For Superintendent of Mine Planning Anne-Marie Ebbels, the expansion of BHP’s Prominent Hill operation isn’t just a technical upgrade—it’s a strategic shift in how the mine approaches longevity, productivity and sustainability.
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 the ever-evolving field of mineral exploration, the challenge of interpreting surface geochemical data in complex terrains has long limited early-stage targeting success.
When Sweden-based miner Boliden set out to futureproof its Renström underground operations for autonomous mining, it quickly ran into a persistent problem: water.
A new report from the Geological Survey of Western Australia shines a spotlight on some of Australia’s most underexplored frontiers—Neoproterozoic basins with the potential to reshape the future of clean energy and critical gases.
A quiet revolution may be underway in the metallurgical processing world, and it starts not with a new orebody, but with the way water is removed from copper concentrate.
A new generation of advanced minerals processing is quietly gaining traction in Western Australia, where a technology-focused operator is refining a modular flowsheet for producing ultra-high purity alumina — and it’s already hitting 5N grade in pilot tests.
Amid mounting global uncertainty, shifting trade policy, and resource nationalism, a clear signal has emerged from the Q1 2025 State of the Market webinar hosted by S&P Global Commodity Insights: gold has not only reclaimed its throne as a safe-haven asset but is doing so with a cleaner footprint.
Global mining major BHP has defied a volatile operating environment to post record production in both copper and iron ore for the nine months ending 31 March 2025, underscoring the resilience of its operations and the strategic momentum behind its key growth and sustainability initiatives.
In a compelling keynote that set the tone for AusIMM’s 2025 Mineral Resource Estimation Conference in Perth, BHP’s Head of Resource Engineering Excellence, Kerry Turnock, didn’t just speak to the room — she issued a call to arms.
