SUMMARY:MRIWA Tech Talks: Mineralisation Controls in the Fraser Zone
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an engaging MRIWA Tech Talk highlighting Project M0470a\, a multi-scale investigation into the controls on mineralisation within the Fraser Zone—one of Western Australia’s most prospective yet least understood geological regions. \nThe project addresses major knowledge gaps by moving from broad orogen-scale interpretations to detailed structural\, geochemical and isotopic analyses aimed at identifying mineralisation pathways and diagnostic geochemical fingerprints. Conducted in conjunction with the Geological Survey of Western Australia (GSWA)\, this collaborative effort brings together leading expertise to provide a more accurate and comprehensive understanding of this complex terrain. \nOur speaker\, Professor Katy Evans of Curtin University\, Lead Investigator on the project\, will share insights from her team’s multidisciplinary work and discuss how these findings can sharpen exploration decision‑making and enhance discovery potential across the state. ] \nAttendees will gain a richer appreciation of how this research strengthens Western Australia’s exploration capability\, supports innovation\, and contributes to long‑term value for industry and the broader community.

SUMMARY:Critical Minerals & Tailings Monthly Webinar (MRIWA)
DESCRIPTION:The transition towards a circular and low-carbon economy requires innovative and integrated approaches to secure the supply of critical raw materials (CRMs). This presentation will focus on the development of advanced process routes for CRM recovery from primary and secondary resources\, while ensuring the valorisation of all process streams across the value chain. The work covers a holistic approach that integrates resource pre-treatment\, hydrometallurgical processing\, separation and refining steps\, as well as the treatment and reuse of process waters. Particular emphasis is placed on the design of sustainable and efficient recovery strategies that maximise resource efficiency\, reduce chemical consumption\, and minimise waste generation. \nThe use case presented is centred on lithium extraction from spodumene as a representative primary resource. This case demonstrates a validated TRL 5 process concept for sustainable lithium recovery\, combining selective processing strategies with integrated residue management. In addition to lithium production\, the approach enables the valorisation of the remaining solid residues\, contributing to a more circular and resource-efficient flowsheet. \nAlthough the case study focuses on lithium\, the developed methodologies are transferable to other critical raw materials and are aligned with the increasing need for more sustainable mining and processing practices. Overall\, the presentation highlights how integrated process design can bridge efficiency\, sustainability\, and circularity in primary CRM production systems.

DESCRIPTION:Join HILT CRC for a public webinar showcasing four iron and steel technology providers – and HILT CRC partners – working on practical pathways to decarbonise iron and steel production.\nSpeakers from Primetals Technologies\, Metix\, Tenova and Hatch will each provide a technical deep dive into their technologies\, alongside a broader view of future green iron and low-carbon steelmaking pathways. \nFor Primetals\, Gerald Wimmer will provide a technical overview of its work supporting lower-emissions iron and steel production. The presentation will consider practical pathways for integrating new process technologies into future green iron and steel value chains\, including the implications for feedstocks\, energy supply\, plant configuration and scale-up. \nGerhard Terblanche will present for Metix. As SMS group’s centre of competence for reduction furnace applications\, Metix brings deep expertise in pyrometallurgical furnace technologies\, submerged arc furnaces\, high-temperature process engineering and advanced electric smelting solutions. \nTenova will provide a multi-speaker overview of its technologies across the iron and steel value chain. Markus Dorndorf will introduce the company’s direct reduced iron (DRI) and electric arc furnace (EAF) technologies; Andre Esterhuizen will discuss submerged arc furnace technology\, including iBLUE® (which combines direct reduction with arc furnace-based hot metal production)\, residual valorisation and slag granulation; and Alessandro Della Rocca will address downstream technologies\, including reheating furnaces. \nFor Hatch\, Simon Nitschke\, Managing Director\, Equipment Technology\, will present on Hatch’s work in green iron and steel\, including the NeoSmelt electric smelting furnace (ESF) design. \nPresentations from each company will include an audience Q&A after each session\, with a panel discussion to close.

SUMMARY:Report Release: Western Australia’s Resources Sector in Transition
DESCRIPTION:The Bankwest Curtin Economics Centre invites you to a special sundowner for the release of our latest report\, Western Australia’s Resources Sector in Transition\nWestern Australia’s economy remains deeply anchored in its resources sector\, with iron ore continuing to underpin exports\, public revenues\, employment and living standards. But the global operating environment is shifting rapidly. Decarbonisation\, technological disruption and geopolitical fragmentation are reshaping resource-based economies worldwide. \nThis new Focus on Industry report examines how WA’s resources sector is adapting to these pressures\, and what this means for economic diversification\, fiscal sustainability and long-term prosperity. While the sector remains a source of strength\, it also faces growing structural pressures\, including rising costs\, infrastructure constraints\, concentrated supply chains and exposure to volatile global markets. The report also assesses the opportunities – and limits – of downstream processing\, critical minerals and low-emissions industries.

SUMMARY:DEADLINE: AEA Innovate Grant Round 3
DESCRIPTION:Innovate grants support mid-stage research commercialisation through competitive grants of up to $5 million for a maximum period of 24 months. \nThese grants are available for researchers at Australian universities to collaborate with industry to advance projects that already have laboratory proof-of-concept. \nGrant recipients are expected to be able to increase the technology and commercial readiness of their innovation to reach proof-of-scale. This includes developing and testing prototypes or pilots for new products\, processes or software in an industry-relevant environment.

SUMMARY:The Impact of Geopolitics on Mining
DESCRIPTION:Current geopolitics are leading to shifting global alliances and keen national interests in resources around the world. What does this mean for capital flows and supply chains in the mining industry globally? Is Australia positioned to win in this environment? \nJoin YMP Perth for what is set to be an exciting discussion around a topic that is demanding more attention\, more than ever in the current world.
