Case Studies
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.
In the race to squeeze more value from every tonne of ore, the mining sector is increasingly looking to data-rich, high-resolution technologies that can keep pace with operational demands.
In the high-stakes world of Australian mining, where downtime can cost millions and conditions test even the toughest machinery, one company is redefining how mine sites manage water and turn dewatering from a necessary burden into a strategic advantage.
Mobile crushing and screening is undergoing a radical shift.
In an era of advanced underground automation and high-tech dust suppression systems, one of the most effective solutions for a pervasive mining problem—stope dust—has emerged not from a manufacturer, but from a loader operator’s workshop.
What if the smartest way to power your remote mine site was silent, clean, low-maintenance - and already outsmarting diesel and solar in the field? For Chelsea Kovacs, business development manager at SFC Energy Canada, the answer lies in compact, intelligent fuel cell technology - specifically, direct methanol fuel cells that operate quietly, efficiently, and with minimal emissions.
As mineral explorers delve deeper into complex regolith terrains and undercover targets, the need for geochemical techniques that offer both precision and sensitivity has never been greater.
For Superintendent of Mine Planning Anne-Marie Ebbels, the expansion of BHP’s Prominent Hill operation isn’t just a technical upgrade—it’s a strategic shift in how the mine approaches longevity, productivity and sustainability.
A convergence monitoring revolution is underway in Tasmania.
At this year’s AusIMM Mineral Resource Estimation Conference (MREC2025) in Perth, one presentation stood out not just for its rigour, but for its challenge to long-standing assumptions in resource modelling.
