Weir has introduced the WARMAN MCR² mill circuit pump as an evolution of its existing WARMAN mill circuit range, targeting mineral processing plants facing more complex ores, higher throughput and harsher slurry conditions. The MCR² is engineered to give operators tighter control over wear behaviour, maintenance intervals and overall asset condition in high-duty grinding circuits. For plant engineers, the new design signals further options to stabilise mill discharge pumping performance as ore hardness and variability increase.

Bellevue Gold is adding two independent non-executive directors, Debra Counsell and Tanya Rybarczyk, to its board from 23 September 2026 as part of a planned succession process for the Western Australian gold producer. Both bring more than 30 years’ experience spanning mining, resources, finance and infrastructure, signalling a stronger governance and capital markets focus as Bellevue ramps up its namesake underground operation. The appointments point to closer board scrutiny of project financing, risk management and long-term growth options in a volatile gold price environment.

Sinclair Gold has passed 20,000 metres of drilling at the Mt Henry Gold Project in Western Australia, triggering the first contingent consideration milestone under its acquisition deal with Westgold Resources. Sinclair has elected to pay Westgold $5 million in cash at this point, rather than use scrip, cancelling the associated royalty and simplifying the project’s future cost structure. The milestone confirms sustained drilling activity at Mt Henry, with implications for resource definition and mine planning in the Norseman region.
