Roy Hill has taken home Australian Mine of the Year at the 2021 Prospect Awards after the awards night took place in Brisbane on Thursday.  

The resources industry continues to invest in IT solutions to support digitisation. Specialist fibre and network solutions provider Vocus has the infrastructure and services to keep these solutions connected.

Finalists for the 2021 Australian Mining Prospect Awards are now locked in with the top mines, as well as the best and brightest in safety, minerals processing and more on show.

Vocus has continued to connect Australia’s mining industry, this time with a $500 million Darwin-Jakarta-Singapore Cable (DJSC) to enhance the Pilbara mining region.

The specialist fibre and network solutions provider is expanding on its current infrastructure, which is creating increased demand for its services.

Year 2020 cemented the importance of having a dependable and secure telecommunications network, as COVID-19 forced millions to work remotely and become more reliant on using technology to communicate. Vocus explains what’s next for the industry’s technology revolution.

The remote locations of mining of sites means telecommunications coverage is often limited and unreliable, hampering a business’ ability to access high-speed data and voice connectivity.

A Vocus network connectivity solution has helped boost coverage and speed at Minjar Gold’s remote Southern Cross mine in Western Australia.
