As critical minerals projects advance in complexity and urgency, early-stage metallurgical testing is no longer a “nice to have”—it’s a gatekeeper to technical and financial viability.
What if the smartest way to power your remote mine site was silent, clean, low-maintenance - and already outsmarting diesel and solar in the field? For Chelsea Kovacs, business development manager at SFC Energy Canada, the answer lies in compact, intelligent fuel cell technology - specifically, direct methanol fuel cells that operate quietly, efficiently, and with minimal emissions.
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.
When a critical piece of underground infrastructure collapsed at Burkina Faso’s Yaramoko Mine, the clock was ticking.
In the remote Altai Mountains of eastern Kazakhstan, a centuries-old underground mine is undergoing a transformation.
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.
When Sweden-based miner Boliden set out to futureproof its Renström underground operations for autonomous mining, it quickly ran into a persistent problem: water.
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.
