Anglo American new cutting-edge training centre

Anglo American new cutting-edge training centre A new training centre in a prime Moranbah position will help boost mines rescue capabilities and shorten response times when incidents occur in Queensland’s Bowen Basin mining hub. Anglo American and Exxaro — which own a 50-50 joint venture steelmaking coal exploration project at Moranbah South — have leased an 18ha parcel of land to Queensland Mines Rescue Service (QMRS). The land, on the corner of Railway Road and Moranbah Access Road, is opposite the planned site for stage 3 of the Resources Centre of...

Bowen High students unlock ‘export level’ at Abbot Point

Bowen High students unlock ‘export level’ at Abbot Point Abbot Point Operations (APO) has taken a group of Bowen State High School students on a deep dive into the operations of Australia’s most northern deepwater export port. The year seven students participated in a two-day learning experience at Bowen’s North Queensland Export Terminal (NQXT) gaining a fascinating insight into the stages of resources production and learning how the terminal plays a vital part in the pit-to-port process. The learnings from the site tour were then applied at a school ‘Pit to Port’ workshop delivered by the...

Queensland turtle hatchlings’ glowing first journey

Queensland turtle hatchlings’ glowing first journey Design features at the North Queensland Export Terminal north of Bowen are ensuring turtle hatchlings see the light as nature intended. Abbot Point Operations manages the operations and maintenance of the multi-billion-dollar facility and has incorporated “turtle-friendly” amber lighting on terminal infrastructure visible from the ocean, to allow hatchlings a smoother path to the sea. Abbot Point Operations general manager Damien Dederer says the specially designed lighting is just one example of how smart thinking and smart technology supports ecosystems to thrive around an operating port. “The North Queensland Export Terminal is one of Queensland’s busiest ports, exporting...

Black Canyon Lights up With Magnificent Manganese

Australian manganese explorer, Black Canyon Limited (ASX:BCA), has announced results from the recent reverse circulation (RC) drill program at the Flanagan Bore Manganese Project. Systematic drilling along a 2,000m long target located between the FB3 and LR1 deposits discovered significant zones of manganese mineralisation. Black Canyon said there was high-potential to expand the global Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) at Flanagan Bore beyond the current 104Mt @ 10.5% Mn (Indicated) containing 11Mt of manganese. Black Canyon’s Executive Director, Brendan Cummins, said: “The outstanding continuity of manganese grade and geology has been further highlighted with these latest assay results from the drilling along 2,000m of strike between the LR1 and FB3 deposits. “The downhole intervals above 15% Mn will potentially add valuable...

New target for emerging gold producer ready to explore

New target for emerging gold producer ready to explore

FOCUSSED on the exploration and development of gold in WA, Southern Cross Goldfields has identified a significant gold target in the Marda gold belt. The Thresher prospect was found during systematic regional auger drilling soil sampling programmes within its 4000 square kilometres of tenements in the Marda belt, 150km north of Southern Cross. Lying in a structurally complex geological position, the newly defined gold anomaly was defined by plus 40 parts per billion across a strike length of 800m with a plus 100ppb core across 400m. Thresher is close to the Evanston Shear Zone, which has anomalous gold occurrences over its 30km strike length; is parallel to an adjacent magnetic unit and may be on the flank of a local...
