Robe River Iron Associates is a dynamic Australian joint venture In 1996 Robe purchased an MMD 1500 Series Twin Shaft Sizer fit- which is widely regarded as the worlds most cost effective, consis- ted with 4 Tooth heavy duty rotors. The sizer is powered by two 500 tent and reliable supplier of Iron Ore.

  • Groundwater Resource Assessment and Conceptualization in the Pilbara Region, Western Australia
    Earth Systems and Environment https://doi.org/10.1007/s41748-018-0051-0 ORIGINAL ARTICLE Groundwater Resource Assessment and Conceptualization in the Pilbara Region, Western Australia Rodrigo Rojas1 · Philip Commander2 · Don McFarlane3,4 · Riasat Ali5 · Warrick Dawes3 · Olga Barron3 · Geof Hodgson3 · Steve Charles3 Received: 25 January 2018 / Accepted: 8 May 2018 © Springer International Publishing AG, part of Springer Nature 2018 Abstract The Pilbara region is one of the most important mining hubs in Australia. It is also a region characterised by an extreme climate, featuring environmental assets of national signifcance, and considered a valued land by indigenous people. Given the arid conditions, surface water is scarce, shows large variability, and is an unreliable source of water for drinking and industrial/mining purposes. In such conditions, groundwater has become a strategic resource in the Pilbara region. To date, however, an integrated regional characterization and conceptualization of the occurrence of groundwater resources in this region were missing. This article addresses this gap by integrating disperse knowledge, collating available data on aquifer properties, by reviewing groundwater systems (aquifer types) present in the region and identifying their potential, and propos- ing conceptualizations for the occurrence and functioning of the groundwater systems identifed. Results show that aquifers across the Pilbara Region vary substantially and can be classifed in seven main types: coastal alluvial systems, concealed channel

  • Mineral Resources of Western
    MINERAL RESOURCES OF WESTERN AUSTRALIA DEPARTMENT OF MINES PERTH, WESTERN AUSTRALIA 1980 Issued under the authority of the Hon. P. V. Jones, M.L.A. Minister for Mines 89686-1 Since the publication of the last issue of this booklet in 1966 a major expansion of mineral production in Western Australia has been achieved. Deposits of iron, nickel, natural gas, bauxite, heavy mineral sands, uranium and diamond are now being worked or are known to be commercial. Over the period 1966 to 1971, following the initial discovery of nickel sulphide at Kambalda, a speculative boom in base metal exploration developed that could only be likened to the gold rush days around the turn of the century. Although not all of the exploration activity in this period was well directed, many new discoveries were made as a result of the ready availability of risk capital. In the wake of the boom it is mainly the true prospectors that remain-the individual, to whom the still sparsely populated areas of the State hold an irresistible appeal and the chance of rich bonanza, and the established and dedicated mining companies for whom exploration is a necessary and vital part of the minerals industry. 1 am confident that the persistence of these prospectors will be rewarded with yet further discoveries of economic mineral deposits. Western Australia, with an area of over 2.5 million square kilometres, has a wide diversity of rocks representing all geological periods, and vast areas have been incompletely prospected. This booklet presents an up to date account of the minerals that are, or have been, economically exploited in Western Australia.
