Large-scale underground and surface equipment from Finsch Diamond Mine (Pty) Ltd near Lime Acres in South Africa’s Northern Cape is being sold through a structured asset disposal process run by Park Village Auctions as part of business rescue proceedings. The package includes a substantial mobile mining fleet, processing plant components and supporting infrastructure, with the process explicitly geared to maximising realisable value. For operators in hard-rock underground mining, the sale offers a rare opportunity to acquire compatible diamond-mine-grade assets without greenfield lead times.

Fortescue is installing an ABB power conversion system at its North Star Junction hub in the Pilbara to stabilise its emerging high‑voltage power network for large‑scale iron ore operations. The PCS will manage bidirectional power flows between grid, renewables and storage, providing fast frequency and voltage support to maintain quality supply for heavy mining loads and long overland conveyors. For engineers, the project signals growing demand for grid‑scale PCS integration in remote mines transitioning away from diesel generation.

EORA Energy has formed a joint venture with Kevin Maloney’s Tulla Group to expand from battery storage into integrated energy infrastructure development for mining and remote operations. The JV’s first reference project is the Norseman gold mine and associated camp site in Western Australia, signalling a push towards dedicated on-site power solutions for off-grid resources projects. For mine operators, this points to more tailored hybrid power and storage options for camps and processing plants in remote locations.
