  • Mining in South Australia the AUSTLIAN MINING REVIEW
    OCTOBER 2016 20 MINING IN SOUTH AUSTRALIA THE AUSTLIAN MINING REVIEW BHP Billiton’s world-class Olympic Dam project. Image: BHP Billiton. A bright future Home to 68 per cent of the nation’s copper and 25 per cent of the world’s known uranium, South Australia’s resources industry is an irrefutable force. Additional State Government support, which aims to kick-start investment and sector growth, reflects its importance. ELIZABETH FABRI SOUTH Australia, affectionately known as the ‘Copper Kingdom’, has been a key contributor to Australia’s mining industry as far back as the 1800s, and today boasts the world’s largest uranium deposit and the country’s largest underground mine, Olympic Dam. In 2014/15 the State’s minerals and petroleum sector had a gross value of product at $5.958 billion and regionally the industry contributed a gross regional product of $6.377bn. While established operations are peppered across the State, the region maintains more than 700 exploration licenses and more than 20 advanced projects in exploration, feasibility and resource definition phases, signifying great promise for the future. In addition to copper and uranium, commodities such as iron ore, gold, graphite, zinc and zircon are generating interest. However, the fate of the sector is resting on a rapid solution to the high energy prices experienced across the State in recent years. The Whyalla steelworks operation is a recipient of State budget funding. Image: Arrium. Photography Sean Kelly. “At this point in time electricity is the number one, two and three thing that needs dollars to be put into South Australia.” a globally competitive resources sector, the community of Whyalla.

  • BHP: Fine Words, Foul Play 23 September 2020 Introduction
    BHP: fine words, foul play 23 September 2020 Introduction BHP presents itself, and is often considered by investors, as the very model of a modern mining company. Not only does it present itself as socially and environmentally responsible but now as indispensable in the efforts to save the world from climate catastrophe. Given the impacts and potential impacts of its Australian operations on Aboriginal sites and the furore over Rio Tinto’s destruction of the Juukan Gorge site earlier this year, perhaps BHP will begin to tread more carefully. It certainly needs to. This briefing summarises concerns around current and planned operations in which BHP is involved in Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Peru and the USA. LMN and our member groups work with communities or partner organisations in these five countries. Concerns include ecological and social impacts, violation of indigenous rights, mining waste disposal and the financing of clean- up. Other matters of current concern are briefly noted. At the end of the briefing are reports on three legacy cases - in Papua New Guinea, Indonesia and Colombia - where BHP pulled out, leaving others to deal with the environmental destruction and social dislocation caused by its operations. LMN exists to work in solidarity with communities harmed by companies linked to London, including BHP, the world’s largest mining corporation. This briefing is intended to encourage those who finance the company to use that finance to force change, and members of the public to join us in support of communities in the frontline of the struggle to defend their rights and the integrity of the planet’s ecosystems.

THE RESOLUTION COPPER DEPOSIT, A DEEP, HIGH-GRADE PORPHYRY COPPER DEPOSIT IN THE SUPERIOR DISTRICT, ARIZONA Geoff Ballantyne, Tim Marsh, Carl Hehnke, Dave Andrews, Amy Eichenlaub & Ken Krahulec Kennecott Exploration Company THIS PAPER WAS PRESENTED AT THE MARCO T. EINAUDI SYMPOSIUM, SOCIETY OF ECONOMIC GEOLOGISTS STUDENT CHAPTER, COLORADO SCHOOL OF MINES, GOLDEN, CO; A CONFERENCE (MARCOFEST) HELD AT THE COLORADO SCHOOL OF MINES ON APRIL 3 AND 4, 2003. INTRODUCTION Manske and Paul (2002) described a recently discovered, deep, high-grade porphyry copper deposit in the Superior (Pioneer) district of Arizona. Their description, written after just five core holes had intersected an apparently coherent zone of >1% Cu mineralization, provides a remarkably complete picture of the upper parts of the mineralized system. Following initial drilling, which was carried out by Magma Copper Company and by BHP, Kennecott secured an option to earn a 55% interest in the copper deposit through further exploration expenditures. The deposit was named the Resolution deposit and a program of deep surface drilling commenced in July 2001. Since that time 17 additional deep core holes have been completed, most of them to depths of more than 2000m.

  • ALL the QUEEN's AGENTS & CORPORATIONS the Queen's
    ALL THE QUEEN’S AGENTS & CORPORATIONS The Queen’s Prerogative English law prohibits questioning the Monarchy about their personal holdings and business. This is true of most of Europe’s royalty, whether enthroned or not. The wealth of the Monarchies is held outside of the countries that made the wealth. The British Crown’s offshore banks hold the greatest personal wealth in the world estimated at $35 trillion. Perhaps the British Crown still owns and controls its Commonwealth Nations, including the American “colonies.” Monarchies are not supposed to be warlord bankers who create conflict and chaos to turn a profit or destabilize an economy for personal gain. But they have been for some time now, and history is a string of immoral wars caused by monarchies, the Vatican and other religions. Untold millions have died while kings and popes lived on to grab the wealth through well-established institutions that were created to control the people of the Earth. The Commonwealth of Nations, headed by Queen Elizabeth II, is made up of 53 nations, spanning the globe, accounting for one-fifth of the land mass of the Earth, and a very high percentage of its strategic resources and population. The Queen is a Knight of Malta and has vowed allegiance to the Pope through the largest insider trading club on the planet. The British Crown Agents are, in fact, also agents of the Vatican’s Knights of Malta. The Queen is a Knight of Malta The Sovereign Military Order of Malta (SMOM) took control of the power and wealth of the Poor Fellow-Soldiers of Christ and of the Temple of Solomon from within the Roman system.

