Europe’s tungsten revival: new issue of MINE out now!
The October edition of the digital magazine MINE examines how geopolitical tensions, shifting trade relationships and technological innovation are reshaping mineral supply chains and mining operations. Its main section covers the impact of tensions around the Strait of Hormuz on iron ore supplies, China's changing procurement strategy and the implications for Australian producers, and how European tungsten projects are responding to export controls and the search for alternative supply sources. The issue also includes analysis of disruption to coal markets and the outlook for 2027, and an Australian supplement on copper recovery from mining waste, lower energy and water consumption technologies, and the manganese sector.
Why it matters: The edition frames European tungsten projects and Chinese procurement shifts as responses to export controls and geopolitical tension, placing mineral supply chains at the centre of the briefing's coverage.
