Chair’s Column

We hosted another great

technical event in August, with

Andrew Forman, Partner at

PwC, presenting an update on

the state of the mining industry.

Andrew’s presentation was

thought-provoking and led to

much discussion. Before

Andrew presented, Jack Kent,

EEF Scholarship recipient,

gave a very polished presentation on the work that he

has been doing for his honours thesis. It was

commendable how Jack managed to present such

detailed work in a short but concise presentation.

The 2018 field trip is about to take place. The trip will

take participants on a four-day tour to the historic mining

town of Kapunda, the Port Pirie smelter, the Simec steel

works at Whyalla, and the Iron Duke operation.

Nominations for the AusIMM awards are now open. This

includes nominations for the Institute Medal, President’s

Award, Honorary Fellowship, Beryl Jacka Award,

various Professional Excellence Awards, and the Sector

Service Awards. Details of the nomination process are

available on the AusIMM web site.

In August we will host a very topical talk by Dusan Losic

and Diana Tran of the University of Adelaide on

graphene and the latest development in the applications

of this super material. As you may know, our State hosts

some significant graphite deposits on the Eyre

Peninsula, with projects such as Lincoln Mineral’s

Kookaburra Gully, Archer’s Campoona Project,

Renascor’s Siviour Project, and the Uley graphite

operation. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn about the

latest research and applications of graphene.

In October Boss Resources will present at our technical

event and will provide an update on their Honeymoon

project.

The AusIMM Adelaide Student Chapter will host the

SEG Thayer Lindsley Visiting Lecturer, Professor John

Dilles, on 8 August. Professor Dilles is Professor of

Geology at Oregon State University and is an expert in

porphyry copper deposits. This lecture will be presented

in the Mawson Building on 8 August at 5pm for a 6pm

start and is open to everyone. More information is

available of the AusIMM event calendar on the web

page.

In October Adelaide will be host to the Australian

Geoscience Council Convention for Earth Science

Week, held from 1 to 19 October at the Adelaide

Convention Centre. In addition to a packed programme

Volume 5 August 2018

July Technical Event

The July Technical lunch was held on 19 July at the

Carrington Function Centre, in the Adelaide CBD. This

month’s event was well attended with over 40 attendees

from across a broad range of industry disciplines. The

event kicked off with a short presentation from Jack

Kent, a final year mining engineering student from the

University of Adelaide, who presented his work to date

on his honours thesis titled “Kanmantoo Copper Mine to

Mill Optimisation: Maximising Value Return through

Blast Design”. Jack showcased his work into the

analysis he has conducted with over 10 blasts using a

fragmentation software Split Desktop and relating this

data back to numerical fragmentation models used

within the industry. His work looks into altering the

various blast design parameters to achieve an overall

maximum return, being from the dig face to the plant.

Not to mention, Jack is also a recipient of 2018 AusIMM

Education Endowment Fund Premium Scholarship, and

his presentation on his current and proposed work truly

illustrates why he was selected as a winner. We wish

Jack the very best for his final thesis submission.

Adelaide Branch Chair Johann van Wijk with Jack Kent

Johann van Wijk with Andrew Forman

Soon after, Andrew Forman, Partner at PwC, gave his

much anticipated presentation titled “Mining Industry

Snapshot and Key Trends”. Andrew firstly explained the

work that PwC has done in conducting a survey of the

top 40 global mining companies and how it is used to

‘paint a picture’ of the industry at its current stage. The

survey revealed that 2017 was a stellar year for the

mining industry thanks to both commodity prices and

general economic growth. This coupled with the urge for

implementing cost saving strategies over the recent

years, has led to a strong increase in profits. Andrew

gladly explained that the outlook for the top 40 mining

companies will continue in 2018 as companies continue

to reap the benefits of the upturn in the industry.

However, he also warned us that this is by no means

certain – with technology, geopolitical and social license

risks all on the rise. Figures from PwC’s survey stated

that market capitalisation is up 30%, exploration is up

15% due to advancements in technology, safety is

improving and female board representation increased to

19%.

With this in mind, exciting times lie ahead with the next

few years of the minerals industry looking very

promising. After the presentation Andrew was

bombarded with a plethora of questions from the

audience which brought up some hot topics and gave

everyone valuable time for discussion. The event

concluded with more time to network and socialise with

fellow peers and friends. The AusIMM Adelaide Branch

would like to thank both Jack and Andrew for making

this month’s event another success.

The door prize winner was Jane Welsh. Congratulations

Jane!

2018 EEF Field Trip – Views from 3

Adelaide University Attendees

The 2018 EEF Field Trip brought a diverse group of

students from various faculties together to tour the

equally diverse deposits of the greater Mt Isa region.

