Efficiency
Kaiser Reef’s Managing Director Jonathan Downes took to the stage at the RIU Sydney Resources Round-up in May with a confident message: the company has transformed into a multi-asset, cash-generative gold producer – and it’s just getting started.
The increasing adoption of underhand stoping supported by cemented paste backfill (CPB) is offering mining operations both productivity gains and geotechnical stability—but not without cost.
A pre-feasibility study expected within weeks is poised to confirm the scale, low-cost profile, and near-term development potential of a Western Australian gold project with a consolidated landholding in one of the world’s most productive gold provinces.
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.
While many Western critical minerals hopefuls scramble to decouple from China, Firebird Metals is doing the opposite — and for good reason.
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.
As the mining industry pushes deeper and demands faster, safer, and more cost-efficient development methods, tunnel boring machines (TBMs) are emerging as a compelling alternative to traditional drill and blast (D&B) techniques.
As mining operations around the world grapple with rising energy costs, water-intensive processes, and decarbonisation pressures, a relatively simple but underused technology is quietly gaining momentum.
As ESG performance becomes a core determinant of value in mining, a quiet revolution is underway in mine planning.
A gold developer in Western Australia is pushing ahead with a technically robust, multi-hub production strategy, leveraging its in-house underground mining capability, modular infrastructure design, and aggressive drilling to transform a fragmented portfolio into a scalable mid-tier platform.
