Mining News Australia
Daily coverage of ASX-listed gold, silver, copper, iron ore, lithium and critical minerals companies — announcements, drill results, and deals, as they happen.
12 COMMODITIES TRACKED • 20 NEWS CATEGORIES • UPDATED DAILY
Mining Australia covers the ASX-listed explorers, developers, and producers driving the country’s resources sector — from gold and copper explorers drilling in the Pilbara to lithium and rare earths projects feeding the battery and technology supply chains.
What We Cover
The site is organised around the commodities and company events that matter most to Australian mining and exploration:
Commodities We Track
Gold Mining News
Australia is the world’s second-largest gold producer. We track discoveries, resource upgrades, and the ASX gold stocks moving on drill results.
Silver Mining News
Silver trades as both a precious and industrial metal. We cover primary silver producers and by-product silver credits.
Copper Mining News
Electrification and data centre build-outs are pulling copper demand forward. We follow the explorers and producers positioning for it.
Iron Ore Mining News
Australia’s largest mining export by value. We report on major Pilbara producers and smaller magnetite and DSO developers.
Lithium & Battery Metals
Lithium, nickel, cobalt and graphite feed the battery supply chain — and move on offtakes and chemistry shifts, not just price.
Critical Minerals & Rare Earths
Rare earths and critical minerals have become a matter of supply-chain policy. We track projects reducing reliance on concentrated supply.
More Coverage
Beyond the headline commodities, we track the company events and secondary metals that round out the sector:
How We Work
1. Source
We start from ASX announcements, company statements, and public filings — not rumour.
2. Verify
We check figures against the primary source and name it when we rely on a single release.
3. Publish & Correct
We publish promptly and correct visibly if we get something wrong. See our Editorial Policy.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Mining Australia?
Mining Australia is a news site covering the Australian mining and exploration sector: company announcements, exploration results, commodity markets, and mergers and acquisitions, with a focus on ASX-listed miners.
Do you only cover ASX-listed companies?
Our primary focus is ASX-listed mining and exploration companies, but we also cover commodity price trends, offshore projects with Australian relevance, and industry-wide developments that affect the sector as a whole.
Which commodities do you cover?
Gold, silver, copper, iron ore, lithium, nickel, battery metals, critical minerals, rare earths, uranium, base metals, and bulk commodities. If it moves an ASX mining stock, it’s in scope.
How often is the site updated?
We publish new articles regularly as company announcements, drill results, and market news break. We don’t pad the site with filler on quiet days.
Is anything on this site financial advice?
No. Mining Australia provides general news and information about the mining sector. It is not financial product advice, and we are not a licensed financial adviser. Read our full Disclaimer before acting on anything you read here.
How can a mining company get in touch or be featured?
Contact us through our Contact page. We consider company announcements, interview requests, and sponsored feature proposals — sponsored content is always clearly labelled.
Do you accept sponsored content or advertising?
Yes. We work with mining and exploration companies, brokers, and service providers on sponsored features and company profiles. Every piece of sponsored content is clearly labelled and kept editorially separate from our news — see our Editorial Policy.
How quickly do you publish after an ASX announcement?
We aim to cover material announcements the same trading day where possible. Speed depends on how complex the announcement is and whether we need to verify details beyond the release itself.
Can I republish or quote your articles?
Short quotations with clear attribution and a link back to the original article are fine. Full republication or syndication requires our written permission — get in touch to discuss.
How do I report an error or request a correction?
Email us via our Contact page with a link to the article and a description of the issue. We review corrections promptly and note material changes on the article itself.
Do you provide stock tips or investment recommendations?
No. We don’t provide price targets, buy/sell calls, or portfolio advice. We report on what companies and the market are doing — what you do with that information is your decision, ideally with input from a licensed adviser.
How can I keep up with new articles?
The easiest way is to check back regularly or bookmark the commodity categories you care about most. We don’t currently run an email newsletter, though it’s something we may add as the site grows.
