Project Overviews
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 worker was injured earlier this month at a shaft-sinking project near Menangle, New South Wales, after being struck by a personnel conveyance descending the kibble well in an underground winder shaft.
The 2025 South Australian State Budget has landed with all the fanfare of a damp squib for the state’s mineral exploration and mining sector.
What if resource estimation wasn’t just updated, but completely reimagined? At the AusIMM 2025 Mineral Resource Estimation Conference in Perth, two respected voices in the field—Jacqui Coombes and Paul Hodkiewicz—stepped away from PowerPoint slides and into a candid, thought-provoking dialogue that challenged the mining industry to rethink its most foundational assumptions.
At a time when the mining industry is grappling with increasingly complex ore bodies, evolving digital toolsets, and growing demand for speed and precision, one standout case study is helping reshape how we think about resource modelling.
A new report from the Geological Survey of Western Australia shines a spotlight on some of Australia’s most underexplored frontiers—Neoproterozoic basins with the potential to reshape the future of clean energy and critical gases.
At the AusIMM 2025 Mineral Resource Estimation Conference, Dr Oscar Rondon, principal geostatistician at Datamine, tackled a question that has dogged mining professionals for decades: Is estimating recoverable resources still hopeless?
The talk revisited a decades-old challenge in resource estimation, combining Rondon’s clear communication with Assibey-Bonsu’s extensive experience in the mining industry.
Ventilating one of Australia’s deepest underground builds was never going to be easy—but with ingenuity, modelling and a few oversized fans, Murray Jamieson made it work.
Godolphin Resources is sharpening its exploration focus at a time when market appetite is realigning toward precious and critical minerals.
