Latest Mining Industry News and Developments: Stay Updated in the World of Mining

Australia is a land rich in natural resources, and we have often benefitted from the richness these resources provide us. As a major trading country, we are also economically dependent on these mineral and energy resources — particularly iron ore, uranium, and natural gas.

Given that we depend on these resources so much, economic downturns and the end of the mining boom in 2012 have shown just how much Australia relies on traditional mining projects.

Concerns about depletions and scarcity of resources, along with environmental considerations, have made it abundantly clear that new mining solutions and technologies are required if Australia is serious about the future of the industry.

 

The Demand for Resources

Despite the aftershocks felt at the end of the mining boom, Australia is still a world leader in mining and holds a top-five position as a producer of important commodities.

Growth in developing countries, such as China and India, has unsurprisingly led to an increase in demand for mineral and energy resources. This continued agreement with countries like China can only help us in an increasingly globalised sector.

Breaking Mineral Resources News & Industry Insights

There are many new technological innovations that could change the face of the industry. With the electric car revolution coming, the value of metals and minerals like lithium, nickel and cobalt will likely improve. Precious and rare metals will also be in favour as the focus on renewable technology increases.

Australian miners are also changing conventional mining practises with the added use of automation to extract commodities more efficiently.

Despite recent downturns in the commodity market (made more unstable because of China’s slowing economic growth in industry and construction), the previous decline in resource sector investment is set to lift with these ‘green shoots’ and tech advancements.

There are still profitable mining stocks and resource shares out there — you just have to know how, and where, to find them.

What’s Not Priced In: 80% Off and No One Wants to Buy!

By Greg Canavan, Friday, 20 October 2023

In this week’s episode of What’s Not Priced In, we speak all things commodities with James Cooper. We discuss how this cycle is different to the secular bear market experienced in commodities from 2012–16. We focus specifically on the carnage in the junior mining sector. James explains why this sector is the area speculative investors should be looking at to position for big gains in the years ahead.

Navigating Capital Raisings in Junior Mining Stocks

By James Cooper, Wednesday, 18 October 2023

I’ve had some of my Diggers and Drillers readers asking about capital raisings in the junior mining sector. I addressed those questions in a recent update to subscribers, and thought the content would also be of interest to Fat Tail Commodities readers. It’s all about capital raisings in the junior mining sector. Enjoy…

Preparing Australia’s Resource Riches for a Multipolar World Order

By Brian Chu, Monday, 16 October 2023

Today I’ll explore with you some high-level issues regarding mining, geopolitics and how the world is shifting amidst drastic events in recent times. Australia is in a unique position to benefit, as we hold a vast amount of resources that can dictate the destiny of countries whom we choose to partner with strategically. Many foreign investors realise this and have moved in to grab our assets. Will our government and business leaders act to protect our interests and improve our bargaining power? Whether they do or don’t, the opportunity is there for you now to get in early and while it’s selling for cheap.

An Opportunity Awaits as Explorers Emerge from the Dust

By James Cooper, Friday, 13 October 2023

In today’s Fat Tail Commodities, James Cooper reflects on the deep sell-off happening among junior mining stocks in 2023.

Read on to find out what they are…

The Outlook for Iron Ore and Oil

By Callum Newman, Thursday, 12 October 2023

We left yesterday’s Money Morning with the idea that iron ore would be stronger, for longer, than most think. Now we can add further to our idea here thanks to BHP. Plus, while I won’t pretend to know a thing about the current situation in Israel, what I can tell you is that, right now, the markets don’t seem concerned that it’s going to break out into a wider flare up…
