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.

Not Dead Yet: ‘Hydrocarbon Man’

By Callum Newman, Thursday, 14 September 2023

Oil is threatening to break US$100 again. We also have diesel ‘cracks’ at roaring levels now. Diesel prices are up 40% since May. Refiners — the businesses that buy crude oil and process it — are making a fortune for every drop of diesel they can bring to the market. That gives them every incentive to keep bidding up crude oil while this continues. That’s not a great signal for the economy in general. However, that doesn’t mean you can’t make a buck from this dynamic in the stock market…

They’re Going to Call him James Copper

By Nick Hubble, Wednesday, 13 September 2023

A few weeks ago, I finished interviewing eight experts on Net Zero and the energy transition. I asked each of them the same question: which commodities do you see as the key shortages which will undermine Net Zero? They all came back with the same response…

Why I Reckon George Soros Would Back This Trade Today

By Callum Newman, Wednesday, 06 September 2023

Could Japan become the Surprise Growth Story over the Coming Decade?

By James Cooper, Friday, 01 September 2023

In the 1980s, Japan’s economy was booming. But when the decade concluded, so did the Japanese economy, bottoming in October 2008. Japan has lived inside a deflationary bubble for three decades. Yet remarkably, it seems that bubble has now finally burst…
