BHP is pressing for Australia's gas market to move away from opaque contract negotiations towards index-based deals.

The Hunter Valley rail network serves mines run by BHP Group , Glencore Plc, New Hope Corp, Whitehaven Coal and Yancoal Australia.

Heavy rains and the worst floods in 50 years have shut the world’s largest coal-export harbour.

A review of capital raisings between February 2020 and February 2021 found that of the $2.9 billion raised for gold projects in 41 countries, 75% went to projects in just five countries, Mining Intelligence says.

Repair work is underway at Glencore PLC's Murrin Murrin nickel and cobalt plant in Western Australia following a component failure at an acid plant that left the facility running at reduced capacity.

Miner started drilling at the Murdie project in South Australia, despite opposition from an Aboriginal group that says the project will damage a sacred area.

Glencore said it has reduced output at some sites as a safety precaution.
