Turner Mining Group has secured a structured capital facility of up to $150 million from Wingspire Equipment Finance to expand its mining equipment fleet and support contract operations across North America. An initial $20 million tranche has already been deployed, with further drawdowns planned as additional haul trucks, excavators and ancillary support plant are brought online. The facility gives Turner flexibility to scale yellow iron capacity quickly on new greenfield and brownfield projects without tying up balance-sheet cash, a key consideration for high‑volume overburden and quarry stripping contracts.

Perth will host the Global Resources Innovation Expo (GRX26) from 5–7 May, with high‑level delegations from Canada and Peru joining Australian mining and METS leaders. Co‑hosted by Austmine and AusIMM, the event will centre on mining equipment, technology and services, including digital mine optimisation, automation and decarbonisation technologies. Attendance by government and industry representatives from major copper and critical minerals jurisdictions signals strong interest in cross‑border collaboration on METS procurement, standards and technology transfer.

Sandvik is expanding its underground ground support portfolio with fully integrated, end-to-end resin bolting solutions that combine Sandvik drill rigs, pumpable resin systems, resin capsule injection technologies, chemical products and a unified bolt range. The package is designed so drilling, resin delivery and bolt installation operate as a single system, reducing interface issues between equipment and consumables in high-stress and seismically active headings. For geotechnical and mining engineers, the move signals tighter control over bond quality, installation consistency and cycle times in resin-anchored support.
