In WA’s southern Goldfields, a smart, equipment-light approach is reshaping how smaller miners get into production without blowing the capex budget.
In a sector where some juniors are still chasing intercepts and headlines, Green Technology Metals (GT1) is cutting a different path—quietly advancing an integrated, low-footprint lithium supply chain in Canada’s Ontario province with the sort of engineering discipline and metallurgical pragmatism that turns geology into cash flow.
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.
They call it Orient—but there's nothing vague about the trajectory of this polymetallic system buried just inland from Atherton in North Queensland.
In a decisive move that rewrote its approach to underground ground support, Tomingley Gold Operations has phased out twin-strand cable bolts in favour of Falcon Bolts—an innovative self-drilling, mechanically anchored system developed by Jennmar Australia.
“You’re so vein, I’m so vein, we’re all so vein,” quipped Dale Sims as he opened his presentation at the AusIMM Mineral Resource Estimation Conference ‘MREC 2025’ in Perth.
At the 2025 AusIMM Mineral Resource Estimation Conference in Perth, geologist Jordan McDivitt delivered a sharp, technically grounded presentation on how machine learning and structural geology can work hand in hand to model complexity in orogenic gold systems.
Speaking with characteristic frankness at the 2025 WA Environmental Regulatory Forum, Warren Pearce , CEO of AMEC (Association of Mining and Exploration Companies), set the tone not just for the day’s discussions—but for the resource sector’s expectations of government in the months ahead.
As underground mining continues to push the limits of depth, temperature, and stress environments, traditional geotechnical design tools are being pushed just as hard.
At the 2025 AusIMM Mineral Resource Estimation Conference in Perth, AngloGold Ashanti's Chief Technology Officer, Dr Marcelo Godoy, delivered a keynote that sparked serious introspection across the resource estimation profession.
