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.
In a corner of Western Australia traditionally known for iron ore, a quiet transformation is underway in gas.
In the scrubby sands of Western Australia’s Mid West, a quietly ambitious mining development is nearing a final government tick — and it’s shaping up to be a masterclass in low-impact, high-efficiency industrial minerals extraction.
Koba Resources (ASX:KOB) hit the RIU Sydney Resources Round-up in May with a sharp message: uranium might be out of the headlines, but in the Frome Embayment of South Australia, it’s very much alive—and Koba is drilling hard to prove it.
In a pitch that blended geology with geopolitics, American West Metals managing director Dave O’Neill delivered a standout presentation at the RIU Sydney Resources Round-up 2025, offering investors a compelling vision of what could become the world’s lowest-cost copper mine.
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.
