Hazer has achieved a world first in Western Australia, using its methane pyrolysis technology to produce clean hydrogen and graphite for the first time. <\/span>The Hazer commercial demonstration plant (CDP) in WA has made good on a decade of development, leveraging conversion technology to transform methane into hydrogen and synthetic graphite using an iron ore process catalyst.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In May 2019, Hazer and the Water Corporation entered into a memorandum of understanding to establish the CDP. <\/span>The pair now expect the site’s operations to ramp up through the first half of 2024. <\/span>Hazer’s CEO, Glenn Corrie, expressed his excitement and pride in the team’s achievement, highlighting \u201cover 10 years of preceding research, development, and engineering innovation\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt’s a testament to the Hazer team\u2019s dedication, courage, and resilience in reaching this milestone,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mr. Corrie was also bullish on the prospect of the technology playing a crucial role in Hazer’s commercialisation strategy.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe have plans to extend the continuous operation of the plant in 2024 and to scale up the technology with global partners in key markets such as North America, Europe, and Asia.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The project cost between $23 million and $25 million to fund, with $9.41 million provided by the Australian Renewable Energy Agency or ARENA.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Queensland Eyes a Downstream Critical Minerals Industry<\/span><\/h2>\n

The Queensland government has unveiled its FlexiLab concept, aimed at supporting the processing of critical minerals, including cobalt, nickel, zinc, vanadium, and alumina. <\/span>The concept contains the design of a new pilot processing plant to be housed in Mackay within the QLD Resources Centre of Excellence.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The plant will provide room for\u00a0<\/span>testing, innovation, research, and training<\/span><\/strong> for the resources sector, with the Queensland Government supporting the facility with $5.7 million in funding. <\/span>According to Queensland Resources and Critical Minerals Minister Scott Stewart, investments in initiatives like FlexiLab will ensure \u201ca substantial resources future for the community and for Queensland for decades to come.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAs global demand for critical minerals continues to rise, FlexiLab will play a pivotal role in shaping the future of mineral processing,\u201d Mr Scott said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Adding, \u201cThis state-of-the-art facility, designed with a vision for innovation and collaboration, is set to redefine the landscape of mineral processing and accelerate growth in the critical minerals sector.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

The stakeholders hope that FlexiLab will complement the upcoming Queensland Resources Common User Facility, which is currently under construction in Townsville. <\/span>The rapidly growing demand for a broad range of minerals \u2013 essential to new technologies like renewable energy and defence \u2013 has allowed QLD to help companies develop new value streams based on the available array of critical minerals.<\/span><\/p>\n

Miners Urged to Dig Deep for Growth<\/span><\/h2>\n

In its annual\u00a0<\/span>Tracking the Trends<\/span><\/em> report, Deloitte consultants have called on Australian miners to make mineral exploration their focus, over and above acquisitions.\u00a0<\/span>The 16th annual report covers\u00a0<\/span>key trends and challenges<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0facing the mining industry in the new year.<\/span><\/p>\n

One of the surprising findings in the release is the recommendation for mining companies to invest more in grassroots exploration rather than mergers and acquisitions (M&A) of smaller exploration companies. <\/span>The prompt follows 2023, a year ripe with noteworthy mergers and acquisitions, including BHP\u2019s takeover of OZ Minerals in April and Newmont’s acquisition of Newcrest in November.<\/span><\/p>\n

“The percentage of exploration spend compared to the size of markets, like copper, is decreasing over time in mining and metals,” said Charles Hooper, director of consulting at Deloitte Canada.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt takes approximately 15 years for a mine to go from discovery to production. It\u2019s important that companies think about their decline curves today and determine the role exploration can play in their strategy to replenish and grow reserves,\u201d he added.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The report’s authors recommended that mining companies establish relationships in new areas, use technology to augment exploration teams, and maintain exploration efforts through economic cycles. <\/span>Deloitte maintains the view that Australia\u2019s mining and metals sector remains critical to the global green energy transition.<\/span><\/p>\n
