IMARC 2022 Tackles Sector’s Gender Divide
Closing the gender gap in mining is not only a matter of equity, it also makes business sense, according to five Australian experts who will be addressing the International Mining and Resources Conference (IMARC) in Sydney in November. As a whole, the mining industry is trying to address the under-representation of women in mining. Statistics […]
Farewell to Sandfire’s Karl Simich
I recently learned that Karl Simich, Sandfire’s CEO & Managing Director, was stepping down after, as he put it, “15 incredible years”. He’s right. Karl has been at the helm of what has proved to be a great copper company and a member of the International Copper Association Australia nearly from the start of his […]
Australian Mining Upbeat Despite Global Challenges
Australian mining meets global investment, sustainability, supply chain and geopolitical issues as part of this year’s International Mining & Resources Conference—IMARC—in Sydney in November. IMARC is Australia’s largest mining event with over 7,500 decision makers, mining leaders, policy makers, investors, commodity buyers, technical experts, innovators, and educators from more than 100 countries for three days […]
OZ Minerals Greenlights New Copper-Nickel Project
OZ Minerals is to develop its fourth mine, the West Musgrave copper-nickel Project in Western Australia, at a cost of $1.7B. The new project is to be one of the largest fully off-grid, hybrid renewable powered mines in the world with an initial 80% renewable penetration drawn from wind and solar generation. Developed with agreement […]
Tackling Copper ‘Material Movement’ On Road To Zero
A new Australian technology roadmap outlines how copper producers can embrace innovation to reduce greenhouse gas emissions at mines. The Material Movement study warns mine waste operating systems are under pressure. Rising copper demand—growing by 2.1% a year till 2027—plus declining ore grades at many mine sites are pushing material volumes higher globally. Boosting the […]

One of our members, OZ Minerals, has just launched “Open House” to boost the development of modern mining through innovation and technology adoption. “The Think & Act Differently (TAD) team have launched the TAD Open House to provide an easy, online way for innovators and innovative companies to approach OZ Minerals with ideas and technologies […]
Exploring Waste To Value
Four teams experimenting with extracting value from waste have joined the OZ Minerals’ Think & Act Differently (TAD) incubator aiming to reimagine mining and processing. The Waste to Value Challenge, invited innovators from around the world to propose an approach that reimagines mining and processing to minimise, eliminate and find value in waste. Oz Minerals […]
Copper Makes Its Mark
I was pleased to see that two major Chile miners are the latest companies to join the global Copper Mark assurance framework to promote responsible mining. Mantos Blancos and Mantoverde, both owned by Toronto-listed Capstone Copper, have joined a growing list of miners globally to commit to the assessment process. In fact when I last […]
Australia’s Race To Find Future Copper
Australia is on the front line to find more copper to supercharge the world’s green economy, but the search for viable deposits won’t be easy. And won’t happen without more support. The S&P report I highlighted in my last blog raised the alarm on a looming world shortage of copper that could “short circuit” global […]
Will There Be Enough Copper By 2035?
A new snapshot by S&P Global predicts huge demand for copper but warns supply challenges could mean the world won’t be able to meet it. And that could seriously undermine the race toward a net zero future by 2050 the report’s authors suggest. We’ve been hearing these sorts of warnings for a while now, so […]
Oz Minerals Challenge Spurs Innovation
We’ve been a part of Oz Minerals Extraction Challenge for a while, so to see the seven groundbreaking new technologies outlined in their latest white paper is great news. Launched in February 2021, the Challenge explored ideas to disrupt traditional leach and electrowinning processes—and move towards lower impact on-site metals production as a result. It’s […]
