Golden opportunity: read the new issue of MINE Australia!
In the April 2025 issue of MINE Australia, we look at industry progress on decarbonisation through both renewables implementation and electrification initiatives. The mining sector's transition to renewable energy faces several structural and operational hurdles. Yet with its abundance of sun and wind resources, Australia is well positioned to lead the way. At the St Ives mine in Western Australia (WA), Gold Fields is implementing its largest renewables project to date, aiming to generate 73% of the mine's electricity from a combination of wind and solar energy by 2026. We ask whether this project could be a blueprint for future decarbonisation efforts and what more could be done to support such initiatives in Australia. We also delve deeper into Australia's progress with mine site electrification and explore the country's ambition to bolster its green metals industry. Plus, we look at the energy-intensive comminution process and how AI is supporting more sustainable crushing and grinding operations. Elsewhere, we examine how WA is looking to enhance its capabilities in automation and robotics with a new government-funded test facility. We also speak to Geoscience Australia about a project to map the nation's critical mineral resources and report from the PDAC 2025 convention on the use of new technologies in minerals exploration.

In the May issue of MINE Australia, we look at the uranium mining outlook in the country. With uranium subject to a myriad of state-based policy and legislation, we ask whether bans in certain regions could be overturned amid growing demand pressure. We also explore efforts to decarbonise Australia's aluminium sector, examine the growing role of autonomous technologies in mining, and delve into the latest enhancements in fleet management technology.

Indonesian nickel: new issue of MINE live now!
In the April 2025 issue of MINE magazine, we look at Indonesia's nickel mining landscape, explore how critical minerals supply chains are impacting the defence sector and examine some of the tech trends shaping exploration drilling. Indonesia's nickel industry has seen 'dramatic growth' over recent years, with its global share of mined nickel production rising from 16% in 2017 to around 50% in 2023 – but this growth did not come without challenges. We look at what is next for the nation, from decreasing quotas to raising royalties. Elsewhere in commodities, we examine the minerals requirements for defence applications and delve into the US' actions to shore up its domestic reserves. GlobalData also provides insight into the US-Ukraine critical minerals deal. Turning to technology, we review some of the challenges miners face in powering operations in extreme climates, sharing some practical tips and actions to address and adapt to complications. We also explore whether autonomous drilling technology – already established in production – is shaping minerals exploration. Plus, we look ahead to bauma 2025 and the equipment innovations that will be on display in Germany from 7–13 April. This year's event has a specific focus on exploring the challenges facing the global mining industry and will showcase some of the 'innovative solutions [that] will be used to make mining even more efficient, safe and sustainable in the future'. Overall, bauma 2025 is expected to welcome some 3,500 exhibitors from 57 countries, with the mining exhibition featuring more than 200 companies that offer machinery or solutions for minerals extraction and processing, and raw materials handling. Head over to MINE to read all this and more. You can also sign up to receive the April issue of MINE Australia, which will feature articles on electrification, renewable power for mines, an interview with Australia's critical minerals association, and much more.

Tailings management: new issue out now!
Over the past few years there has been a concerted industry effort to drive the responsible management of mine tailings. In January, the independent Global Tailings Management Institute was launched with a mission to promote the adoption and implementation of the Global Industry Standard on Tailings Management (GISTM), launched five years ago. Already many mining companies are well on their way to adopting the voluntary GISTM and its 15 principles. In the March issue of MINE we speak to industry players to find out what GISTM has already achieved, and the efforts that are still needed to address the changing environment. Additionally, we look at how AI is supporting tailings monitoring and management, including by potentially reducing mining waste streams. We also explore the scope for using AI robots to build a workforce and what development could mean for the mining sector. In commodities, we examine the global outlook for cobalt mining, as well as projections for the lithium market to 2030. Also, following record coal production and demand in 2024, we look at the future of coal in key regions such as China and the US, where demand did not fall as sharply as expected. You can read the March issue of MINE at: March will also see the Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada (PDAC) welcome more than 1,100 exhibitors, hundreds of expert presenters and panelists, and thousands of industry representatives to Toronto for its 93rd annual convention: PDAC 2025. You can check out what to expect at PDAC 2025 in our event preview. Mining Technology is in attendance at PDAC 2025, with our editor, Caroline Peachey, on the the ground. Contact us (energyeditorial@ to arrange a meeting or an interview. We hope to see you there!
