Mining contributes more than $800 million annually to Tasmania’s gross state product and directly employs over 3500 people. Together with the mineral processing sector, it employs more than 5000 people and it represents nearly 50 per cent of Tasmania’s total state exports. The Tasmanian Government, through the Department of State Growth, has developed the Western Tasmania Export Corridor Plan (the plan), with the support of a grant from the Australian Government’s Regional Infrastructure Fund. The plan aims to support Western Tasmanian mining industry development through improving the productivity and efficiency of export supply chains in the region. The objectives of the plan are to support industry growth and development through: improved supply chain productivity and efficiency; and enhanced infrastructure capacity where required. The plan builds on a previous infrastructure audit, the Western Tasmania Industry Infrastructure Study (WTIIS), completed in 2012, which identified transport as the primary infrastructure priority for the region. The plan builds on the WTIIS by extending the geographical scope to include the northwest region, as well as Burnie Port and Port Latta. The plan was informed by the 2011-12 Tasmanian Freight Survey and an extensive program of industry discussions, including representatives from mining, agriculture and forestry industries and comprehensive supply chain mapping. Infrastructure owners and managers including TasPorts, TasRail and State Growth Roads Division were also consulted. While the plan identifies that there is sufficient infrastructure capacity in place to meet current demand and a range of future growth scenarios, it highlights the importance of ongoing planning and monitoring of mining sector developments. It also identifies that there are opportunities to continue to enhance the efficiency of existing mining supply chains. A primary focus for government will be preparing detailed analysis of roads and bridges for both existing and possible future vehicle configurations, enabling targeted enhancements to public infrastructure such as bridges to improve supply chain productivity and efficiency. Regular, ongoing monitoring of mining sector growth and projected demand will also be key. Through implementing the actions outlined in this plan the Government will ensure that the development of the Western Tasmanian mining industry continues to be supported by productive and efficient transport infrastructure. Western Tasmania Export Corridor Plan 2017 4 Background Mining and mineral exploration in Tasmania Tasmania is one of the most highly mineralised regions in the world and has an extensive range of high grade mineral deposits including: Metallic minerals - copper, gold, silver, iron, tungsten, tin and zinc. Industrial minerals - ultra-high purity silica flour, magnesite, limestone, dolomite, fluorite and coal. Non-metallic construction materials - building stone, aggregate, gravel and sand. $2.85 billion worth of minerals were mined and processed in Tasmania in 2015-16. The majority of the state’s mining operations are located in Western Tasmania. This includes the Rosebery (zinc, lead, gold, copper and silver) and Savage River (iron one) mines. Queenstown’s Mount Lyell mine (copper, gold and silver) was also in operation until transitioning to care and maintenance in June 2014. Significant deposits of construction materials including road base and surfacing materials, gravel, sand and clay are also extracted from Western Tasmania. The major mineral commodities mined in Western Tasmania are exported into domestic and international markets with some processing undertaken within the state. $1.61 billion of minerals were exported in 2015-16. Construction materials extracted are processed for use in Tasmania. Generally the mineral deposits support longer-lasting operations producing small tonnages annually (between 20 000 and 200 000 tonnes), however, in combination, the operations across the region produce significant freight volumes. There are over 500 mining leases in Tasmania, with a range of operating statuses, including in active operation, under care and maintenance, new mines under development and exploration projects/prospects. The following figures provide maps of current statewide mines and mineral processors and proposed mining operations.

This is despite the importance of understanding the influence of hydrogeology on the evolution and management of environmental issues such as acid mine drainage (AMD). There is a need to determine whether the special climatic and geological features of such districts result in distinct groundwater behaviours and compositions which need to be considered in mining impact studies.

    Newsletter of the Centre for Ore Deposit Research, an ARC Special Research Centre at the University of Tasmania CODES ‘ore deposit characterisation’ research initiative CODES has engaged Dr Steve Walters to develop a new research strand in the area of ‘ore deposit characterisation’ – the interface between exploration, mine scale geology and mineral processing. This interface is widely recognised as a cross-discipline divide that is not adequately addressed by current research and teaching initiatives. This new research will further support CODES in developing its strategic plan for new research initiatives to support the Centre of Excellence bid to be submitted in late 2004.

Acid drainage from abandoned mines in Tasmania Dr Shivaraj Gurung FOREWORD Acid drainage, resulting from the oxidation of sulphide-bearing rocks, is recognised as one of the major sources of heavy metal pollution in many of waterways proximal to metal mining sites in Tasmania. Prior to this investigation, only limited information was available on the extent of acid drainage impact from historic abandoned mine sites. Section 37.5 of the Tasmanian State Policy on Water Quality Management (1997) requires that “an inventory of sources of acid drainage from historic mine workings should be carried out”. This reconnaissance investigation provides a basis for this inventory. The program is a component of the proposed State Water Quality and Quantity programs and was largely funded by the National Heritage Trust. Water analyses were carried out by the Department of Primary Industries, Water and Environment at the Analytical Service Tasmania laboratory. Geochemical analyses, map production and project management were carried out by Mineral Resources Tasmania. This report primarily focuses on acid drainage from abandoned mine sites in Tasmania. It presents new data and the compilation of existing data on water chemistry and geochemistry associated with abandoned mine sites in Tasmania. The report accompanies a series of acid drainage impact maps and an inventory of acid-producing abandoned mine sites.
