SK Godelius has partnered with Australian market growth firm A.I. LAMB to deploy its field‑proven conveyor intelligence platform across Australian mine sites, targeting large overland and in‑plant conveyor systems. The solution applies advanced analytics and machine learning to real‑time conveyor data to detect anomalies, predict failures and optimise belt loading and speed, aiming to cut unplanned downtime and maintenance interventions. The move extends SK Godelius’s international automation footprint into a market with some of the world’s longest, highest‑throughput bulk materials conveyors.

Multotec will use Electra Mining Africa 2026 to show how small losses in hydrocyclone classification efficiency at the cut-point can translate into major revenue losses in mineral processing plants. The company plans to focus on the role of cyclones in grinding circuits, where misclassification sends fine particles back to the mill and allows coarse material to report to overflow, driving up energy consumption and reducing recovery. For plant engineers, the message is that cyclone performance monitoring and optimisation can deliver rapid, low-capex gains.

WA1 Resources has reported further high-grade infill drilling at the eastern zone of its Luni niobium project in Western Australia, including 7.3m at 2.9 per cent niobium pentoxide and 13m at 3.2 per cent. The results move the project closer to feasibility and strengthen the case for a standalone niobium operation with associated rare earths. For mine planners and metallurgists, the continuity of shallow, high-grade intersections supports potential for low-strip, open-pit designs and relatively simple concentrator flowsheets.
