The future of the battery supply chain

The 2020 AusIMM Li & Battery Conference provided new and interesting insights into the future battery metals market. Emerging themes focus on adopting sustainable processing practices, diversifying the supply chain, and process-intensive market opportunities to introduce manufacturing capabilities to capture more downstream value-adding processes.

Breaking into the battery minerals market

The emergence of new ways to collaborate with external experts is providing better opportunities for mineral processing operations to break into the battery minerals market.

Dealing with low-grade ore

Emerging technologies are improving the characterisation and sorting capabilities of plants, allowing them to divert low-grade ore from downstream processing.

Insights from 2019 World Gold Conference

To remain sustainable into the future, the Australian gold mining industry needs to engage innovators to help them address and resolve key environmental, social and governance issues.

Reducing the carbon intensity of metals production

Metal production relies strongly on carbon, and therefore reducing your carbon intensity is not simple. With growing pressure on operations to cut CO2 emissions our latest blog discusses different process changes that could reduce your carbon intensity.

Insights from AusIMM Lithium & Battery Metals Conference 2019

The AUSIMM conference 2019 provided great insight into the switch towards including downstream processing in new battery minerals processing builds. As the opportunities for new processing operations increase, so do the expectations that mining operators will create value for local communities.

Insights from TMS 2019

TMS 2019 uncovered three key challenges facing the mineral processing sector this year, and into the future. Discover how these challenges could affect your operation and how you can overcome them.

Heat transfer modelling

As high-quality ores are depleted, more metal smelters are having to smelt less desirable materials. Find out how you can optimise your smelting operations when using complex ores with CSIRO’s Heat Transfer Modelling.

Are you prepared for rising feedstock complexity?

Smelting operations are facing some major changes in order to deal with the rising complexity of feedstock materials. Understanding minor element deportment of your feedstock can reduce risk and deliver lucrative opportunities.
