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.

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. FY25 has seen several miners report record-breaking years, thanks largely to similarly remarkable gold prices. 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. The miner has also reported a record group underlying free cash flow of $536m, with shareholders seeing fully franked dividends of 30c/share. Whilst…

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.
