Boss Energy will keep its 2025–26 production guidance for the Honeymoon in-situ recovery uranium project in South Australia despite a rain-hit quarter that reduced output. Heavy rainfall disrupted wellfield access and slowed resin loading from the ion-exchange columns, temporarily constraining plant throughput. Management is banking on improved dry-season access and additional production wells coming online to recover volumes, signalling confidence in the leach circuit and groundwater management strategy rather than revising guidance after a single weather-affected quarter.

Sandvik is set to launch the Ranger DX1010i top hammer surface drill rig at CONEXPO‑CON/AGG 2026, targeting high‑productivity mining and quarry bench drilling. The DX1010i builds on the Ranger DXi platform with 290°–360° revolving superstructure coverage and an integrated Sandvik rock drill, enabling fewer set‑ups and faster drilling cycles on 76–127mm holes. For mine planners and drill‑and‑blast engineers, the extended reach and automated drilling controls are aimed at tighter pattern accuracy and reduced non‑drilling time on large benches.

Kalamazoo Resources has appointed seasoned mining executive Andrew McDougall as chief executive officer to drive development of its 1.44-million-ounce gold portfolio in Western Australia and Victoria. McDougall, who previously held senior roles with mid-tier producers and project developers, is expected to focus on advancing the Castlemaine and Ashburton projects through resource growth and study de-risking. The leadership change signals a push from exploration-led value to near-term development, with implications for drilling contractors, study consultants and potential JV or farm-in partners.
