Acquire Technology Solutions has released an integration linking Blackfox drilling management with GIM Suite, enabling direct transfer of drillhole data between the two platforms. Hole collar details and related drilling information now flow automatically rather than via manual imports, reducing transcription errors and version conflicts in exploration databases. For geologists and drill planners, this should shorten drill programme initialisation times and tighten QA/QC on collar coordinates, depths and metadata across planning, execution and geological modelling workflows.

Pilbara Ports handled a record 804.1 million tonnes of trade in the 2025–26 financial year across Ashburton, Dampier, Port Hedland and Varanus Island, passing the 800‑million‑tonne mark for the first time and retaining its status as the world’s largest bulk export port. Iron ore shipments from the Pilbara dominated volumes, confirming sustained high utilisation of deep‑water berths, shiploaders and channel capacity. The scale signals ongoing demand for high‑throughput stockyard management, dredging, and rail‑to‑port interface reliability across the network.

Ore production at the Never Never underground mine in Western Australia more than doubled to 115,000 tonnes in the June quarter, with head grade lifting to 5.95g/t as Dalgaranga completed its first full quarter supplying Ramelius Resources’ Mt Magnet processing hub. The ramp-up helped drive group gold output to 53,466oz, signalling stronger mill feed quality and higher throughput at the central plant. For mine planners and metallurgists, the combination of increased tonnage and grade at Never Never will influence stope sequencing, backfill scheduling and processing blend strategies across the Mt Magnet–Dalgaranga circuit.
