The mining industry faces challenges being innovative, a U.S. expert told the Copper To The World Conference in Adelaide today. “Developing reliable industrial technology requires a lot of time and financial investment to reduce risks and assure performance. That’s not a simple task in mining which has seen only a few major changes in extraction and processing,” […]
Seeing Copper In The Modern World
An exciting new infographic lays out how copper is fuelling electric cars and clean energy today and tomorrow.
Copper to the World
International leaders in copper mining, services and technology will gather in Adelaide in June for the ‘Copper to the World’ conference. Now in its third year, ‘Copper to the World’ has become Australia’s leading networking and knowledge-sharing platform for the global copper sector.

How Connected are we?
Last week I attended the CEDIA + Connected conference in Broadbeach , Queensland and heard from some leading industry spokesmen from Australia and overseas. It seems that TV and Entertainment are still the most important focus for families and the new generation of 4K and 8K TV’s are providing some amazing visual experiences . But […]
Copper In Wireless Electric Vehicle Charging
Wireless charging is coming, especially for electric vehicles, and copper is an essential part of the solution. A wireless charging system consists of fixed and mobile modules. In the case of leading wireless-charging technology company, WiTricity, the fixed part has a wall mounted power converter that changes normal mains electricity to the much higher frequency […]
A Roadmap To Adelaide Copper Conference
I was recently interviewed by Australian Mining magazine about the upcoming Copper To The World Conference in Adelaide on June 18. I’ve linked the article below, but I just wanted to make some main points about this important industry get together. First it makes a lot of sense to stage the conference in South Australia. […]
Copper By Design
The breathtaking uses of copper are featured by this year’s North American Copper in Architecture winners. 15 new buildings earned a spot in the latest Copper & Architecture awards (NACIA). The 2019 NACIA winner-Arizona State University’s LEED Platinum seeking building, the Biodesign Institute C-is wrapped in a screen of thousands of perforated, naturally finished copper […]
Next Gen Antibiotics Get Copper Weapon
Copper could lead the next generation of antibiotics as yet another superbug stalks the globe. We live in dangerous times as I see yet another drug resistant superbug outbreak is occurring globally. And Candida Auris could be the deadliest of all-over 90% of C. auris infections are resistant to at least one anti fungal drug, […]
Championing “Green Copper”
With copper crucial to a low carbon world the industry is moving to embrace “supply chain transparency”. Big and small brands have led the way to make clear where their products come from-so called supply chain transparency-under pressure from consumers prepared to buy more ethical and environmentally sustainable goods. Miners may have been a bit […]
What Goes Round
What ever happens to Australia’s climate goals-or even the world’s- electrification & clean energy are here to stay. In theory we’re all heading to a cleaner, greener world with lower climate gas emissions. But creating the so called circular economy-where we minimise waste & make the most of our resources-is proving challenging despite its obvious […]
Copper’s Green Agenda
There seems to be a spirit of innovation happening around copper these days. Both in terms of exploration and production. That was the theme of South Australia’s Copper To The World conference last year and I expect it’ll be much the same for the next one in June. We had some interesting projects out of […]
