Burgundy eyes extended life for Misery
Published: 05 Sep 24
Australian mining company Burgundy Diamond Mines has announced encouraging results from its ongoing drilling programme at the Misery underground mine in Canada, suggesting the potential for an extended mine life beyond the initially planned 2026 closure date.
CEO Kim Truter stated that the Misery pipe, known for its high-value ore, appears poised to remain productive well past the original schedule. This optimism stems from drilling results that indicate the kimberlite pipe contact has been intersected earlier than anticipated in all completed drill holes targeting the Misery Main ore body extension.

France's Orano selects Tennessee site to build uranium enrichment plant
Published: 04 Sep 24
France's state-owned nuclear fuel company Orano has selected Oak Ridge, Tennessee as a preferred site to build a multi-billion dollar US uranium enrichment plant, Tennessee and Orano officials said on Wednesday.
The move comes months after the administration of President Joe Biden signed legislation meant to eventually end dependence on Russia, the world's top supplier of enriched uranium. The law imposed a ban on imports of Russian enriched uranium and freed up to $2.7 billion in U.S. funding for domestic uranium projects.

South Africa's mining sector 'gearing for growth' as reforms yield results
Published: 04 Sep 24
Amid electricity and logistical constraints, as well as an increase in crime and corruption, the mining sector contributed only 6.3% to South Africa’s GDP in 2023, down from 7.3% in 2022, Minerals Council South Africa CEO Mzila Mthenjane noted in a presentation at the Africa Down Under conference, in Perth, Australia, on September 4.

Mining input inflation again outpaces PPI in July
Published: 04 Sep 24
The Minerals Council South Africa finds in its latest index that mining input costs increased by 6.4% year-on-year in July. The increase matches that of June, with yearly input costs having held steady over the past two months owing to persistent high winter electricity tariffs that are constraining downward movement in inputs costs, as well as high costs of finance and transport.