Five mines were visited in just five days including Mount

Isa Copper, Ernest Henry, Dugald River, Cannington

and George Fisher. The tour aimed to prepare

participants for a career in the minerals industry,

fundamentally through exposure to the full range of

disciplines which go into making a mining operation

work. As a geologist, gaining a better understanding of

the intricacies involved in mining engineering, minerals

processing and metallurgy has been invaluable at this

early stage of my career. However, it was hard not to

focus solely on the incredible geology that was so

frequently on display.

The field trip started in the Western Fold Belt with a

1.8km descent underground via the LV decline at Mount

Isa Copper, an appropriate crash course in

underground mining for the uninitiated participants,

including myself. Students observed a range of

underground operations including vast open stopes

(from a safe distance) before ascending via the shaft lift

for a presentation on resource drilling and an in-depth

tour of the concentrating and ISAMELT facilities.

Students then travelled to the Eastern Fold Belt, starting

at Ernest Henry which was a particularly tidy operation

that allowed students to appreciate the process of

sublevel caving first hand. Before driving underground,

groups stopped at a lookout to observe the controlled

subsidence of a section of the open pit, the scale of

which was hard to contemplate.

Nearby at Dugald River, the mechanics of

mineralisation were plainly visible for all to see.

At the end of a drive, students were able to walk up to a

shear zone which abruptly transitioned into a sub-

parallel layered sequence. Students observed and

collected a range of unique rocks including sheared

graphitic slate, banded pyrite and massive breccia ore,

which contains the highest grades within the deposit.

Geologists were treated to a very special tour at

Cannington, visiting the upper portions of the mine

which were once thought to have been depleted.

Sections of these old areas were recently found to

contain remnant high grade Ag-Pb ore from the mine’s

heyday, missed by early resource drilling.

This tour alone almost took my baggage over the weight

limit as we collected dense hand samples of Ag-rich

pure galena with barely a bit of host rock in sight!

The field trip ended back in the Western Fold Belt with

a tour of George Fisher.

After a presentation detailing the mine’s history and

current operations, geologists were taken to observe

various above ground facilities. This included a working

look at a new continuous XRF drill core scanner

currently on trial at George Fisher and the extensive

core yard which all geologists at the site inevitably

become very familiar with. This tour presented a good

Volume 5 August 2018

opportunity to talk with and understand the various

activities and challenges which make up a mine

geologists day to day life.

Mt Isa and Cloncurry are both vibrant regional hubs

which have rich histories and equally exciting futures.

To this end, some of the most memorable moments of

the trip involved the many inspiring people that we met.

While some mines in the area will inevitably approach

their end of life in coming years, many others will

continue for decades to come.

It is in this sense that the importance of the mining

industry truly becomes apparent as one appreciates the

communities that it helps create and support. From this,

my urge to pursue a lifelong career in the minerals

industry has only grown stronger.

Benjamin Kimpton – Final Year Geoscience

I was privileged to take part in the 2018 EEF field trip to

Northwest Queensland in early July. I had little idea of

what to expect, having never lived or worked outside of

a major city. In fact, I had never even visited a mine site

before. I was excited by the look of Mount Isa

immediately as we landed amidst a flaming red sunset

which lit up all the lakes and tailing dams. The lead

smelter in the middle of town was actually quite

picturesque from the hilltop viewing platform.

Group Photo from Mt Isa Lookout at night

Cloncurry was an even greater culture shock to me,

especially its size, with all of 2 hotels and no phone

signal. However, by the end of the week, I had reached

the conclusion that I would not be averse to living and

working in such a small town, for a few years at least.

I loved the metallurgical processing plants from day

one. I only knew about things like ball mills and flotation

cells on paper, so it was fantastic to be able to stand

next to the plant equipment and see it in operation. The

three plants we toured (Mount Isa Copper, Ernest

Henry, and Dugald River) were fairly similar in the big

picture, with size reduction mills followed by flotation,

thickeners, and finally filtration. I was pleasantly

surprised by the relevance of all the theory I had learned

in university applied to what I was now seeing in

practice. Of course, each plant was tailored to the

separation and production of different metal

concentrates, and the sites each had to overcome

unique problems.

It was very interesting to learn about how metallurgists

dealt with issues such as variable grade feed, carbon

contamination in flotation, other impurities and

overgrinding. I particularly enjoyed talking to the

engineers at Dugald River, a relatively young operation,

about the challenges involved in starting up their 2Mtpa

plant, which was not running at steady state at the time

of our visit. Interestingly, they were already planning to

ramp the plant up to 2.4Mtpa, well beyond its design

capacity. This was in direct contrast to Ernest Henry,

where a reduction in mine output meant the plant was

running below design and achieving excellent recovery

as a result. This was good demonstration of the trade-

off between tonnes, grade and recovery.

