A fleet of 14 autonomous surface drill rigs to be delivered to Western Australia lithium mine. Pilbara Minerals, the world's largest independent hard rock lithium producer, has ordered a fleet of surface drill rigs from Epiroc for its Pilgangoora lithium mine in Western Australia. This large order includes 14 SmartROC D65 surface drill rigs, as well as a contract for Epiroc to provide spare parts for the surface drill rigs to keep downtime to a minimum. Several giants of the...
Plant optimizations boost both graphene output and quality for advanced applications. As the demand for advanced materials accelerates, Graphene Manufacturing Group Ltd. (GMG) has exceeded expectations at its newly commissioned modular graphene production plant in Richlands, Australia, with the company reporting improved production rates and graphene quality since the plant began operating in December. Based in Australia, GMG has been at the forefront of clean-technology innov...
Innovation Mining's proprietary non-toxic formula competes with cyanide in terms of effectiveness and costs. Innovation Mining recently passed a major milestone on its path to providing global mining companies with a cost-effective and environmentally preferred alternative to cyanide for gold recovery. For more than 130 years, cyanide has provided an inexpensive and effective means of extracting gold from ore. A chemical compound of carbon and nitrogen, cyanide dissolves gold...
Awards innovative company $4.2 million to recycle the terbium needed for military and industrial applications from fluorescent lights. Toward achieving its mission to establish reliable and secure supplies of minerals critical to national security, the U.S. Department of Defense has awarded Nebraska-based Rare Earth Salts $4.22 million to advance its technology to recover terbium from recycled fluorescent light bulbs. "This award adds a domestic source for one of the most...
First domestic source of cobalt and nickel to be produced in new Ohio facility. This week, Nth Cycle became the first company in the United States to produce recycled nickel and cobalt. Using its patented Oyster system to produce these battery metals at its 21,000-square-foot manufacturing facility in Ohio, this system is able to upgrade black mass and nickel scrap into mixed hydroxide precipitate (MHP), a key intermediate product that can be refined into nickel and cobalt...
After eight years of permitting, U.S. Forest Service issues draft decision for Perpetua's Stibnite Gold project in Idaho. In a move that is being hailed as a win for national security, the economy, and the environment, the U.S. Forest Service says it plans to approve the federal permits needed to develop Stibnite Gold, a mine project in Idaho that will be a significant domestic source of antimony critical to a number of military, high-tech, and consumer goods. "We believe...
Computer simulations quickly discover an alloy of ruthenium, chromium, and titanium as a more durable, efficient, and greener catalyst. Researchers at the University of Toronto are using artificial intelligence to accelerate scientific breakthroughs in the search for sustainable energy – by using the Canadian Light Source (CLS) at the University of Saskatchewan to confirm an AI-generated formula for a new catalyst could potentially produce hydrogen fuel more efficiently. G...
Develops panels that borrow solar electricity to generate hydrogen from moisture in the air. The first "hydrogen solar panel" ever created merges the two most powerful, clean and renewable sources and is ready for real-world trials. A team of bioscience engineers from the University of Leuven in Belgium – Johan Martens Tom Bosserez, Jan Rongé and Christos Trompoukis – has been working for over a decade on Solhyd, an idealistic plan to develop a panel that can create hydr...
Desktop Metal qualifies Continuum Powders' recycled superalloy for additive manufacturing. In a significant step toward advancing sustainable additive manufacturing (AM), Desktop Metal Inc. has qualified Continuum Powders Corp.'s 100% recycled Mar-M247 superalloy for use in its binder jet 3D printers, marking the first time a fully recycled alloy has been approved for the company's metal printing platforms. The adoption of recycled metals in 3D printing has faced significant... Full story
