Supports Indian technology advances, decarbonization, and materials security. As India accelerates on its path toward mineral security and a low-carbon future, Vedanta – one of the world's leading natural resources companies – has announced a bold move up the value chain, positioning itself not just as a supplier of raw materials but as a catalyst for industrial transformation. Driven by the rising demand for refined, high-performance metals, the boundary between resource ext...
Adani Enterprises is piloting hydrogen, building on coal, and cutting crude. Capable of carrying 40 tons for 125 miles (200 kilometers), India's Adani Enterprises has introduced the country's first hydrogen-powered fuel cell truck for mining logistics, marking a major step in industrial transport decarbonization. Currently being piloted at the Gare Pelma III coal block in Chhattisgarh, the truck is part of Adani's commitment to advancing sustainable mining, with the mine...
Company advances from plasma formation to compression in fusion prototype. Following its initial plasma milestone earlier this year, General Fusion Inc. successfully compressed magnetized plasma with a liquid lithium liner inside its Lawson Machine 26 fusion reactor – a critical advance toward demonstrating the viability of its magnetized target fusion technology. As the dream of nuclear fusion appears to grow closer each day, General Fusion continues to advance a t...
World's largest gold miner adopts Chrysos' faster, safer gold assay system across global operations. Further solidifying Chrysos Corp.'s PhotonAssay as a faster, safer, and more accurate gold analysis method, Newmont Corp. has signed an agreement to deploy this next-generation technology across its global operations. Last week, Newmont Corp. signed an agreement to have PhotonAssay machines deployed at its global gold operations, with the first unit to be installed at its...
Simple engineered material could set the benchmark for lithium battery conductivity. Scientists at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have developed a new solid-state battery material that conducts lithium ions more than 30% faster than its contemporaries, setting a world record and opening new possibilities for next-generation energy storage. This impressive performance is significant for the future commercial viability of all-solid-state batteries (ASSBs) – a safer, m...
First project to undergo expedited permitting under national energy emergency. Amid a federally declared energy emergency and executive actions to accelerate domestic mineral production, the U.S. Department of the Interior has initiated a fast-tracked environmental review for Anfield Energy's Velvet-Wood uranium and vanadium project in Utah, marking the first uranium mine advanced under emergency permitting authorities. In January, President Donald Trump issued a national...
DTE real-time melt analysis joins Dynamic Concept automated handling in a unified platform. In a move to streamline and modernize aluminum production, Iceland-based DTE has partnered with Canada's Dynamic Concept to deliver a real-time melt analysis system integrated with automated metal handling – offering producers a unified solution to boost efficiency and cut emissions. As global demand for aluminum rises alongside mounting pressure to decarbonize heavy industry, p...
Geneva trade deal may accelerate Chinese mineral flows to American manufacturers. The breakthrough trade pact between the world's two largest economies has de-escalated trade war tensions and is expected to make it easier for American manufacturers to receive a long list of Chinese-produced minerals critical to the automotive, defense, energy, and high-tech sectors. Chinese and American officials came out of marathon trade negotiations in Geneva over the weekend with a 90-day...
Innovative ore haulage system offers substantial cost and emissions savings for expanding an Olympic Dam-sized underground mine. A recent analysis backed by BHP confirms that the innovative EcoHoist ore haulage system offers a cost-effective and lower-emissions alternative for expanding underground mines to meet the rising global demand for copper and other energy-transition metals. Commissioned by BHP's Think and Act Differently initiative – a program aimed at accelerating i...
Powerhouse partnership adds to countrywide list of stakeholders. Global electrification and automation leader ABB has joined Canada's Mining Innovation Commercialization Accelerator (MICA) Network to fast-track mining innovation through cleaner, smarter, and more efficient technologies by opening new pathways for collaboration with Canadian clients on pilot projects, accessing government-backed funding, and advancing automation and low-emission solutions across the country's...
