Ultra high-grade fluorite intercepts from Tivan Limited’s maiden drilling at the Sandover project in the Northern Territory show multiple drill holes returning exceptionally rich mineralisation, positioning the asset as a potentially significant fluorite source. The results come from the first systematic programme over the Sandover tenements, targeting structurally controlled fluorite-bearing zones identified in earlier surface work. For geologists and mine planners, the continuity and grade across several holes will drive follow-up drilling, resource definition and early thinking on beneficiation flowsheets for high-purity CaF₂ products.

Alligator Energy has started a bankable feasibility study (BFS) on its Samphire uranium project near Whyalla in South Australia, moving the in‑situ recovery (ISR) development closer to a final investment decision as uranium prices trade near 15‑year highs. The BFS will refine wellfield layouts, leach chemistry and processing flowsheets for the Blackbush and Plumbush deposits, building on previous ISR field trials and updated JORC resources. For geotechnical and hydrogeological teams, the work will focus on aquifer characterisation, permeability controls and containment of lixiviant within the target sandstone units.

BFCG is supplying Western Australian mines with high-specification materials handling and processing components from drill string hardware through to weighbridge systems, targeting tighter tolerances and longer service life in abrasive ore conditions. The company focuses on precision-machined parts, fit-for-purpose alloys and coatings, and accurate load measurement to reduce unplanned downtime and mis-weighing at high-throughput sites. For maintenance and reliability teams, the approach supports more predictable wear behaviour, cleaner data for production accounting, and better integration between pit equipment and fixed plant.