The second valuable experience I took away from the

field trip was the intensive exposure to fields outside of

processing/chemical engineering. I had never been

underground and, although I felt a bit queasy the first

time, I quickly got used to it and ended up actually

enjoying the final trip underground at Cannington where

I got to see a production rig in operation. Being

surrounded by geologists and mining engineers for a

week meant I picked up a lot of new knowledge such as

what stopes, “bogging”, and massive sulphides are.

Although this was basic knowledge for them, it has

really enhanced my understanding of mining as a

whole, whereas previously I was only acquainted with

the processing side of things.

In conclusion I would like to thank the AusIMM and the

EEF for giving me the opportunity to take part in this field

trip. It has been one of the highlights of my year so far.

Volume 5 August 2018

If I previously had some doubts about mineral

processing as a potential career path, I no longer do.

Rachel Xu – Final Year Chemical Engineering/Finance

After spending the previous night having a wonderful

dinner meeting all the scholars, we arrived at Mt Isa

Copper at 7am. We were split into two groups – one

which toured underground and the other which toured

the copper concentrator and smelter. I learned just how

complicated the process of producing copper anode

plates from the mined ore is from the detailed

explanations given. We were allowed into the smelter

control room where we could observe the molten copper

being poured into moulds which are then transported to

the refinery to become near pure copper cathodes. After

lunch and a presentation by the site geologist, it was

time for me to go underground for the first time. Waiting

for the elevator, which the workers called ‘the cage’, I

was beginning to feel slightly nervous especially since

the heavy self-rescuer was only capable of supplying

around 20 minutes’ worth of oxygen. I climbed in the

dark elevator with four others and we were lowered to

1km below the surface. As soon as I stepped out

though, I was fascinated by the huge network of roads

and how light it was. Also, I immediately spotted the

bright yellow chalcopyrite mineralisation in the wall so I

was completely at ease. We then drove further down,

stopping at various stations to examine machinery and

ore drives (which was my favourite part).

My driver was a University of Adelaide graduate who

studied the same degree as me so it was great getting

to learn from him. We eventually reached a depth of

1.8km where we observed two diamond drills and drill

core. It was 60 degrees at that depth but the ventilation

made it bearable. The drive to the surface was quoted

as being like a ‘safari’ as there was water covering some

sections of the bumpy road.

In the evening, the NWQ AusIMM Branch hosted a

networking and technical event at the local ‘Outback at

Isa’ centre. Here we got the chance to speak with

Glencore representatives and discuss what we learned

during our visit to the mine.

On the second day, we travelled to Ernest Henry where

the mining method used was sub level caving. The

technical presentation given had a lot of engineering

content which was all foreign to me so I utilised my time

with Daryl, our engineer tour guide, to gain clarification.

We were shown the surface subsidence occurring in the

open pit which they were effectively monitoring and then

driven underground. The main challenge of the mine

was dealing with the excess water underground from

the structural and geotechnical properties of the rock

but they have an effective dewatering piping system in

place. The surface operations were in excellent order

and we were given a step-by-step explanation of the

froth flotation process. Basically, the hydrophobic

material, chalcopyrite in this case, is separated from the

hydrophilic materials when it adheres to the air bubbles

being pumped into the tank. After enough chalcopyrite

is recovered, it is transported to the thickener. However,

they were having an issue with the concentrate floating

on the surface of the thickener rather than flocculating

to the bottom but they seemed confident in resolving

this.

Ernest Henry Concentrator

In the evening, we were fortunate enough to have dinner

with the mayor of Cloncurry, Gregory Campbell, who

spoke very highly about the community and their

relationship with the mine sites. Overall, it was one of

the most informative and enjoyable days of the trip.

During our visit to Dugald River which is a relatively new

operation, we were all very impressed with the layout

and cleanliness of the processing plant machinery.

For the first time all week, the senior metallurgist

showed us inside the laboratory and the machines used

to analyse the mineralogy of samples that are sent to

them. I was very appreciative of the staff’s willingness

to help each of us understand the bigger picture. Just

before we started our descent underground, Rhett (the

Mine Technical Services Superintendent) took the time

to describe the deposit and fault regime to me so that I

could visualise it underground. He also pointed out the

gossan (the part of the ore body exposed on the

surface) which are quite rare in Australia.

