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 […]
Discover the Innovation of CopperConnect at IMARC
The International Mining and Resources Conference (IMARC) is where the most influential people in the mining industry come together, delivering ideas, inspiration and serving as a meeting ground for industry leaders. And John Fennell, CEO of International Copper Association Australia is excited to be speaking at the event for another year. This year’s theme focuses […]
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. There is a lot of talk about global copper supply, but its still something of a guessing game. The Bank of America says copper supply will be 15%—something […]
The Long Road To Copper
It takes an average 24.1 years to develop a copper mine from discovery to production, but lead times vary widely across the world says a new snapshot. The study by S&P Global looked at 268 mines in 23 countries—including 13 mines in the US, 29 in Canada and 30 in Australia—and placed Australia 9th with […]
Stealing The Future (And The Past)
Metal thieves have been a problem for a long time, but sky high prices now mean its a major threat given our reliance on copper for nearly everything in modern life. I’ve long been aware that thieves have targeted copper for its resale value, but what was once a relatively minor offence has lately become […]
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 […]
Finding Copper In All The Old Places
Copper may be an ageing technology for delivering broadband, but for telcos now recycling all those kilometres of cables it could be worth billions. Some are already recognising that fact of course. British engineering company TXO says they’re talking to a dozen telcos about extracting copper wires from old networks to sell on the open […]
U.S. Can’t Keep Up With Copper Demand
A new report says the USA can’t mine Copper fast enough to meet its ambitious goals to electrify the country. Produced by Michigan University and commissioned by the International Energy Forum—IEF—the snapshot looked at 120 years of global data from copper mining companies. It concluded that current U.S. policy guidelines to transition the country’s electricity […]
ICAA Joins Industry Leaders at the International Mining and Resources Conference (IMARC)
The International Copper Association Australia (ICAA) is delighted to confirm that CEO, John Fennell will be speaking at the International Mining and Resources Conference (IMARC) 2024, joining fellow industry leaders, innovators, and policymakers set to explore how the mining sector can expedite its journey towards net zero. With organisations worldwide committing to net zero targets […]
Are Our Utilities EV Ready?
A new report out of the US asks if electrical grids can handle the predicted surge in electric cars. In fact it’s a question that hangs over the shift to a greener economy overall and with no easy—or cheap—answers. Certainly electrical vehicles will be a challenge. Global EV sales volumes are forecast to more than […]
