Outlook for minerals sands – an interview with Reg Adams
The mineral sands sector is well-accustomed to supply shortfalls, having weathered a series of geopolitical setbacks since mid-last decade. An unnerving mix of post-Brexit uncertainty, rising tensions with China, and a string of outages in major global supply hubs, have been stalling - or outright upending - production efforts since 2016. However when the COVID-19…

Tectonics and implications for gold prospectivity in Victoria
Victoria’s rich orogenic gold endowment has helped make the State what it is today. But much of its potential is yet to be discovered, with historic goldfields mainly found through surface geochemistry (panning), where mineralised levels are serendipitously exposed. Even the most superficial data supports this belief. Of the all-time ~190,000 tonnes of gold mined,…

Mineral sands supply – do we have enough? An interview with Reg Adams
