Weld. Power. Cut. Heat.

Weld. Power. Cut. Heat. Australian mining’s ultimate all-in-one welding powerhouse Vast distances, harsh environmental conditions, high stakes – these are just some of the challenges faced by Australian mining professionals every day. In remote mining sites, equipment failures demand rapid, reliable solutions – yet with limited access to stable power sources and support facilities, even basic repairs can become complex and costly. This highlights the need for versatile, self-sufficient equipment that can withstand Australia’s rugged terrain and keep mining operations running smoothly. And it’s in response to these requirements...

Northern Star doubles profit

Northern Star doubles profit

Northern Star doubles profit Northern Star Resources (ASX: NST) reports a record-breaking FY25 marked by high gold prices, steady production and the acquisition of De Grey Mining’s (ASX: DEG) Hemi development project.

Gold has surged multiple times throughout the year, thanks in part to global uncertainty around aggressive tariffs driving investment into the industry. Northern Star has reported $6.4b in revenue, up 30% from FY24’s $4.9b, as well as an underlying net profit of over $1.4b after tax, which has more than doubled from last year....

Latitude66 set to drill high-potential gold targets at Edjudina

Latitude66 set to drill high-potential gold targets at Edjudina Latitude 66 (ASX: LAT) has announced the planned commencement of a drilling program at its Edjudina Project, located in the Laverton region of WA. The planned drilling program will commence in March this year and consists of up to 9,000m of aircore and potentially follow up reverse circulation drilling to test multiple significant gold-in-soil surface anomalies. This follows from previous exploration works completed across the project area, which have shown substantial potential given their scale and proximity to known mineral occurrences and infrastructure. Latitude66 has also signed a drill for equity agreement with Raglan Drilling, allowing the company to complete up to 9,000m of drilling, with 25% of the cost payable...

Artemis believes Titan is not a sole occurrence but is instead part of a larger gold mineralised system.

Not only did the ground team identify and trace several large-scale vein trends, but it also successfully identified a vein zone with abundant coarse visible gold at Titan. Rock chip...

Calls for FIFO suicide inquiry

Calls for FIFO suicide inquiry

THE WA Opposition Leader has introduced a motion to Parliament calling for an urgent inquiry into suicides among FIFO workers following a spate of recent deaths in the industry. WA Labor leader Mark McGowan’s motion called on the Parliament’s Education and Health Standing Committee to look into reasons behind the high suicide rate in the FIFO workforce and to recommend initiatives industry and government could take to reduce its prevalence. The push for the inquest came weeks after a worker took his own life on Barrow Island and just over a month after a man was found dead in his room in South Hedland in another suspected suicide. Four FIFO suicides last year were referred to State Coroner Ros Fogliani...

NMG strikes gold at Crown Prince Project

NMG strikes gold at Crown Prince Project

NMG strikes gold at Crown Prince Project New Murchison Gold (ASX: NMG) has reported the discovery of visible gold in diamond drill core at the Crown Prince Gold Project, part of its Garden Gully Gold Project near Meekatharra, WA. This marks the deepest recorded gold find in the project's south-eastern zone, suggesting the deposit could extend further underground. The discovery was made in diamond drill hole NGGRCDD974, which intersected a quartz-carbonate vein containing visible native gold at 252m down hole, within a 16m-wide sheared zone. Early visual analysis suggests there is strong potential for more gold deeper in the system, with assay results expected in two to three weeks. Further drilling is underway to explore beyond the current known resource...
