Clinton Booth fires up graphite game as next-gen thermal tech edges closer to commercial heatwave across data, defence and mining markets

In a presentation that cut through the noise at this year’s RIU Sydney Resources Round-up, Clinton Booth, CEO and managing director of Green Critical Minerals, delivered a sharp and confident pitch to investors, suppliers and technology partners: a new class of high-density graphite is poised to disrupt thermal management across global industries—and the time to get involved is now.

Kriging is cheating, the best estimate is a myth, and it's time resource modellers embraced uncertainty to do it right—and ethically

In a rousing keynote at AusIMM’s 2025 Mineral Resource Estimation Conference, Dr Clayton Deutsch—director and professor at the School of Mining Engineering, University of Alberta—challenged the audience to confront a fundamental flaw in how mineral resource estimators approach their craft.

Less clicking, more thinking: Why the future of resource estimation is probabilistic, Pythonic—and still needs a geologist’s gut

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.
