You Can’t Live Without Mining
That may be very true, but the general public still doesn’t quite believe it. We saw that at play in Melbourne & Perth recently at international mining conferences. Climate change protesters clashed with police in both cities, with one saying “our aim is to shut down the conference”. Federal Resources Minister Matt Canavan responded by […]
Electric Mining
Companies are adding electric vehicles underground to cut carbon emissions, boost productivity & cut costs. Upgrading to all electric mine fleets-both above & underground-is increasingly operationally viable and comes with some big advantages. Despite a high upfront spend, electric mobility can quickly provide a return on investment. Operating expenses and service needs are less for […]
Upping AI At Copper Mines
As I’ve said before, mining has not been known for digital innovation. That’s changing I’m glad to say. Here in Australia the copper industry has just started a Technology Roadmap aimed at championing technologies to make mining smarter, greener, safer & more productive. But individual companies all around the world are also taking high tech […]
Data Centre Boom Spurs Copper
As technology continues to grow it relies on copper intensive Data Centres to get there. Growing demand for the seamless delivery of an increasing number of Internet of Things services is speeding a move towards large and hyperscale Data Centres. And that means a lot more copper. Demand from Data Centres and Edge Computing is […]
BHP Boosts Renewables
BHP turns to renewables to power the huge Escondida copper mine in Chile BHP is in the final stages of contracting a renewables power supply for the 1.2M tonne operation-the world’s biggest mine. The company says it expects to make significant cost savings when it replaces gas with renewable energy to provide most, if not […]
Mining The Future
We all know the future is digital but so far that hasn’t meant as much for miners. That’s about to change. A new Australian report called Staying Ahead of the Game says advanced analytics and robotics in the resources sector will add $74B to the economy by 2030 and create 80,000 new jobs. The study shows how […]
The Growing Precision Of Copper Mining
To meet growing world demand for copper, miners will have to start doing things differently, very differently, says John Fennell. It’s no secret copper is facing some big challenges. Finding more copper is number one, but extracting it in greener, smarter ways so that miners are both profitable, but also responsible citizens is the other. […]
Next Step For “Responsible Copper”
The Responsible Minerals Initiative and the International Copper Association have agreed to boost sustainable copper. The Responsible Business Alliance (RBA), on behalf of its Responsible Minerals Initiative (RMI), and the International Copper Association (ICA), have signed a memorandum of understanding to jointly advance the responsible production and trade of copper. The RMI and ICA aim […]
Can Copper Start-Up?
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,” […]
