NSW Minerals Council’s Post

BHP's recent announcement to slash emissions by 30% by 2030 and achieve net-zero by 2050 is a testament to their proactive stance in tackling climate change. This commitment, coupled with their focus on technological innovation and collaborative partnerships, sets a commendable precedent in the mining industry. Graham Winkelman rightly emphasises the importance of step change technology solutions and value chain collaboration in achieving these ambitious targets. It's clear that BHP is not just talking about sustainability but actively integrating it into their business strategy. As a Recruitment Partner, I'm proud to support BHP in this transformative journey. By providing top-tier candidates who are aligned with BHP's sustainability goals, we contribute to their efforts in adopting cleaner technologies and enhancing operational efficiency! #Sustainability #MiningIndustry #ClimateAction #Collaboration #Innovation #creatingcareerstopowerasustainablefuture #Spencerogden #BHP https://lnkd.in/gC3geAp8

Meet the QRC’s 2024 Board of Directors. Our Directors represent a broad range of commodities and are a voice for all our members.   The Board, our CEO and policy team got together recently to talk about what our industry needs from the next government of Qld.   With a state election coming up, it’s important all sides of politics understand what it takes for our sector to continue to be Qld’s number one export industry, that is:   • stable, competitive government policy settings • genuine consultation about policy changes that impact our industry • action to reduce long delays in project assessments and approvals • better access to a skilled workforce   Stay tuned for more updates as we finalise the QRC’s priorities in the lead-up to the state election on October 26.   Member companies represented on the QRC Board include (L to R) Australia – Anglo American, Coronado Global Resources Inc., Evolution Mining, Thiess, Arrow Energy, BHP, Jellinbah Mining Group, Australia Pacific LNG, South32, Queensland Exploration Council, Glencore Australia (Glencore Qld Metals), Stanmore Resources Limited, Genuity and Whitehaven Coal.   * Board includes BRAVUS COO Mick Crowe and Genuity CEO Brent Gunther (represented by alternate Carly Roberts).

Did you know that South Australia is the nation’s largest producer of Copper? 🙌 Producing a massive 337,00 tonnes - 42% of Australia’s copper in FY24. And to keep the copper pipeline of projects growing, the Government of South Australia is revamping their Copper Strategy. Last week's Department for Energy and Mining, South Australia + AMEC Copper Strategy Round Table, organised and led by Giles Dunseath-Hamilton and SA Manager Peta Abbot provided a great opportunity to discuss new ways to keep the Red Metal flowing. Thanks to leaders across SA Government for discussions on: • Geology and Pre-competitive Geoscience • Exploration and Mining Regulation and Approvals • Capital Raising and Investment AMEC members are very appreciative of the opportunity to provide input to the Strategy. We are looking forward to the development of Actions that support companies and their copper projects to grow copper in SA!

Unlocking Queensland's Copper Potential 🚀 We all know that copper demand is rising largely due to the global transition to electrification. You may not know that QMines is uniquely positioned to potentially deliver high-grade, open-pit copper resources from Queensland, Australia.🌏 ♻️ 💪 The development of our Mt Chalmers and Develin Creek projects offer: ✅ Shallow, high-grade deposits—ideal for cost-effective, long-life operations ✅ Proven track record—our team has consistently delivered resource growth and project milestones ✅ Future upside—the current Develin Creek drilling campaign isn’t yet in our mine plan, which means there's even more potential for growth 📈 Let's just say it’s an exciting time to be part of the QMines journey! 👉 Stay up to date here ➡️ https://buff.ly/3YzXsgJ ASX:QML | FSE:81V #QML #QMines #copper #criticalmetals #energymetals #greenenergy #resources #mining #coppermining #mineralresources #energytransition #copperexploration

Safeguarding Lives and the Environment: The Importance of the Cyanide Management Code In the mining industry, the International Cyanide Management Code plays a critical role in ensuring the safe handling and use of cyanide. As a voluntary initiative for gold and silver mining operations, the Cyanide Code sets the benchmark for responsible cyanide management throughout the entire lifecycle - from production to transportation, storage, use, and disposal. Key benefits of adhering to the Cyanide Code include: ✅ Protecting human health and minimizing environmental risks ✅ Ensuring transparency and accountability through third-party audits ✅ Driving continuous improvement in operational practices ✅ Enhancing community trust and industry reputation By committing to this standard, companies demonstrate their dedication to both operational excellence and responsible mining practices. #CyanideCode #MiningSafety #Sustainability #ResponsibleMining #EnvironmentalStewardship #MiningIndustry

What do Australia’s next generation of miners think we should be doing to keep mining responsibly now and in the future? That was the question facing a team of Newmont graduates, who teamed up to develop the “Made With Australian Metals” (MWAM) campaign to educate Australians about the critical role our metals play in their daily lives. Tanami mine geologist Bianca Mcnair and Telfer plant metallurgist Mahan Lari pitched the idea at this week’s NSW Minerals Council's HSEC Conference, describing MWAM as a unifying trademark showcasing products made with Australian metals, from aluminium cans to cutting-edge EVs. Join us in making MWAM a symbol of quality, sustainability, and ethical mining, elevating Australia’s reputation as a global leader in responsible mining. Together, we can forge a brighter, more sustainable future. #Newmont #MWAM #AustralianMetals #SustainableMining #ResponsibleMining #Innovation

Our President and CEO, Michael Goehring took to the stage to moderate an insightful panel on critical minerals at the Pacific NorthWest Economic Region (PNWER) Annual Summit in #Whistler yesterday. The panel discussed responsible mining and mineral processing within the Pacific Northwest region; opportunities to build out a regionally based critical mineral supply chain; and enhancing First Nations and Indigenous participation and partnerships within the sector, across the region. One of the key takeaways from the panel: with the right policy direction, the region can host a robust #criticalmineral supply chain to support climate action, economic reconciliation and help meet North America’s technology, defence and security objectives. Thank you to #PNWER, and the panel of experts: Heather Exner-Pirot, Senior Fellow and Director of Natural Resources, Energy and Environment, with the Macdonald-Laurier Institute; TJ Parhar, Executive Lead, Mining Regulatory Reform, for the BC Ministry of Energy, Mines, and Low Carbon Innovation; Doug Brown, Vice President Corporate Affairs, Teck Resources Limited (Doug is also the Chair of the Mining Association of British Columbia); and Nalaine Morin, Vice President, Environment & Regulatory Affairs, Skeena Resources Limited.    #PNWER2024 #criticalminerals #economicreconciliation
