Can South Australia Be World Copper Leader?

Getting What You Want…..Or Better Still Need
The Rolling Stones made ‘you can’t always get what you want’ in the 1960’s, but the message has new impact today. Especially when you remember the Stones added ‘but you might just get what you need’. It’s a good position to take when it comes to net zero I think, especially given the high level […]
Australia’s Road To Discovery
The discovery of copper in Australia will be revolutionised through the use of Artificial Intelligence, geo-spatial data and other emerging technologies according to a new study. The Roadmap to Zero: Discovery says developing new mines is now urgent given the global reliance on copper to help electrify and decarbonise the world. The latest global research […]

Today’s Waste Is Tomorrow’s Energy
With a squeeze on supplies of copper, manufacturers of everything from cable to cars are increasingly using recycled scrap to meet the demands of the future. Recycling copper is not new of course. Copper can be recycled indefinitely without losing its value or performance. Every ton of copper that is recycled means some 200 tons […]
Space Age Copper
Two Australian companies are teaming up to use space technology & AI to speed copper discovery here, reportedly one of the world’s biggest data driven searches. That’s exciting news for all sorts of reasons. Number one it’s great to see technology being harnessed for practical, real world impact when a lot of talk about technology […]
Turning Gold Into Copper
