The Responsible Minerals Initiative and the International Copper Association have agreed to boost sustainable copper. The Responsible Business Alliance (RBA), on behalf of its Responsible Minerals Initiative (RMI), and the International Copper Association (ICA), have signed a memorandum of understanding to jointly advance the responsible production and trade of copper. The RMI and ICA aim […]
Can Copper Start-Up?
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,” […]
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. The conference, organised by the South Australian Government will focus on themes […]
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. […]
Responsible Copper?
The International Copper Association has created the Copper Mark™ to help deliver responsible copper production. Launched in April 2019 the Copper Mark provides a platform for the assurance of responsibly produced copper and is available for mines, smelters and refineries. The Copper Mark is a voluntary program. Any copper mine, smelter or refiner is welcome […]
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 […]
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 […]
Mapping Copper Risks
New study maps risks the mining industry must overcome to unlock new copper reserves. Australian researchers have identified a matrix of risks including environmental, social or governance that could impede future copper discoveries. University of Queensland geologist Professor Rick Valenta said copper would be crucial in a renewable-powered future, but global supplies were far from […]
OZ Minerals $1B Expansion
South Australian copper miner OZ Minerals plans to spend another billion dollars on expanding its Carrapateena underground mine. The investment is designed to help the company more than double copper production from the still under construction mine from 2026. The miner said it would progress its Carrapateena Block Cave Expansion to pre-feasibility and the Carrapateena […]
OZ Minerals A$1M Explorers Challenge
OZ Minerals and energy and resources open innovation platform, Unearthed, are launching the A$1M Explorer Challenge. This unique, online crowdsourcing competition calls for geologists and data scientists from across the globe to develop ground-breaking approaches to discover new exploration targets at a site near OZ Minerals’ Prominent Hill copper- gold mine in South Australia. With […]
Teen Inventor Makes History
Macinley Butson may be young but her “copper armour’ to improve breast cancer treatment is just one of her inventions. Macinley Butson was still in school when she came up with the idea of a copper armour to help protect women undergoing cancer radiotherapy. Macinley found copper ‘scale maille’, a type of medieval armour, is […]
