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 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 […]
South Australia’s 2nd Copper Coming
BHP Group has unearthed a major new copper find in South Australia and that could put the state on a path to a “copper renaissance”. BHP has revealed a large iron oxide copper gold (IOCG) deposit on the Stuart Shelf, 65 kilometres southeast of Olympic Dam-already the world’s third largest copper equivalent deposit. In an […]
Remote Mines, City Riches?
Mines may be out of sight for most of us, but they’re having a direct impact on all our lives. Well that’s the take out from new figures showing the Queensland resources sector delivered $62.9B to the State’s economy in 2017-18. Up 14% on the previous year. Queensland Minerals Council summed it up “Brisbane is […]
Finding Copper In ‘Deep Australia’
A new ‘downward-looking telescope’ could unlock Australia’s hidden mineral wealth. The Australian Academy of Science is proposing the development of the cutting edge telescope with the ability to peer at least 300 kms beneath the Earth’s surface. The proposal is one of several in a 10-year plan for Australian Geoscience just launched by the Academy’s National […]
Copper’s “Belt & Road” Boom
BHP Billiton says China’s global infrastructure initiative “Belt & Road” will have a bigger impact on copper demand than first predicted. Often described as a 21st century “silk road, it is made up of a “belt” of overland corridors and a maritime “road” of shipping lanes. In the latest “episode” of BHP’s blog on the […]
