Sustainable Practices
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.
In the high-stakes world of minerals processing, separating fine wine from snake oil isn’t just a metaphor — it’s a business imperative.
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.
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 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.
A technically nimble rare earths and uranium junior is pushing toward production-readiness with a scalable extraction strategy and dual commodity focus—designed to suit both the geopolitics of supply chain security and the day-to-day realities of mine site execution.
While battery metals took centre stage at this year’s RIU Sydney Resources Round-up, Zeotech quietly dropped what might be one of the most technically disruptive materials plays in the room.
