The estimates are derived from block models as follows: KHN is an update of the 2006 ordinary kriged (OK) block model and includes data from additional resource and grade control drillholes. The 2007 TKN ordinary kriged block model replaces the 2006 ordinary kriged (OK) block model following significant infill and extension resource drilling. TKS is the 2007 ordinary kriged block model and replaces the 2004 multiple indicator kriged (MIK) block model after a phase of infill resource drilling. A further program of significant infill and extensional drilling is currently in progress at TKS and an updated estimate of this resource is planned for 2008. The ordinary kriged resource estimate of mineralisation at Phabing is a new estimate for 2007 and represents additional Inferred supergene resources in the Sepon District. Section 1 of this statement presents the copper resources categorised by the style of mineralisation, being either supergene or primary (tables 1-3). The competent persons’ statements for each of the estimates are included at Sections 2 to 5 where the total resources for each Copper Deposit are tabulated. 1.2 Mineral Resource Categories and Tabulation Supergene and primary resource estimates are classified in the categories specified in the 2004 JORC Code and reported at several appropriate cut-off grades that approximate those employed at the operating Khanong mine. Resources are included in Tables 1-3. 1.3 Contributing Experts The following identifies the key personnel involved in the estimation of the Sepon Copper Resources. A full listing of all involved can be seen in Sections 2 to 5 where details of the estimates are documented: Page 2 Oxiana Limited 2007 Mineral Resource Explanatory Notes KHN – All grade control data was sourced and validated by LXML geologists. Geological interpretations and geostatistical analyses were performed by Duncan Hackman of Hackman and Associates Pty Ltd (HA). Geostatistical analysis was conducted by Arnold van der Heyden of Hellman and Schofield Pty Ltd (HS) and grade interpolations were performed by HA. TKN – Drillhole data was sourced, validated and the geological interpretation and domaining were undertaken by LXML geologists and Kerrin Allwood of Geomodelling Pty Ltd (GM). Geostatisitical analysis, resource modelling and grade interpolation were conducted by Mark Sweeney and Tracie Burrows of AMC Consultants (AMC). TKS – Drillhole data was sourced and validated by LXML geologists and Kerrin Allwood of Geomodelling Pty Ltd (GM). Geological interpretation, domaining of the data and grade interpolation was performed by GM. Geostatisitical analysis was conducted by Steve Hyland of Ravensgate Pty Ltd (RG). PHB – Drillhole data was sourced and validated by LXML geologists. Geological interpretation and domaining for grade estimation was conducted by LXML geologists and Jared Broome (Oxiana Limited). Grade interpolation was undertaken by Jared Broome. Compliance with the JORC Code This statement of mineral resources complies with the 2004 Australasian Code for the Reporting of Resources and Reserves (2004 JORC Code). Sections 2 to 5 of this statement describes the factors considered in estimating and assigning resource categories under the code, following the format of Table 1 of the 2004 JORC Code. Comparisons between the 2007 and 2006 estimates for the deposits are also documented along with risks identified in the resource estimate. The Competent Persons (as defined in the 2004 JORC Code) endorsing these statements of mineral resources are, for: KHN – Duncan Hackman (HA), who has over 22 years experience as a geologist in mining and exploration, which includes fifteen years experience in resource estimation and six years experience in supergene copper deposits. TKN & TKS - Paul Quigley (LXML) who has over 19 years experience as a geologist in mining and exploration, which includes 11 years experience in resource estimation and 7 years experience in sediment-hosted gold deposits. He also has substantial knowledge of the matters relating to supergene copper estimation, mine production, and reconciliation, and as such is responsible for data integrity, geological interpretation and resource classification. PHB – Jared Broome and Antony Manini (Oxiana Limited). Jared Broome has over 15 years experience as a geologist in mining and exploration, which includes 12 years experience in resource estimation. Antony Manini has over 25 years experience as a geologist in mining and exploration, which includes over 10 years experience in supergene copper deposits.

Established in 2019, the consortium is a multi-party, industry-university research collaboration challenging accepted industry norms and practices around mine closure and demanding new approaches placing people at the centre of closure. Industry partners in the consortium include: Anglo American, BHP, MMG, Newcrest, Newmont Corporation, Oceana Gold and Rio Tinto. The initiative falls under the SMI’s Transforming Mine Lifecycles cross-cutting program. CSRM is grateful to the organisations, companies, and key personnel who facilitated the case studies including Northern Star Resources, Desert Support Services, Newmont Corporation Tanami Operations, Central Land Council, Newmont Corporation Legacy Manager, Northern Land Council, Rusca Bros Services, Rio Tinto Weipa Operations.

  • The Mining Industry: from Bust to Boom
    2011-08 Reserve Bank of Australia RESEARCH DISCUSSION PAPER Th e Mining Industry: From Bust to Boom Ellis Connolly and David Orsmond RDP 2011-08 Reserve Bank of Australia Economic Research Department THE MINING INDUSTRY: FROM BUST TO BOOM Ellis Connolly and David Orsmond Research Discussion Paper 2011-08 December 2011 Economic Analysis Department Reserve Bank of Australia This paper was first presented at the Reserve Bank of Australia Conference on ‘The Australian Economy in the 2000s’ at the H.C. Coombs Centre for Financial Studies, Kirribilli, on 15–16 August 2011. We would like to thank our colleagues at the RBA and participants at the Conference for their helpful comments. The views expressed are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of the Reserve Bank of Australia. Responsibility for any remaining errors rests with us. Authors: connollye and orsmondd at domain rba.gov.au Media Office: [email protected] Abstract The Australian mining industry experienced a remarkable turnaround during the 2000s. The rapid growth of emerging economies in Asia drove a surge in demand for commodities, particularly those used in steel and energy generation. With global supply unable to respond quickly, prices surged to historically high levels. In response, mining investment in Australia rose to record levels as a share of the economy by the end of the decade. The rise in commodity prices has boosted activity and incomes and encouraged the factors of production to shift towards the mining industry. The boom has also been associated with a large increase in the real exchange rate, affecting trade-exposed industries.
