The last mining warden, Mr Frank Windridge, compiled the following information about mining warden inquiries held since 1990, together with findings of four coal mining disasters in Queensland at Box Flat, Kianga, Moura No 4 and Moura No 2. It is through the efforts of Mr Windridge that we are able to make the information available to the public in the interests of improving safety and health in the mining industry. 3 Index to inquiries Name of deceased or injured Date of Date of Location of accident party findings accident Laurence THOMAS (Serious 22 March 8 March GOONYELLA RIVERSIDE MINE Injury) 2001 2000 John Anthony MAHER 1 March 30 August COOK COLLIERY 2001 2000 Michael John GALVIN and 9 February 26 August Edward Mervyn JONES LORENA MINE, CLONCURRY 2001 2000 (Serious Injury) Peter James COMERFORD 7 December MOUNT ISA MINES LIMITED LEAD 14 July 2000 2000 SMELTER UPGRADE Michael James MORRIS 9 November OAKY NO 1 MINE 26 May 2000 2000 Christopher John LEE 24 August 15 March JELLINBAH OPEN CUT COAL MINE 2000 2000 Michael GOLDSTAR MOUNT ISA MINES LIMITED LEAD 20 December 16 June 2000 MINE 1999 Geoffrey Michael BARLING 30 March CANNINGTON MINE 27 June 1999 2000 Greg SOBCZAK (Serious Injury) 24 February LALEHAM MINE SOUTH BLACKWATER 22 May 1999 2000 Brant NORTH (Serious Injury) 29 October 20 January OAKY CREEK NO 1 1999 1999 Sang Chul KIM 23 WMC FERTILIZER PROJECT 27 April September PHOSPHATE HILL 1999 1999 Scott Robert JOHNSTON 23 November 27 May 1999 ENTERPRISE MINE 1998 Phillip Anthony FOWLER 26 February 14 December CANNINGTON MINE 1999 1997 John Charles BARBER 2 February DEEP COPPER MINE, MOUNT ISA 4 June 1997 1998 Dale GADSBY 3 December BHP BLACKWATER OPEN CUT MINE 4 May 1997 1997 David Ronald STRATTON 20 November ISA MINES SCRAP METAL YARD 19 June 1997 1997 Trevor George DOMROW 29 October 25 March NEWHILL COLLIERY 1997 1997 Gary John WILSON 3 September 5 November LALEHAM NO. 1 COLLIERY 1997 1996 Brett Grant DUFFIE 14 August 23 November AT SELWYN MINE 1997 1996 Rick John TURNBULL 14 August 10 December MOUNT ELLIOTT MINE 1997 1996 Wayne Anthony Corry MOUNT ISA MINES LIMITED LEAD 6 October 18 June 1997 JACKSON MINE 17 LEVEL 1996 Barry Arnold ROOKS 29 April 27 October DEEP COPPER MINE, ISA LEASE 1997 1996 Alan MORGAN 27 March OAKY CREEK NO 1 MINE 19 4 1997 September 1996 Kenneth Andrew SLATER 12 8 December LOW GRADE STOCK PILE, TICK HILL September 1995 GOLD MINE 1994 Glenn BURROWS 5 December MOUNT ISA MINES COPPER 4 June 1996 1996 CONCENTRATOR Tony Daniel John TREVOR 18 AprilL 14 March AT MOUNT ISA MINES 1996 1995 Westmoreland Project 7 March WESTMORELAND EXPLORATION 10 November 1995 PROJECT LAWN HILL STATION 1993 Gavin John MILNER 2 March 17 October TICHUM CREEK QUARRY 1995. 1994 Ian William HAIGH 16 December 5 May 1993 GREGORY MINE 1992 Gay Thomas BOLTON 12 April 31 December MOURA OPEN CUT MINE 1994 1993 Peter Lawrence KERR 12 April 31 December MOURA OPEN CUT MINE 1994 1993 Maurice Gerald BISSELL 12 April 31 December MOURA OPEN CUT MINE (Serious Injury) 1994 1993 Shane Thomas SWIFT (Serious 12 April 31 December MOURA OPEN CUT MINE Injury) 1994 1993 Sean James KENNEDY 17 November 2 October TICK HILL MINE 1992 1992 Gordon Dudley WOOD 30 April 19 December GOONYELLA/RIVERSIDE MINE 1992 1991 David Anthony KELLY 9 March 7 February LEAD SMELTER GAS COOLING TOWER 1992 1991 Peter Carl DANIEL 1 October SMACKER'S KNOB MINE 12 June 1991 1991 Michael John GOREY 30 September MT ISA CONCENTRATOR 22 May 1991 1991 Anthony MIHALJ 7 August N-S TWELVE-E-TWO STOPE, CRACOW 14 May 1991 1991 MINE Jusuf VRBIC 6 August NUMBER SIX DRAW POINT N-S- 13 March 1991 TWELVE ORE BODY, CRACOW MINE 1991 John Phillip BAIRA 22 April 26 June 1991 LEAD SMELTER ISA MINES 1991 Gary Michael MARTIN 26 January 24 June 1991 MOUNT ISA MINES 1991 Malcolm Peter WOLFENDEN 22 April 5 October GREENVALE MINE SITE 1991 1990 Martin Henry ROWLANDS 12 March 4 October HILTON MINE, MOUNT ISA 1991 1990 Ricky Alan GUDGE (Serious 12 March 4 October HILTON MINE, MOUNT ISA Injury) 1991 1990 Dean Michael WHITE 19 29 November GLENDEN September 1990 1990 Thomas Douglas Lawrence 2 October 4 June 1990 MOUNT ISA ANDERSON 1990 5 Gregory George NICHOLSON 13 March 19 May 1989 Mt Isa Mine (Area 2) 1989 Rodney Elwyn MADDOX 20 March OAKLEIGH NUMBER THREE 19 November 1990 COLLIERY, ROSEWOOD 1990 David Joseph FIRTH 15 November COLLINSVILLE COAL COMPANY NO 2 18 August 1988 UNDERGROUND MINE 1988 6 Anderson, Thomas Douglas Lawrence Findings and Recommendations The Mines Regulation Act 1964 Findings and recommendations of reviewers and mining warden following an inquiry into fatal injuries received by Thomas Douglas Lawrence Anderson at Mount Isa on 4 june 1990 warden's court of Queensland Mount Isa 2 october 1990 Before: Mr F W Windridge esquire Warden Reviewers: • MR A W SCHRANK • MR R JAMIESON • MR R H MacKENZIE • MR G H HUTCHINSON To assist: MR R A SEYMOUR, senior inspector of mines .

