Case Studies
Statutory officials in Queensland’s mineral mines and quarries are now required to hold a valid Practising Certificate as part of a newly implemented professional development scheme introduced by the state’s mining regulator.
A new national report released today is urging the Australian government to end the policy gridlock paralysing land use and productivity across the country, warning that ongoing conflict between mining, agriculture, and the rapidly growing renewables sector is stalling billions in investment and threatening Australia’s economic backbone.
In the drive to improve energy efficiency, recovery, and metallurgical precision, a global engineering company has released a quiet disruptor: a machine-learning-enabled sensor that’s helping mining operations monitor and optimise grind size with new levels of accuracy.
From deserts to drill pads, remote exploration teams increasingly need to make informed, high-impact decisions without waiting weeks for lab results.
In the mining world, where uptime is profit and safety is paramount, innovations that reduce risk while boosting operational efficiency are prized.
At the AusIMM 2025 Life of Mine - Mine Waste and Tailings Conference in Brisbane, a standout panel on site characterisation dug deep into the evolving challenges - and innovations - facing tailings engineers.
When mining engineer Eddy Zhang took the stage at the 2025 AusIMM Underground Operators Conference in Adelaide, he was candid about the task at hand: “Today I’ll be presenting learnings from reorientating the Ernest Henry sublevel cave.
In a sector awash with smart tech, real-time data and emerging AI capabilities, it's easy to overlook the nuts and bolts of data management.
As ore grades decline and sustainability pressures rise, mining operations are being forced to find new ways to optimise resource extraction.
At a time when mining operations are under growing pressure to optimise resource use, reduce waste, and demonstrate environmental stewardship, access to real-time data is no longer a luxury - it’s a necessity.
