  • THE MAKING of the NEWCASTLE INDUSTRIAL HUB 1915 to 1950
    THE MAKING OF THE NEWCASTLE INDUSTRIAL HUB 1915 to 1950 Robert Martin Kear M.Bus. (University of Southern Queensland) A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of a Master of Philosophy in History January 2018 This research was supported by an Australian Government Research Training Program (RTP) Scholarship STATEMENT OF ORIGINALITY I hereby certify that the work embodied in the thesis is my own work, conducted under normal supervision. The thesis contains no material which has been accepted, or is being examined, for the award of any other degree or diploma in any other university or other tertiary institution and, to the best of my knowledge and belief, contains no material previously published or written by another person, except where due reference has been made in the text. I give consent to the final version of my thesis being made available worldwide when deposited in the University’s Digital Repository, subject to the provisions of the Copyright Act 1968 and any approved embargo. Robert Kear ii ABSTRACT Aim of this Thesis The aim of this thesis is to chart the formation of the Newcastle Industrial Hub and to identify the men who controlled it, in its journey from Australian regional obscurity before 1915, to be the core of Australian steel manufacturing and technological development by 1950. This will be achieved through an examination of the progressive and consistent application of strategic direction and the adoption of manufacturing technologies that progressively lowered the manufacturing cost of steel. This thesis will also argue that, coupled with tariff and purchasing preferences assistance, received from all levels of government, the provision of integrated logistic support services from Newcastle’s public utilities and education services underpinned its successful commercial development.

  • Regolith-Landforms and Plant Biogeochemical Expression of Buried Mineralisation Targets in the Northern Middleback Ranges, (“Iron Knob South”) South Australia
    Regolith-Landforms and plant biogeochemical expression of buried mineralisation targets in the Northern Middleback Ranges, (“Iron Knob South”) South Australia Louise Thomas Geology and Geophysics, School of Earth and Environmental Science, University of Adelaide, Adelaide SA 5005, Australia A manuscript submitted for the Honours Degree of Bachelor of Science, University of Adelaide, 2011 Supervised by Dr. Steven M. Hill 2 ABSTRACT South of the town Iron Knob on the northern Eyre Peninsula, a tenement scale plant biogeochemical survey and regolith-landform mapping, combined to define areas with elevated Cu, Zn and Au contents that are worthy of follow-up exploration. Plant biogeochemistry was conducted within a 6 Km2 area with 1 Km spacing between each E-W trending transect and 200 m spacing between each sample. A regolith-landform map presents the distribution of regolith materials and associated landscape processes to help constrain geochemical dispersion. A Philips XL30 SEM provided insight into how the plants uptake certain elements and distribute them within the organs structure. Two zones of elevated trace metals (e.g. Cu, Au and Zn) were defined either side of a NW-SE structure crossing over the N-S trending „Katunga‟ ridge. Both targets were located on similar regolith-landform units of sheet-flood fans and alluvial plains. Copper and Zn results were best represented by the western myall species while the bluebush species was best at detecting Au. A follow up study targeting the NW-SE structure with closer sample spacing is recommended in further constraining drilling targets. For the tenement holding company, Onesteel Ltd, these results are significant as they define two new areas of interest for possible IOCG mineralisation.

  • The Mineral Industry of Australia in 1997
    THE MINERAL INDUSTRY OF AUSTRALIA By Travis Q. Lyday Australia is estimated to be the third largest producer of minerals owned by the Government, about 36% of Australia, and then only if and metals, excluding coal and petroleum, in the world, and its they had maintained a continuing association with the land being minerals industry is a leading catalyst in promoting the growth of the claimed. The Wik ruling threw the issue into confusion because it economy. The country’s gross domestic product (GDP) in fiscal year allowed the possibility of native title extending to land held under 1996-97 (July-June) was A$491.3 billion (about $359 billion). The lease, thus increasing the proportion of land open to possible native minerals industry represented $23.3 billion, or 6.5% of the title claim to about 78% of the country (Mining Journal, 1997c). Australian economy (Minerals Council of Australia, 1998, Current economic impacts in Australia, accessed July 7, 1998, on the World Environmental Issues Wide Web at URL http://www.minmet.uq.au/ugrad/courses/5e103/ aspin/notes18.html). The real GDP growth rate for 1997 was 2.9% In October, the Government set its goal to contain greenhouse gas (U.S. Energy Information Agency, May 1998, Australia, accessed emissions at an 18% increase from the 1990 levels by 2120 (instead May 21, 1998, on the World Wide Web at URL http://www.eia.doe. of the projected 28% increase without restraint).
