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. 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....

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...

Companies looking at green hydrogen or steel projects in regional Australia will have access to a free online tool to speed investment decisions.

Mapping Australia’s renewable energy, green hydrogen, iron and steel potential

Mapping Australia’s renewable energy, green hydrogen, iron and steel potential The Federal Government has included green hydrogen, iron and steel in its free award-winning Economic Fairways Mapper that helps to rapidly identify economic potential for resources projects. Developed as part of the Exploring for the Future program, the Mapper identifies potential investment hurdles, technical challenges and knowledge gaps, regional availability of renewable energy and how its performance influences iron and steelmaking costs across Australia. By analysing large volumes of renewable energy data to model the costs of steel production and how these vary spatially, the Mapper can provide valuable insight into the economics of building a green steel industry in different regions of Australia. Federal Resources and Northern Australia Minister...

Win-win for Rockhampton and Townsville

Win-win for Rockhampton and Townsville

Utilising both cities as FIFO hubs would minimise unforeseen travel risks and downtime. Image: Queensland Airports. BY CAMERON DRUMMOND A TWO horse race has ended in a dead heat, with both Rockhampton and Townsville to become FIFO hubs for Adani’s $16.5 billion Carmichael coal development. The cities both put in strong individual business cases, and Adani decided to utilise twin marshalling points for the massive mine, rail and port project. Adani Australia chief executive Jeyakumar Janakaraj said the first order of business would be the construction of an airstrip close to the mine to deliver construction workers from Townsville and Rockhampton. “Then we can start construction of the Carmichael thermal coal mine and the western sections of the...
