Rio Tinto signs MoU with China Baowu to decarbonise steel value chain

The world’s biggest steelmaker, China Baowu, and the world’s largest iron ore producer, Rio Tinto (ASX:RIO), have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to explore multiple new industry-leading projects. The projects include the research, build and demonstration of a pilot-scale electric melter at one of Baowu’s steel mills in China. This will enable the production of low-carbon steel making using direct reduced iron produced from low and medium grade ores. Other projects include optimising pelletisation technology for Australian ores as a feedstock for low-carbon shaft furnace-based direct reduction and expanding the development of China Baowu’s HyCROF technology which largely mitigates CO2 emissions from the blast furnace process. Both companies...

This structure includes a stable family life and a reliable education: two important things that every parent or guardian hopes to provide. For parents working in the resources sector, a fly in, fly out or drive in, drive out working life may be of concern due to the lifestyle’s potential impact on their children. The Glennie School offers continuity and excellence in education for girls in a secure and happy learning and living environment. Students begin boarding at Glennie from year seven and are encouraged to develop lasting friendships that will serve as their ‘other...

Cadia cuts Newcrest production guidance

SAG and ball mills at Cadia. Image: Newcrest. BY CAMERON DRUMMOND NEWCREST has lowered its gold production forecast to reflect the temporary suspension of operations at its Cadia gold project in NSW. Cadia’s production guidance was downgraded to between 560,000oz and 600,000oz for FY18, down from between 680,000oz and 780,000oz. An embankment slump of Cadia’s Northern Tailings Facility had occurred in March, halting production at the mine. Mining was suspended, with processing recommencing at a restricted capacity from 29 March due to limitations of the capacity of the Southern Tailings Facility. In April, the gold miner announced it had received approval from the NSW Department of Planning and Environment to use the first 200m of the old Cadia...
