The talk about net zero mining is everywhere these days, from individual company statements to industry wide roadmaps and government targets, but how realistic is it? Are miners still committed to getting there? Well I was pleased to see a new global survey saying they are. The Global Leadership Survey 2024 by Mining Journal Intelligence […]
Everything’s Coming Up Copper
A 37 storey tower clad in distinctive copper rings in Brisbane and Australia’s new embassy in Washington DC covered in a series of folded copper ‘rainscreen’ panels are the world’s latest architectural icons. The $600M high rise in Brisbane’s North Quarter—designed by Hassell, REX, and Richards and Spence—glitters on the city’s skyline given the skin […]
Copper Boost To Radiotherapy Success
Copper ‘nanocapsules’ could help cancer patients undergoing radiotherapy to better cope with treatment & improve their outcomes says a new China study. Patients with cancer who need to have secondary radiotherapy treatments often face both an acquired radiation resistance in tumour cells plus a weakened physical condition, making re-irradiation a significant clinical challenge. This is […]
Resourceful Australia?
A new report from the Minerals Council of Australia is timely, given its argument that mining investment will continue to play a vital role in the country’s future, but only if managed properly. The study—Minerals-plus:An investment strategy for a resource intensive future—covers a lot of ground but argues there’s been a “seven-year stagnation in mining […]
Copper’s AI Edge?
The world may still be figuring out how important Artificial Intelligence will ultimately be, but it’s already a big deal for copper according to BHP. The world’s biggest miner has just said they see Artificial Intelligence—or AI—boosting demand for the red metal by as much as 72% in the coming decades. AI data centres will, […]

Can South Australia Be World Copper Leader?
News that BHP is boosting copper production in South Australia (SA) is a big story, but does it also mean one of Australia’s smaller states can be a world number one when it comes to copper? Certainly that’s how the South Australia Chamber of Mines & Energy—SACOME—saw it, saying it welcomes BHP’s “staged approach to […]
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 […]

Is Copper Collaboration On The Books?
The growing shortage of copper is already triggering big shifts in the industry, but one of the biggest could be direct tie ups between mines & manufacturers.
