Recent rumblings and trade tensions are making for an uncertain future of rare earths supplies.  Elusive details have emerged regarding a US-China deal to expedite rare earths shipments from China following the country’s previous clampdown on exports. But Western countries are still waiting for the green light to get their hands on the much-needed mineral. This hold-up might just stoke the already simmering trade tension between the US and China.   Once ignored, rare earths are now the golden children of the electric vehicle (EV) and wind turbine supply chains. With the escalating demand for renewable technology, both in Australia and abroad, these elements have become pivotal in the global energy transition.  This newfound attention has led to more interest in…

MTM Critical Metals (ASX: MTM) is heating up in the hunt for energy transition enabling materials, such as niobium, rare earth elements (REE) and gold.  With a primary focus on advanced metal recovery technology, MTM Critical Metals (ASX: MTM) is redefining how critical and strategic metals are recovered from complex waste and mineral feedstocks.   Strategically located in Houston, Texas, US, and Perth, WA, MTM possesses exclusive licensing rights to the innovative Flash Joule Heating (FJH) technology, a cutting-edge metal recovery and mineral processing method developed by researchers at Rice University, US.  The Australian Mining Review speaks with MTM Critical Metals managing director and chief executive Michael Walshe to uncover how the company is revolutionising mineral extraction, enhancing metal recovery from…

In a bold recalibration of the state’s energy strategy, the Queensland Government has unveiled plans to extend the operational life of its coal-fired power stations by another decade, signalling a pragmatic shift to balance energy security, affordability and environmental responsibility.   At the heart of this new direction lies the Queensland Government’s $1.4b Electricity Maintenance Guarantee and a renewed focus on keeping the lights on for millions of Queenslanders – without letting go of long-term renewable goals.   With more than 60% of the state’s electricity currently generated from coal, and the sector employing thousands across regional communities, the decision has far-reaching implications – not just for power production, but also for the political landscape, environmental commitments, and economic growth throughout the…

Norton is pursuing phased green energy investments as part of its broader carbon reduction strategy.  With gold production projected to exceed 260koz annually over the coming years, Norton’s transformation is gaining momentum.   The Australian Mining Review speaks with Norton Gold Fields chief executive…

As trade relations grow taught, mineral security is a burning concern at the top of every nation’s list.   Keep reading to see how both Australia and foreign allies are collaborating to ensure a secure future for all.   High stakes in the high summits In mid-June, nations convened amongst the mountains of Kananaskis in Canada for Group of Seven (G7) 51st summit to discuss solutions to major global issues.  Prime Minister Anthony Albanese was in attendance — amongst political leaders from Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the UK, the US and EU nations — to voice concerns about rising tensions that are jeopardising global supply chains.  The G7 emphasised the need to secure supply chains to support the global energy…

Tailings present a challenging economic opportunity  Australia needs a new approach to tailings.  The growing interest in clean energy technologies will potentially drive a four-fold increase in demand of associated mineral resources by 2040, according to the IEA.  Not only are these mineral resources scattered across the globe, but the pathway to extracting them is not always entirely economical, with some critical minerals being found in very low concentrations or as byproducts of other metal extractions.  With low-grades and byproducts comes an increase in tailings, introducing risks and constraints in meeting growing mineral demands.   The challenge, and potential new opportunities, present in tailings cannot be overlooked.   Between the years 1915 and 2021, there have been 366 documented cases of tailings…

A new CSIRO-led project suggests algae could unlock sustainable futures for mine sites, surrounding ecosystems and local communities.   With support from the Cooperative Research Centre for Transformations in Mining Economies (CRC TiME), the CSIRO-led research team in collaboration with The University of Queensland and Murdoch University, has found notable benefits in using algae-based technologies to help mitigate the environmental impacts of mining during operations and after closure.  With 240 mines in Australia projected to close by 2040, algae could be key in managing site water quality, improving mine closure outcomes and creating business opportunities.  Global algae markets were valued at about $2.9b – $8b (US$1.9b – 5.3b) in 2023, with a rapidly increasing annual growth of about 5 –…