Findings: The inquiry has heard evidence from a number of witnesses including some who were in the immediate vicinity. From the evidence we are satisfied the deceased landed between the tracks and the first wagon passed over him. There are at least two possibilities which caused the deceased to leave the wagon. One is that due to the manner in which the locomotive and wagons were operating a surge could have caused the deceased to lose his balance. The other possibility is that the deceased voluntarily, for some reason, attempted to leave the wagon. However, we do not see that the latter situation is a real possibility as we do not consider a shunter would intend to demount in the manner reflected in the evidence from the witnesses.

  • Commonwealth of Australia Select Committee on Jobs for the Future in Regional Areas
    Commonwealth of Australia Select Committee on Jobs for the Future in Regional Areas 6 September 2019 Julia Creek | McKinlay Shire Council 1 Introduction This report is McKinlay Shire’s response to the Senate Commission’s request to provide information and insights into the future of jobs and employment opportunities in regional Australia. The report highlights several of the past, current and future challenges in regards to employment the rural community of McKinlay Shire faces. It also addresses opportunities and the need to diversify the activities to ensure continued investments in the local community. Employment opportunities have to be supported by a sustainable base of locals that is able to supply sufficient labour. In other words, population attraction and retention and renewability are essential to sustain local economic development. However, as a remote outback Shire, the forecasts of population growth are negative even in the best-case scenarios. Combined with the existential threat of natural disasters, the high levels of reliance on two volatile sectors, and sheer size of the Shire, potential investments come with a high cost and high-risk connotation which may limit private investment. In order to retain population, Council and other stakeholders should take away or reduce barriers that lead to limitations. Primary services like housing, health care, education and employment opportunities are essential in facilitating people to stay – or least preventing them from having to leave. The outback itself is appealing enough for people to stay or come and live there. As a resources and agriculture orientated Shire, we are vulnerable to external forces and threats that are beyond our control.

