EcoPower Mate introduces a modular temporary power system for remote mines, targeting exploration camps, mobile offices, communications nodes and construction facilities that currently rely on diesel gensets. Designed for locations with shifting footprints and variable loads, the units can be redeployed as drilling pads, laydown areas or satellite camps move, reducing the need to oversize fixed generator banks. For mine planners and project engineers, the approach supports more flexible power layouts and staged infrastructure without committing to early grid extensions.

Sedgman has secured the Front-End Engineering and Design contract for the lithium concentrator plant at Savannah Resources’ Barroso lithium project in northern Portugal, following its earlier work on the process flowsheet and Definitive Feasibility Study plant design. The FEED scope will refine equipment selection, layout and mass–energy balances for the hard-rock spodumene concentrator, de-risking capital estimates ahead of a final investment decision. For geotechnical and civil teams, the move signals progression towards detailed earthworks, foundations and tailings/waste infrastructure design on what is billed as mainland Europe’s largest lithium project.

Select Plant Australia is supporting Western Australian mining projects by combining heavy-lift engineering, fleet hire and long-distance logistics to move and maintain cranes, access equipment and modular plant across remote sites. The company is coordinating transport of large assets over hundreds of kilometres on mine and public roads, managing mobilisation windows around shutdowns and production schedules. For operators, the key gains are reduced downtime on critical lifts, better utilisation of high-value assets in isolated locations, and fewer delays from breakdowns or mis-specified equipment.
