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.

Tivan has secured final regulatory and heritage approvals to start maiden drilling at the Walshy’s Wall target within the Sandover Fluorite Project in the Northern Territory, with a staged programme of 31 reverse circulation holes scheduled from October. Walshy’s Wall, a manganese–barite gossan discovered by Tivan geologists in October 2025, will be tested for subsurface continuity and grade using RC to penetrate the weathered profile efficiently. Early results will guide follow-up step-out drilling and resource definition across the broader fluorite–manganese system.

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.
