One of Australia’s biggest copper-gold projects just got the go ahead. OZ Minerals says it has now received approval from the South Australian Government for the next phase of its planned $916M Carrapateena copper-gold project. The mine is expected to be a 4.25M tonnes per year copper-gold underground operation. With an estimated life of 20 years, […]
All Change On Climate
A new roadmap by the Climate Council makes a lot of sense. But in any shift on energy policy we still need to keep an eye on the bottom line. The ‘Roadmap To A Renewable Future’ sets out ways we can cut greenhouse gas pollution while continuing to embrace affordable and reliable clean energy as […]
Improving Breast Cancer Treatment
New copper mesh technology SMART Armor could help protect tissue damage during breast cancer radiation treatment. A new study just published in the Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics says copper is far better than lead in shielding patients during great cancer radiation. One in eight women will develop breast cancer in their lifetime, the […]
We Can Stop Hospitals Making You Sick
Around 165,000 Australians pick up infections in hospitals every year. That’s a disgrace. It shouldn’t be happening, but copper embedded hospital uniforms could soon make a big dent in the problem. Hospital infections are spread mostly by touch. They hit already sick people hard, killing around 7% or keeping them in hospital nearly 6 times […]

Data Driven Copper
Copper and technology is a huge topic these days, especially given its capacity to drive demand. And the boom in global data is right on message. A new study by iXConsulting points to massive growth in data centre capacity worldwide and with ‘hyperscale cloud service providers’ a big reason why. Copper has always been a […]

$2.5B for a couple of stadiums but only $1M for Copper exploration ?
The recent offer by the Queensland Government to provide $1M to support Copper exploration in Queensland is definitely a step in the right direction. Especially given the looming copper supply shortfall globally predicted by BHP in their latest corporate video (LINK). BHP see lower copper grades, a lack of any major recent copper discoveries and […]

Getting In On The Ground Floor Of Home Tech
We’re no longer in the land of hope or hype with smart homes. They’re big business and disrupting every part of the home construction market, from builders, cablers & yep, even plumbers. Sadly a lot of companies and tradies are still stuck in the past, not recognising the upheaval going on at home. A couple […]
It’s Just Cleaner With Copper
Once again hospital surfaces made from copper have been proven to have fewer germs than anything else. A new U.S. study at the Grinnell Medical Centre found far less bacteria on products made from copper or copper alloys such as grab bars, toilet flushes, IV poles, switches, keyboards, sinks and dispensers. Non copper products, even […]
NBN Goes Back To The Future
Pity the poor old copper telephone wires. Long branded old technology and disparaged at nearly every turn by the glittering promise of fibre warp speeds, it now looks like we need them more than ever. Last week the nbn announced that it will be using “G.fast” to supersize our existing copper cables to bring fibre […]
