It was great turn out in the Hunter Valley on Friday, supporting the Mark Hughes Foundation at the CPR Group Australia Charity Golf Day.

A big thank you to all involved, whether organising, participating or sponsoring for making it such a great day. We were hanging out on hole 3, catching the golfers on the way round.

Fresh off the back of the BTP open at the Singleton Workshop, we brought our Specialised Tooling to the greens... not quite the perfect tee, but fun never the less!

Firing up the grill to cater for the miners that came to visit the Geographe Specialised Tooling demos with BTP at the Singleton workshop on Thursday in. the Hunter Valley

Thanks to all those who came along from Hunter Valley Operations, Mount Thorley Warkworth, Bulga Coal and Bloomfield Four Mile to see the Ball Stud Removal Tool (BSRT) and Ball Stud Bearing Installation and Removal Tool (BSBIRT) in action on some Caterpillar haul trucks

We hope seeing how haul truck maintenance can be done differently with specialised tooling was useful, and you enjoyed the hospitality...

A big thanks to BTP for hosting all of us!

Global supply chain disruption can quickly become a mining operations risk.

Local manufacturing offers a practical path to greater supply chain resilience, with improved visibility, quality control and responsiveness when maintenance schedules change.

At Geographe, our Western Australian manufacturing base brings engineering, machining, heat treatment, finishing and quality control together under one roof. For many parts, most unstocked items can be produced within four to five weeks, helping mining operators plan maintenance with greater confidence and reduce exposure to international freight delays.

We’re proud to share that Geographe’s Ball Stud Bearing Installation and Removal Tool (BSBIRT) has been named a finalist in the 2026 Australian Mining Prospect Awards for Excellence in Mine Safety, OH&S.

Designed to replace high-risk manual bearing change out methods, BSBIRT enables a controlled, single operator process that helps improve safety, reduce task time and support mine site uptime.

In Western Australian field trials, crews maintained all four steering arms in a single 12-hour shift, while individual bearing change-outs were reduced from up to six hours to around 15 minutes.

Congratulations to everyone involved in advancing safer, more efficient mining operations. Winners will be announced on 16 September in Perth.

Small changes can make a big difference to safety, particularly over time.

Musculoskeletal injuries, or MSIs, are often associated with the everyday tasks that keep a mining operation moving — lifting, handling, reaching, twisting, repetitive work and working with heavy components.

While these tasks may be familiar, that doesn’t mean the risk should be accepted. The right equipment and tooling can help reduce manual handling demands, improve working positions and support safer, more efficient maintenance activities.

At Geographe, we believe safety is built into the way work is planned, engineered and performed. That means looking beyond the component itself and considering the people who install, remove, inspect and maintain it. When equipment is designed to reduce effort and improve access, it can help protect people while supporting productivity across the operation.

Stephanie Clarke, Lead Occupational Therapist at Multi-Coached and Hassan Qadri, Technical Sales Manager for Geographe explored this topic at this year's Australian Mining Safety Summit.

Wondering what one of the most dangerous pieces of equipment is that causes injuries? (Spoiler: its far smaller and humble than you might think!) Interested in what an Occupational Therapist does and how they help those injured? Interested in how specialised tooling can help prevent injuries when used over time?

Then this talk is for you.