Signature of Candidate Date ENDORSEMENT ……………………………………... ................................... Signature of Supervisor Date ……………………………………... ................................... Signature of Supervisor Date i ABSTRACT Over the past 15 years, significant sectors of the mining industry have undertaken the Global Mining Initiative. This was followed by an extensive program called the Mining, Minerals and Sustainable Development Project. These self regulatory mechanisms require 'beyond compliance' environmental behaviour, whether companies are operating in the developed or the developing world. Reviewing case studies of gold mines operated by the 'top tier' transnational mining companies in Queensland, Papua New Guinea and Tanzania, this thesis addresses whether these and other self regulatory mechanisms are more important than formal legislation in motivating compliance with environmental laws for these mining companies. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to sincerely thank and acknowledge the many hours spent by my Principal Supervisor, Associate Professor Geoff Cockfield in developing this thesis. Dr Cockfield‘s erudite comments and suggestions were of immense value.

  • SILVER by Henry E
    SILVER By Henry E. Hilliard Domestic survey data and tables were prepared by Mahbood Mahdavi, statistical assistant, and the world production table was prepared by Glenn J. Wallace, international data coordinator. For the third consecutive year, the difference between the Production high and low prices for silver was less than $1.00 per troy ounce. This small movement in price occurred at a time when In 2001, silver was produced in the United States from global fabrication demand for silver decreased by 5% to 26,900 precious metal ores at about 30 lode mines and from base metal metric tons (t). Most of the decrease occurred in industrial ores at about 24 lode mines. More than 30 t of silver was demand, declining by more than 10% to 10,500 t. Global produced at each of 11 mines; their aggregated production photographic demand was only slightly lower, while demand equaled about 80% of total domestic production. Fewer than 10 for silver in jewelry actually increased. Except for a brief placer operations recovered silver in 2001, and the quantity period in January, when the high for the year of $4.71 per ounce recovered was less than 1% of total domestic production of was reached, the silver price drifted steadily downward in 2001 1,740 t. to a yearly average of $4.39 per ounce, 12% lower than the Greens Creek Mine.—The Greens Creek Mine, near Juneau, 2000 level.

  • A Technique for Tracking Multiphase Mineral Particles in Flotation Circuits
    XXII ENTMME / VII MSHMT – Ouro Preto-MG, November 2007. A TECHNIQUE FOR TRACKING MULTIPHASE MINERAL PARTICLES IN FLOTATION CIRCUITS Pertti Lamberg and Sergio Vianna Julius Kruttschnitt Mineral Research Centre (JKMRC), Isles Road, Indooroopilly, Brisbane, Australia E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT The relevance and value of liberation analysis for plant design and optimisation is well established. However, especially in flotation, the use of liberation information provided by image analyser systems such as the JKMRC Mineral Liberation Analyser (MLA) and QEMSCAN, has been largely concentrated on deportment (or losses) studies of valuable minerals in circuits. In addition, in all data presentation packages, liberation data are presented in a simplified fashion where multiphase particles are treated as binaries (i.e. valuable mineral plus other minerals lumped together). A more robust and rigorous approach for diagnosis, modelling and optimisation of circuits is to perform liberation analysis considering all mineral phases in particles. To this aim, a systematic methodology has been developed for reconciliation of multiphase particles. The method consists of seven steps aiming to minimize the error propagation of liberation data. The steps are as follows: 1) unsized mass balance, 2) size-by-size mass balance, 3) conversions from elemental assays to mineral quantities, 4) liberation data reconciliation, 5) particle classification and binning, 6) smoothing of liberation data, 7) mass balance of particle classes (i.e. liberation mass balance of multiphase mineral particles). The methodology has been successfully applied to flotation tests of a high-grade lead-zinc-silver ore from BHP-Billiton’s Cannington mine in Australia. The limit of the technique is discussed.
