A $20 million saving can now cost $60 million. Under the reformed EPBC Act, penalties for serious breaches are calculated at up to 3x the benefit gained. NEPA started work on 1 July with no-notice audit powers that reach approvals granted before the reforms passed. We work through what changed, what is still coming, and five questions to answer before the question is put to site operators. #minetek #mining #EPBCAct #watermanagement #mineclosure

Building the leaders who will shape Minetek's next chapter. Our team recently completed a full-day Emotional Intelligence training onsite: the first workshop in Minetek's Emerging Leaders Program for 2026. It was a strong start, with participants engaging fully in a day focused on self-awareness, communication, and the skills that underpin effective leadership. Developing leadership capability is an ongoing journey. We're looking forward to seeing our participants continue building their skills and confidence as the program progresses. Thank you to everyone who took part and helped make the first workshop a success. More sessions to come. #minetek #mineteklife #leaders #people #culture

Excess water is one of the biggest challenges facing industrial operations today. As water volumes continue to grow, operations need practical, cost-effective ways to manage them. That's where mechanical evaporation comes in. Discover how Minetek helps customers reduce excess water and regain greater operational control.

What happens when one rainfall event adds more water to site than your system can remove in weeks? Climate volatility is increasing pressure on site water balance across mining. Rising inflows, limited storage capacity, and tighter operational constraints are making excess water harder to manage. At Water in Mining Australia 2026, Minetek will be discussing practical strategies that help operations reduce excess water risk and maintain control. Join us in Perth on 8 to 9 September. #minetek #waterinmining #waterinminingau #WIM2026
