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. […]
2019 International Copper Industry Summit
The recently completed Summit in Shanghai with over 300 attendees and 45 speakers represented over 80% of the copper end-use market. The 2019 International Copper Industry Summit (ICIS), co-organized by International Copper Association (ICA) and Jiangxi Copper Corporation and under the guidance of China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT), just took place in […]
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 […]
Smart Homes Boost Copper
An International Copper Association study shows copper use in smart homes will reach 1.5 million tonnes a year by 2030. Demand from smart wiring, connected gadgets, batteries, energy storage and high tech appliances is already doubling copper demand by 2021 says the study. Copper is found in smart home hubs, switches, routers, wiring and lithium- […]
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 […]
Cool Copper
The Australian copper industry has developed a new range of tubes to handle large scale refrigeration. The addition of transcritical CO2 refrigerant systems for large scale refrigeration applications, initially for freezers in retail food outlets, requires tubes of higher strength than previously available in the market. The previous range of tubes catered for pressure ratings […]
Can Copper Corrode?
Generally no-even after centuries under soil-but there are some underground situations where it can, including: abnormally aggressive soils localized and long-line-type concentration cells created by differences in soil composition the action of stray direct currents (DC) flowing in the ground faulty design and workmanship certain conditions created by alternating currents (AC) thermogaivanic effects galvanic action […]
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 […]
