Of the different industries flourishing in Europe today, mining is not on the top of the list. But a new EU mining initiative is addressing this issue. We look into its potential and the challenges that lie ahead.
Australians have mixed opinions about uranium mining. While Queensland announced it would reinstate a ban, Western Australia’s government approved the first new uranium mine since the lifting of a ban in 2008. We investigate the controversial topic. Also in Australia, AMMA plans to improve organisations’ ‘gender diversity capability’, and we analyse proposed legislation changes that could drive investment and exploration, according to a NSW trade body for miners.
We also report on conflict in Peru over Southern Copper’s plans for Tia Maria mine, ask why Barclays – once the world’s biggest financier of mountaintop removal coal mining – has chosen to no longer finance the practice, and take a look at a new good practice guide to preventing and managing serious health and safety incidents in the industry.

BHP Billiton spin-off South32 is gaining more recognition since its launch a few months ago. We cast our eyes towards the company’s future. Meanwhile, a small Western company has managed to gain a licence to mine one of Russia’s national treasures which hosts a potential 841,000 tons of nickel. We ask Amur Minerals how it achieved the seemingly impossible task of navigating the Russian licensing system.
We also learn how a new EU law similar to the US’s Dodd-Frank Act will affect businesses, investigate the impact of China scrapping its quota system limiting exports of rare earth minerals, and look into the ongoing controversy surrounding deepsea mining n the US. Moreover, we ask why the Australian Government has decided not to go ahead with an inquiry into claims that the world’s biggest iron ore miners are intentionally driving down prices to push their rivals out of the game.
