Project Overviews
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.
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.
When a critical piece of underground infrastructure collapsed at Burkina Faso’s Yaramoko Mine, the clock was ticking.
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.
