Technology Adoption
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.
In a bold shift from business-as-usual block modelling, a team of geologists has turned their attention to the part of the orebody most often ignored — waste — and what they’ve uncovered could reshape how mining operations plan for ESG risk.
In an industry where incremental improvements are the norm, a new variable-energy blasting system is delivering a true step change in underground blasting.
When MMG’s Rosebery operation in Tasmania rolled out a fatigue detection system for its underground truck fleet, it wasn’t just about plugging in hardware — it was about rewiring the mindset of a seasoned workforce.
When Laércio Bertossi took to the stage at AusIMM’s 2025 Mineral Resource Estimation Conference in Perth, he didn’t unveil a new machine learning model or simulation breakthrough.
In the remote Altai Mountains of eastern Kazakhstan, a centuries-old underground mine is undergoing a transformation.
Underground haulage is often regarded as a necessary bottleneck—an unavoidable compromise between ore delivery and operational congestion.
A coal mine worker narrowly avoided injury when a raw coal stacker boom suddenly and forcefully luffed upward during a lowering operation, according to a safety alert issued by Resources Safety & Health Queensland (RSHQ).
It’s not often that a guidance document—rather than an actual regulation—sends shockwaves through the mining sector.
The NSW Resources Regulator has released a revised Technical Reference Guide (TRG): Monitoring and Control of Worker Exposure to Airborne Dust, aimed at helping mine operators meet legal obligations and safeguard workers from inhalable hazards, including respirable crystalline silica.
