According to the LEAD newspaper, Copper continued to be the state’s largest contributor in 2020 with $2.429B worth of production. “This included $1.35B […]
Unlocking Copper In Mine Waste
43 million tonnes of copper has been mined but never processed over the last decade, trapped in mine waste from Australia to America. But that might be about to change. The lost copper has been too difficult to extract using conventional mining methods, but if extracted could help overcome a looming shortage as the world […]
Mining Water Technologies
Two years ago consultancy group Wood Mackenzie predicted copper demand would keep rising, warning that water use at mines would also soar, with all the costs and problems that entails. It’s the sort of threat that is urging mines right around the world to find more sustainable, efficient ways to use water. And it’s the […]
No Digging Copper Mines?
I keep getting amazed at the innovation I’m seeing around copper these days, with a recent breakthrough boosting efforts to rethink conventional mining. A new “key-hole surgery” method to extract copper from the earth without first digging it up could be revolutionary by not being actually groundbreaking. It speaks to the power of smart partnerships […]
Striking Copper Tower For Russia
World renowned architects Foster + Partners have designed a “copper tower” in the city of Yekaterinburg for the Russian Copper Company (RCC), one of the country’s biggest copper mining companies.

The new money was announced this week by NSW Environment Minister, Matt Kean, who said he wanted to deliver a “clean industrial revolution”. The money will be spent over the next […]
Water And Copper Mining
Water is the first theme being tackled by the Zero Emission Copper Mine of the Future project and results of the ‘deep tech dive’ due mid 2021. The Technology Roadmap on the Zero Emission Copper Mine of the Future (ZECMotF) launched last year highlighted 5 emission themes—material movement, minerals processing , discovery, ventilation and water. […]
