India Advanced Deep-Sea Mining with Varaha-3, Harvests Vital Polymetallic Nodules | Details Inside #2YoDoINDIA #DeepSeaMining #GeologicalSurveyOfIndia #INDIA #IndianGovernment #NationalInstituteOfOceanTechnology #NIOT #PolymetallicNodules #Varaha3

Deep-sea mining is 'inevitable', the head of the International Seabed Authority (ISA), said in February. But harvesting mineral-rich nodules or crusts – and in an ecologically safe way – still poses a huge technological challenge for the 'miners' that want to try. In this in-depth feature, Munira Rajkotwalla looks at the tech behind mining underwater, in conversation with Mohamed Elerian, Kris Van Nijen of Global Sea Mineral Resources, Jon Machin of The Metals Company and Oliver Gunasekara of Impossible Metals Inc.

Norway has just authorised commercial deep-sea mining on its seabed, which is rich in rare and precious metals. This announcement has whetted the appetite of mining companies, which are developing robots and drones to collect the potato-sized rocks, located at a depth of 3,000 metres. Billions of euros are at stake in the exploitation of these so-called critical minerals, which are essential for building electric vehicle batteries and solar panels. But deep-sea mining could prove devastating for ecosystems. https://lnkd.in/dPbs8Sj4

via Mining.com.au Olympio Metals Ltd has posted ‘elevated’ total rare earth oxide (TREO) assays up to 5,011 parts per million (ppm) following an aircore (AC) drilling program at the Walloway prospect in South Australia. The company says assays, generated from AC #drilling of the first 2 carbonatite targets (W2 and W6), which share characteristics with the nearby Walloway Carbonatite, confirm the presence of rare earth element (REE) and #niobium mineralisation. #OLY reports the #REE concentrations uncovered demonstrate a ‘strong’ correlation to magnetic susceptibility, which supports a magmatic origin for the REE mineralisation intersected. Assays for a further 37 drillholes remain outstanding and are expected in the next few weeks. Learn more: https://loom.ly/-qxoCi8 #OlympioMetals #rareearths #ASX

Viridis Mining and Minerals Limited has secured another 998 hectares of licences to extend and adjoin the Cupim South prospect and create a dominant land position in the wake of more spectacular results. Recent intercepts up to 23,556 parts per million total rare earth oxide were the highest grades found to date in the region's alkaline complex, providing Viridis a second major discovery in as many months and a taste of sheer scale. "This expansion marks the final puzzle piece in our plan to consolidate a corridor of landholdings between two major resources and bridge Centro Sul to Cupim South. This has increased the footprint of Cupim South from 1.71 square kilometres to a significant combined corridor of 15.75 square kilometres, comprising granted mining licences, which sets up the potential for Cupim South to be an incredible asset for Viridis concerning both grade and scale." – Viridis CEO Rafael Moreno Agha Shahzad Pervez Carly Terzanidis #Expansion #RareEarths #Mining

2024 Mining Expo and Conference: Welcome remarks by Zebra Kasete, the president of the Chamber of Mines of Namibia: 7 August 2024 A very warm good morning to all and welcome to the 11th Mining Expo and Conference. Today we are privileged and honoured to have Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah, the vice president of Namibia, to grace this occasion as chief guest of honour. Madam vice president, I welcome you wholeheartedly to the 2024 Mining Expo and Conference. The Chamber of Mines has been an advocacy body of the mining industry since its inception in 1969. The chamber is 55 years old, but we embarked on hosting this annual event in 2010, starting at the Safari Hotel, and later moving on to this venue. I am pleased to note that this years’ expo has received overwhelming support from exhibitors, surpassing all previous records. We have 199 exhibitors occupying 317 booths this year, as compared to 162 exhibitors with 268 booths during the previous event in 2023. This represents an increase of 22,8% in exhibitors, and 18,3% in booth uptake. This event has attracted a large entourage of companies from the Southern African Development Community (SADC) region, 22 in total, and three international companies. The rest are companies operating in Namibia. Since its inception, the main objective of the Mining Expo and Conference has remained the same, namely to  showcase   the   Namibian   mining   industry   to stakeholders and the citizens as the owners of the resource and provide information on what the industry really is, to provide a platform for Namibians and business entities to identify business opportunities in the upstream linkages – as local suppliers of mining inputs and services to the mining industry, and lastly but not the least, to promote careers in mining-related fields. For these noble reasons outlined above, we have continued to make participation by individuals free of charge. The costs of hosting this event are covered by the support of exhibitors and generous sponsorships. As a result, we have been able to engage all stakeholders, including the ordinary person on the street. This has made this annual event truly Namibian, for Namibians! Invitations to this event were extended to all stakeholders including the general public, through extensive media coverage that included print and electronic media, radio, social media platforms, and through our expo-dedicated chamber website. Reflecting on the remarkable achievements and trends in the mining sector, this year’s Mining Expo & Conference will highlight the potential within Namibia’s mining sector under the theme ‘Green Shoots for Namibia’s Mining Industry: a Season of Opportunity and Growth to Drive Economic Expansion’. This theme underscores the new growth and opportunities emerging in the industry, driven by a resurging uranium sub-sector, a new gold mine, growing potential in the oil and gas sector, and strategic…