  • The ISA Discussion Paper (DP) Identifies The
    The ISA Discussion Paper (DP) identifies the following four projects within the Eyre & Western Region as priorities ‐• 6‐Star $500m International Holiday Resort • Competitive Export Pathways for Primary Industries • Super School in Whyalla Education & Training Precinct • Energy Transmission and Generation on EP. This information is sourced (acknowledged) from the RDSA Infrastructure Priorities Report. The priorities require updating to reflect changes since the report was published and the report, within the context of this region and ISA’s objectives, requires a broader perspective. For instance RDAWEP has successfully supported and advocated for; the $100m Super School (due for completion in 2021) and has broadened the agenda to advocate for an integrated Education and Innovation Precinct (EIP) an $280m upgrade of the energy transmission network (Electranet due to commence construction in 2020) and is progressing various energy generation projects across the region – however the planned transmission upgrade will be at maximum capacity when completed and therefore requires greater capacity than is planned Competitive Export Pathways for Primary Industries which is a catch‐all for the ports of Thevenard, Port Lincoln, Lucky Bay, Whyalla, approved port at Cape Hardy together with bulk handling, storage and transport network efficiencies, including road & rail, for agriculture, mining and processing – this catch‐all represents many projects that drives efficiency, enhances global competitiveness and collectively exceeds $1bn, ranging from maintenance and enhancement of existing assets (i.e. dredging Thevenard) to building new Infrastructure (i.e. Cape Hardy Port and connection to national rail grid) Early high level master planning, identification of key stakeholders, location & land acquisition and potential partners for a multi experience International Resort.

  • Scoping Comments for the Resolution Copper Mine DEIS Earthworks, A
    March 29, 2016 Mr. Neil Bosworth, Forest Supervisor Mr. Tom Torres, Deputy Forest Supervisor Tonto National Forest 2324 East McDowell Road Phoenix, AZ, 85006 Sent by email to: [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] RE: Scoping Comments for the Resolution Copper Mine DEIS Earthworks, a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization focused on the environmental and social impacts of the mining and oil and gas industries, wishes to thank the Tonto National Forest (TNF) for the opportunity to submit scoping comments for the Resolution Copper Mine Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS). We are confident that our comments will best reflect the concerns of our 1000+ members who reside in Arizona and who will be impacted by the construction, operation, and post-closure challenges of the Resolution Copper Mine, as proposed. As the Forest Service prepares to take a hard look at the impacts of the mine plan, and begins to analyze potential alternatives to mitigate environmental and social impacts, we are optimistic that our comments will be taken into consideration in a meaningful way as a DEIS is being written. Introduction: The Resolution Copper Mine (RCM, or “the project”) would become one of the largest copper mines in the world, directly affecting over 10 square miles of land – most of which is currently owned by the American public and beneficially used in a variety of ways. Between the proposed tailings location near Queen Valley and the well known recreation and spiritual site of Oak Flat, existing beneficial uses include off road vehicle recreation, spiritual ceremonial gatherings, rock climbing, hiking, camping, bird watching and many other uses.

  • Case Study: Whyalla, South Australia Industrial Decline and Rejuvenation
    Globalization, Planning and Local Economic Development www.gpaled.com Case study: Whyalla, South Australia Industrial decline and rejuvenation Whyalla is a small city in South Australia located on the Eyre Peninsula near the head of Spencer Gulf, 237 kilometres from Adelaide by air and 396 kilometres by road. At the 2016 Census the city had 20,114 persons, with the population falling since the mid-1970s when 33,000 persons lived there. At the 1996 Census, for example, the city had a population of 23,644 and the slow, and apparently irreversible, decline in population over four decades has been a constant feature of the city and its economy. At the 2016 Census the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population numbered just over 1,000 persons or five per cent of the population, and this group had doubled in number over the past two decades. Whyalla was born as an industrial town. It was established in 1901 (as Hummock Hill) as a shipping port for iron ore from the mine at nearby Iron Knob. Broken Hill Pty Ltd (BHP) opened a blast furnace for the production of iron and steel in 1941, and also began building naval ships. In 1944 a new water pipeline was completed, removing a major constraint on industrial and population growth. By 1968, BHP had opened an integrated steel works and the population was growing at 3,000 persons per year, many of them migrants from Europe. BHP’s workforce in steel production and shipbuilding reached nearly 7,000 in 1970. However, the shipyards closed in 1978, bringing several decades of remarkable growth to an end.
