Glencore has begun trading on the Australian Securities Exchange under the code GLC, adding a primary ASX listing to its existing London and Johannesburg listings and formalising more than 30 years of Australian operations. The company runs coal, copper, zinc and nickel mines, plus processing and energy infrastructure across New South Wales, Queensland and the Northern Territory, and has invested tens of billions of dollars locally over that period. The ASX listing is expected to broaden its Australian institutional investor base and could influence capital allocation to local brownfield expansions and new projects.

Bulk Handling Technologies is delivering end‑to‑end lime processing plants for mine sites, integrating storage silos, metering systems and slakers to convert quicklime (calcium oxide) into controlled-density slurry. The company focuses on maintaining tight control of slurry concentration, particle size distribution and availability, using locally engineered equipment matched to site-specific throughput and water quality. For process engineers, the approach reduces scaling, unplanned downtime and reagent variability in circuits such as pH control, flotation and cyanide detox.

Conveyor Components Company is rolling out a layered conveyor safety system that combines emergency-stop pull cords, belt-tracking switches, belt-damage detectors and motion controls on long overland conveyors handling abrasive ore. The architecture links devices such as Model RS pull cords, Model BA belt-alignment switches and Model DB belt-damage detectors to provide multiple trip points instead of a single e‑stop line. For operators, this enables earlier intervention on belt drift, splice damage and stalled idlers, reducing unplanned downtime and localising shutdowns to specific conveyor sections.