Also, since it was the State of Origin, we all went to the

pub for dinner to watch it. I also had the pleasure of

meeting a geology professor from China and his

students who were currently undertaking a three-week

mapping course.

Our time at Cannington was limited so the geologist

there gave us a tailored tour underground to show us

Volume 5 August 2018

6

the brilliant mineralisation of galena in some of his

favourite ore drives. At this point, my suitcase was

already feeling way too heavy with the samples I had

already collected, but these were the best ones by far.

We were then treated to another exceptional technical

presentation during lunch, covering both the mining

engineering and geologic aspects before driving back to

Mt Isa.

Our final dinner was at a beautiful private venue with

Robbie Katter and his wife as our guests.

On the last day of the trip, we met with the senior

metallurgist and a geologist at George Fisher and they

each gave an introductory presentation. Afterwards, the

geologists and engineers were given separate tours but

due to time constraints, it was mainly around the office

and the drill core storage facility. I really enjoyed getting

the chance to see the hand-drawn geologic maps of the

underground network and how they use the map data

for creating 3D models in the office. We were then

shown a number of drill core samples and I was

fascinated by the amount of information that the

geologist (Kirsten) could tell us just from observation of

the core. My favourite part of the tour though had to be

watching the Minalyzer in operation. The machine could

precisely analyse drill core samples with x-rays in a

much shorter time frame than a lab analysis. I could

definitely see myself working there.

Overall, this fieldtrip was one of the most rewarding

experiences of my life.

I was able to learn from professionals in a variety of

fields and I now have a much clearer idea of what a

career in geology will be like after graduation.

Dale and Daryl did a tremendous job, they were the

perfect mentors, and I am now more excited than ever

to get back on site during vacation work.

Auxiliary

It is rare that that the Auxiliary can share the same

entertainers as the ones who perform for Her Majesty,

the Queen – but the SA Police Band’s Clarinet Quartet,

who performed at the Auxiliary July function at Pine

Springs Community Centre, spoke very proudly of the

brief performance of the Police Band for the Queen’s

90th birthday celebrations at Windsor Castle in May

2016.

The Auxiliary’s enthusiastic audience which included 31

members and guests were delighted with a

considerably longer performance of an hour, which

ranged from Handel, The Marriage of Figaro, Dixieland

Blues, The Beatles, Irish Suite and music from South

America. The lively entertainment was followed by a

few words of wisdom on the latest scams being

encountered in the community, and ‘The Little Black

Book of Scams’ produced by the ACCC was distributed

to interested members.

Upcoming Auxiliary Events

The next exciting function will be the celebration of the

Auxiliary’s 60th Anniversary with a formal Luncheon at

the Edinburgh Cellars in Mitcham on Wednesday, 26th

September. The AGM and morning tea will commence

at 10.30 am, with pre-lunch drinks to be served at 12

noon. RSVP details to follow.

Vale Helen Le Messurier

It was with great sadness that the Auxiliary received the

news of Helen Le Messurier’s passing on 25th July.

Helen, an active member who had served on the

Auxiliary Committee many times, was formerly a

member of the Broken Hill AusIMM Auxiliary, and has

been a supportive and regular attendee at functions.

Helen’s quick wit and lively conversation will be sadly

missed. Branch and Auxiliary members attended the

private funeral, and condolences were sent to Helen’s

husband, Bob Le Messurier, and family.

The Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves (‘the JORC Code’) is a professional code of practice that sets minimum standards for public reporting of minerals exploration results, mineral resources and ore reserves.

Alongside leading experts in the mining industry, AusIMM has developed the Online Professional Certificate in JORC CODE Reporting for resources professionals to understand how to report effectively and in accordance with the JORC Code. The interactive, online format of the course will provide participants with an opportunity to learn in a community-based environment from wherever they are situated – in the office, on a mine site, at home or at the airport.

“This course was developed to provide a clear explanation of the JORC code and its context, with a focus on successfully applying the Code in minerals reporting conditions. The case studies and group work examples should be as valuable to those considering becoming Competent Persons as to those who may need to refresh on the latest Code updates and the ASX and ASIC reporting framework.”

Steve Hunt Chair, JORC Committee 2018

“This course has been developed with today’s mining professional in mind – it is interactive, focuses on real case studies, and its online delivery mode allows participation from anywhere. We are proud to have worked with leading industry experts in developing this course and are confident that participants will gain something, no matter what stage they’re at in their professional journey.”

Stephen Durkin CEO, AusIMM

“The AusIMM Online Professional Certificate in JORC Reporting has been developed to provide an end-to-end overview of the minerals reporting process and consideration of the various modifying factors.
