Copper miner PanAust responded quickly to the pandemic to “ensure the safety of its workforce and local communities and safeguard the future of the business.” At the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, PanAust and its subsidiary companies responded quickly to implement strict safety measures. The measures were guided by direction from the Company’s shareholder, Guangdong […]
Pandemic Speeds Mining Re-Think
I was struck recently by an article in the Australian Fin Review talking about the future of mining in light of a potential pandemic re-set. Written by Accenture’s David Burns, who heads the company’s natural resources practice globally, it says the shock of Covid’s impact on mining operations is “accelerating its digital transformation”. He says […]
6,500-Year-Old Copper Workshop Discovered
Israel has unearthed a workshop for smelting copper ore that once operated in the Neveh Noy neighborhood of Beer Sheva, the capital of the Negev Desert. Tel Aviv University and Israel Antiquities Authority which are jointly conducting the study believe copper-producing technology was a closely guarded secret. The new study, which began in 2017, […]
“Copper Mark” Tipping Point?
The copper industry’s ‘responsibly produced copper’ program “Copper Mark” has already signed up a number of miners, but now also has major partners in Google, Ford and Wieland. Copper Mark Partners are organisations in the copper value chain that use or rely on copper in their business and who make a public commitment to the […]
Freeport-McMoRan Commits To “Copper Mark”
American copper major Freeport-McMoRan has announced its commitment to the ‘Copper Mark’, a global standard to ensure responsible production and trading of copper. The company has started the process for six of its operating sites and has future plans to validate all its operating sites against the Copper Mark requirements. Copper Mark is the first […]
Australian Copper Set To Soar
Resources market analysts Fitch Solutions have just published research predicting a rosy future for Australia’s copper miners. The gold ones will do well too they say. They put this down to to their low costs of production, high-grades and good government regulations over the next decade. They also expect five years of growth for copper […]
First Miner Gets Responsible ‘Copper Mark’
Rio Tinto’s Kennecott site in the US is the first producer to be awarded the Copper Mark, the copper industry’s new independently assessed responsible production program. The Kennecott operation in Utah has demonstrated it meets over 30 criteria for responsible environmental, social and governance practices. The Copper Mark is the first and only program for […]
Ocean Ready Copper
Adding nickel to copper is the world’s most commonly used ‘alloy’ and it’s found a crucial role in protecting boats and other ocean assets. An alloy with 90% copper and 10% nickel—also known as cupron-ickel—is not only strong and malleable, but resists corrosion. Alloys with 30% nickel content or those more highly alloyed with aluminum, […]
New Copper Potential In Australia
Mining giant Rio Tinto has made a promising discovery two kilometres east of the Winu copper-gold deposit in Western Australia to help boost new supplies of the red metal. While the world’s number two miner will keep drilling and geophysical testing at the site, new figures suggest an inferred mineral resource of 503M tonnes of […]
Global Copper Use To Hit 30M Tonnes Next Year
There’s a lot of predictions about rising copper use I’m glad to say. The latest Copper data sets on the www.copperalliance.org site suggest that in 2019 copper demand had hit 29M tonnes of which 5.7M tonnes was recycled scrap. And a new global copper study (https://www.reportlinker.com/p0459175/Global-Copper-Industry.html?utm_source=GNW) says world use will rise by roughly 3M metric […]
World Urgently Needs Copper Discoveries
A new report says the last decade has been dismal for new copper discoveries, with under 1M tonnes found since 2015. Only 16 significant copper deposits have been discovered globally in the past decade and just one since 2015 says S&P Global Market Intelligence. The 16 deposits contain a paltry 8%, or 81.3 million tonnes, […]
Making Copper Mines Emission Free
A world first study Zero Emission Copper Mine of the Future lays out how Australian copper mining can be greener, cleaner & smarter using emerging technologies. The Zero Emission Copper Mine of the Future by University of Sydney’s Warren Centre for Advanced Engineering sets out how Australian copper mining can become emission free over the […]
