Australia’s hydrogen export in the form of embedded mineral derivatives
By R Daiyan, G Burge, M Haider Ali Khan
Australia’s mineral and metal exports have a substantial carbon footprint, twice that of its domestic emissions, mainly due to fossil-fuel-dependent downstream processes like processing into secondary

Using an undisturbed landform to calibrate long-term predictions of the evolution of a rehabilitated landform
By G R. Hancock, M J. Saynor, J B. C Lowry, K G. Evans, M Narayan
Tools such as landform evolution models (LEMs) provide a means of predicting how a landform may evolve over extended periods of time. Here, we utilise the CAESAR-Lisflood LEM to assess a proposed reha

Can robots break the drill and blast bottleneck in underground roadway development in hard rock?
By M Berner, N A. Sifferlinger, E Fimbinger
Today, the advance rate of underground roadway development by drill and blast operation is limited by the need to ventilate the toxic blast fumes after each cycle. In deep mines this usually is only p

Relationship between thermal conductivity and structure of alkaline earth (Ca, Mg) aluminoborosilicate melts
By H Aoki, A Nakayama, K Morita, S Yamada
The thermal conductivity of mold flux is crucial for optimising the productivity and quality of steels. This study investigates the thermal conductivity of molten oxides, including CaO-BO1.5-AlO1.5 (C

Queensland Mines Should Consider Climate Change Impacts for Decommissioning
By M C. Evans
"Mine decommissioning is the final phase in a mining project. Planning for decommissioning must commence for a proposed mine even before the government approves it. Queensland mining approvals require

Hoist Ropes for Double-Drum Winders ù A New Concept
By R Verreet
In April 2000 Mount Isa Mines installed hoist ropes of a new design on the double-drum winder at their P49 shaft. The ropes, CASAR Duroplast, were about three times as expensive as the previously used

Conclusions from long-term cover system performance monitoring – a case study
By R Barritt
Remedial options for a waste rock dump (WRD) were considered as part of closure planning studies at an active mine in Western Australia. To minimise the impact of any seepage from the landform it was

Mine Fires and Ventilation
By Upfold RW, Velzeboer MD
An underground mine fire will influence the ventilation equilibrium in several ways which results in a redistribution of the ventilating quantities and pressures throughout the whole mine. The vent

Beyond Grade Control - Broken Links in the Chain of Value
By A Weeks an, R Bertinshaw, S Khosrowshahi
Good mining is central to any approach to value tracking. Good mining occurs where the ore is correctly delineated, measured and fed to the mill. This process is usually referred to as grade control,
