TOMRA Mining technology delivers I BME AXXIST technology facilitates complex pit design change

TOMRA Mining technology delivers transformative impact at the world's largest lithium sorting plant at Pilbara Minerals' Pilgangoora Operation

A year after Pilbara Minerals commissioned the world's largest lithium ore sorting plant, TOMRA Mining's sensor-based sorting technology is delivering measurable value at the Pilgangoora Operation in Western Australia, contributing to the strongest quarterly production of FY25, significantly reduced costs, and enhanced resource utilization.

BME AXXIS™ technology facilitates complex pit design change

The blasting expertise of BME's AXXIS™ Product Support and Global Blasting Technical Services (GBTS), together with the drill and blast team at an open-cut metallurgical coal mine, successfully implemented complex pit design changes. This collaboration enabled the adoption of a more efficient blasting method, significantly enhancing operational efficiency.
This project was essential to overcome the limitations on excavation caused by the previous bench design philosophy implemented. Difficult geology in the lower 20m of the blast bench also contributed to poor fragmentation results, which further impeded performance.

Develon excavators offer advanced technology for high productivity and reduced operational costs

As construction and mining sectors in Southern Africa continue to operate under pressure from rising input costs and increasingly strict environmental regulations, fuel consumption has emerged as a critical determinant of project viability.

UAE, DRC Deepen Mining Investment Cooperation Ahead of African Mining Week 2025The United Arab Emirates (UAE) and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) are ramping up mining investment cooperation in 2025, with a series of landmark agreements underscoring deepening ties between the two nations.

Paving the way for a carbon-neutral future in South AfricaWherever there are people, there is infrastructure. From the electricity that powers our vibrant cities to the clean water that nourishes our communities, infrastructure is the unseen force that shapes our daily lives and determines our quality of life. Yet, much like the air we breathe, it's often only noticed when something goes wrong. With South Africa grappling with challenges like rapid urbanisation, climate change, and resource scarcity, it is clear that our infrastructure must evolve to become smarter, more resilient, and sustainable, ensuring it can meet the needs of today and tomorrow.
