Haultrax is integrating its on-site operational coaching directly into its Fleet Management System with the launch of HX Coach at IMARC 2026. The module is designed to embed real-time operator guidance and training logic into haulage fleet dispatch, moving beyond traditional FMS reporting towards in-cab behavioural feedback and decision support. For mine operators, this signals a shift from separate coaching programmes to a software-native approach that can systematically influence truck and shovel performance at scale.

Glencore Technology is marking 30 years of the IsaMill fine grinding mill, first developed by Mount Isa Mines and NETZSCH to tackle complex, ultra-fine regrind duties in base metal circuits. The horizontal, high-intensity stirred mill has since been deployed in more than 130 installations globally, often replacing ball mills in the sub-20 µm range to cut specific energy consumption and increase throughput. Recent IsaMill developments focus on larger M-series units, improved ceramic media wear performance and integration with modern flotation and coarse particle recovery flowsheets.

AusIMM’s fifth Australian Mining Week has opened in London, bringing together senior figures from global mining houses, investment banks, governments and technical advisory firms to promote Australia’s resources capability. The AusIMM-led programme positions Australian expertise in areas such as bulk commodities, critical minerals and ESG-focused project development in front of UK and European capital markets. For engineers and operators, the event signals continued international appetite for Australian-led project design, due diligence and operational benchmarking across both brownfield and greenfield assets.
