025 in Perth to challenge one of the industry’s most entrenched habits - treating resource models as static snapshots.
In an industry awash with plug-and-play software and AI buzzwords, Oliver “Olly” Willetts, senior geologist and resource estimation consultant at SRK Consulting, stands out for his clear-eyed, problem-first approach to geoscientific data management.
For decades, mine planning has leaned heavily on deterministic models - tools that simplify the earth into a single version of the truth.
In a sector awash with smart tech, real-time data and emerging AI capabilities, it's easy to overlook the nuts and bolts of data management.
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.
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.
For underground mining professionals, the AusIMM Underground Operators Conference in Adelaide delivered no shortage of technical insights—but it was a keynote from one of the industry’s most accomplished leaders that left the deepest impression.
