Red Hill Minerals has started a 1700m, two-hole diamond drilling program at its 860km² Broken Hill project in New South Wales, targeting the Furiosa copper–gold system and the Dementus lead–zinc–silver lode within the Curnamona joint venture. The campaign includes a 700m diamond hole into the previously untested Furiosa target, designed to intersect a modelled conductive body interpreted from geophysics. Results will clarify the geometry and grade potential of both mineral systems, guiding follow-up drilling and resource definition in a district already known for high-grade Broken Hill–type deposits.

Lincom Group has opened a dedicated Tasmanian branch at Brighton, north of Hobart, to support the state’s established hard-rock quarries and mineral processing plants with on-island parts, service and technical backup. The facility stocks mobile crushing and screening equipment from Powerscreen and Terex Washing Systems, plus conveyor and wear components, reducing freight lead times from mainland depots. For mine and quarry operators, local workshop capacity and field service teams should cut downtime on critical crushing circuits and allow faster response to unplanned failures.

Fenner Conveyors has partnered with Tyrecycle on a port-first conveyor belt recycling initiative at Gladstone Ports Corporation, where 65 conveyor systems totalling more than 48km of belt length previously went to landfill after decommissioning. The programme will process decommissioned belts into recovered rubber and steel for reuse in products such as civil construction materials and tyre-derived fuels, rather than stockpiling or burial. For mine and port operators, the model offers a practical route to manage high-tension, steel-cord and fabric belts at end-of-life under tightening waste and ESG requirements.
