SK Godelius has partnered with Australian market growth firm A.I. LAMB to deploy its field‑proven conveyor intelligence platform across Australian mine sites, targeting large overland and in‑plant conveyor systems. The solution applies advanced analytics and machine learning to real‑time conveyor data to detect anomalies, predict failures and optimise belt loading and speed, aiming to cut unplanned downtime and maintenance interventions. The move extends SK Godelius’s international automation footprint into a market with some of the world’s longest, highest‑throughput bulk materials conveyors.

WA1 Resources has reported further high-grade infill drilling at the eastern zone of its Luni niobium project in Western Australia, including 7.3m at 2.9 per cent niobium pentoxide and 13m at 3.2 per cent. The results move the project closer to feasibility and strengthen the case for a standalone niobium operation with associated rare earths. For mine planners and metallurgists, the continuity of shallow, high-grade intersections supports potential for low-strip, open-pit designs and relatively simple concentrator flowsheets.

Aeris Resources has advanced its copper growth strategy with the acquisition of Peel Mining and the start of early construction works on the Constellation Project within its Tritton Operations in New South Wales. Initial works cover key surface infrastructure for the planned underground copper development, including access, services and site preparation tied to the existing Tritton processing plant. The moves consolidate additional copper resources into a single operating hub, with implications for mine scheduling, shared tailings and haulage infrastructure, and long-term plant utilisation.
