This year marks 125 years of publishing resource industry statistics for Western Australia. Through its many forms, the Department has published information ranging from the amount of gold exports from the Customs House way back in 1894, to the amount of meters drilled across the State, to the value of investment expected in a given period. The mineral and petroleum industry is crucial to Western Australians, with the materials mined here used in our buildings, cosmetics and medicines as well as in the technology and infrastructure we need for our future. The industry’s opportunities, challenges, investments and needs are inseparable from WA’s future and so its performance and contributions to our economy are highly valued. Globally, commodity drivers for 2018–19 were much the same as the twelve months prior with US–China trade discussions, Chinese stimulus policies and US fiscal policies influencing prices. Another factor to be shaping global commodity markets is the slowing supply growth rates over the last five years which, when combined with major supply shocks affecting iron ore, copper and alumina markets, has created upwards pressure on prices for these commodities. Perhaps the biggest supply shock seen in recent years has been the failure of Vale’s dam in Brazil which is estimated to have added US$10–15 per tonne to the iron ore price alone. As iron ore is WA’s biggest mineral commodity, this has had a very positive flow on effects for the State’s industry and the economy more broadly. But while the financial year results have delivered another record performance, we can expect global commodity markets to moderate over the coming years. David Smith Director General Department of Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety 3 0.85 OVERVIEW 0.80 0.75 Commodity markets were on a roller-coaster ride for much of 2018–19 as US–China trade tensions entered their third year.

  • Roy Hill Celebrates Historic First Shipment
    10 December 2015 Roy Hill Celebrates Historic First Shipment Hancock Prospecting Pty Ltd and Roy Hill Holdings Pty Ltd are pleased to announce the historic inaugural shipment from Port Hedland of low phosphorous iron ore from the Roy Hill mine on the MV ANANGEL EXPLORER bound for POSCO’s steel mills in South Korea. Mrs Gina Rinehart, Chairman of Hancock and Roy Hill Holdings Pty Ltd, said “The Roy Hill mega project is the culmination of hard-work from the dedicated small executive and technical teams at Hancock and more recently by the entire Roy Hill team.” “Given that the mega Roy Hill Project was a largely greenfield project that carried with it significant risks and considerable cost, it is remarkable that a relatively small company such as Hancock Prospecting has been able to take on and complete a project of this sheer size and complexity.” “The Roy Hill Project has recorded many achievements already and with the first shipment it will also hold one of the fastest construction start-ups of any major greenfield resource project in Australia. This is a considerable achievement, and although the media refer to a contractors date for shipment, it remains that the shipment still occurred ahead of what the partners schedule had planned in the detailed bankable feasibility study.” “The performance on the construction gives great confidence we can achieve performance as a player of international significance in the iron ore industry. To put the scale of the Roy Hill iron ore project into perspective in regard to Australia’s economy, when the mine is operating at its full capacity, Roy Hill will generate export revenue significantly greater than either Australia's lamb and mutton export industry or our annual wine exports.

The review has taken into account updated long term metal price, foreign exchange and cost assumptions, and mining and metallurgy performance to inform cut-off grades and physical mining parameters. This has resulted in the most marginal ounces being removed from the portfolio and these are reflected in changes to Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves. Group Mineral Resources As at 31 December 2014, Group Mineral Resources are estimated to contain 140 million ounces of gold, 20 million tonnes of copper and 130 million ounces of silver. This represents a decrease of approximately 8 million ounces of gold (~5%), 0.4 million tonnes of copper (~2%) and 1 million ounces of silver (~1%), compared with the estimate as at 31 December 2013.

  • Case Study: Rio Tinto Iron Ore (Pilbara Iron) Centralized Monitoring Solution
    Case Study: Rio Tinto Iron Ore (Pilbara Iron) Centralized Monitoring Solution of 2007, seven mines all linked by the world’s largest privately owned rail network. CHALLENGES To meet the growing demand for their iron ore, particularly from the ever-growing Chinese market, Pilbara Iron were faced with the challenge of increasing production from their mining operations, or more importantly preventing stoppages in production, while maintaining quality. It was recognized that the process control systems at their processing plants were critical assets required to be available and reliable while keeping the plant within the optimal production limits. At the same time the mining industry, like most industries, was and is facing a worldwide shortage of skilled labor to operate and maintain their plants. Rio Tinto Iron Ore Figure 1. Pilbara Iron’s operations has the added burden of very remote mining operations, making it even harder to attract and retain experienced and skilled labor, PROFILE particularly control and process engineers. The mining operations of Rio Tinto Iron Ore (Pilbara Iron) in Australia are located in the Pilbara Region, In order to offer the benefits of living in a a remote outback area in northwest Western modern thriving city, a group of process control Australia, some 1200 kilometers from Perth. Pilbara professionals was established in Perth.

The last underground historic mine closed in 1954 with continued production locally. The Bendigo Goldfields is Australia's second largest in terms of historical production after Western Australia's Golden Mile (Boulder, Kalgoorlie).1 It produced the largest amount of gold of any field in Eastern Australia and retains the largest evidence of its mining past within the inner city area. The history of mining shaped and created Bendigo. It left a chaotic industrial landscape which was in a state of perpetual flux with seemingly random, scattered, small and often very isolated settlements of people across a wide area.2 The Bendigo goldfields, about 12 kilometres wide, extend 30 kilometres from north to south.
