Valley community. Callide mine is committed to continuing to partner with As the largest employer and a major stakeholder in the Callide stakeholders to further develop the Callide Valley community. Valley, the Callide management team, employees and contractors are committed to our Social Licence to Operate within the Callide Valley and Banana Shire through our continued support of local enterprise, sponsorship of local community groups and community relations. Stakeholders have acknowledged the positive influence Anglo American continues to have on Callide Valley communities. Our contributions to community clubs, organisations and events have been very well received and have allowed these groups to continue to contribute to the liveability and sustainability of the Clarence Robertson Callide Valley. Callide mine General Manager CALLIDE MINE SEAT REPORT 1 INTRODUCTION This report presents findings from a study that commenced in 2014 to assess the socio-economic impacts of Callide mine. Anglo American’s Socio-Economic Assessment Toolbox (SEAT) Version 3 was used as the framework for this study. BACKGROUND REPORT STRUCTURE The SEAT process has been developed by Anglo American to The first section of this report consists of an introduction to the enable its mines to engage with stakeholders, and identify and SEAT process used by Anglo American sites globally. It sets out understand the socio-economic impacts of its mining activities the objectives and the approach applied, as well as identifying on surrounding local communities. This engagement process the stakeholders engaged during Callide’s SEAT assessment. aims to provide knowledge and guidance on how to improve Callide’s operations and local Callide Valley communities are Anglo American’s performance on identified key social issues profiled, followed by a section showcasing the existing social and to strengthen relationships with community stakeholders. management initiatives and key community investments made Underpinning the SEAT philosophy is the acknowledgement within the Callide Valley over the past three years. that good corporate citizenship is a core Anglo American value. Finally, Callide’s socio-economic impacts, both positive and Our commitment is to make a valuable contribution to the negative, on these local communities are presented and the communities in which we operate, not only through job creation, key social management focus areas for the 2015–2017 period but by supporting and working with stakeholders to help create a are identified. sustainable structure in our community. To accomplish this, Anglo American: • Engages in a variety of community projects that reflect local priorities, sustainability and cost effectiveness, and add value to the community. • Commits to regular engagement with the community on issues which concern them in all phases of our operations. • Undertakes to report on the social dimension of our operations. 2 CALLIDE MINE SEAT REPORT OBJECTIVES AND APPROACH OBJECTIVES The seven steps of the SEAT process are as follows: The core objectives of the SEAT process are to: • Provide guidance and support for achieving full compliance STEP 1: PROFILE THE ANGLO AMERICAN with the Social Way – Anglo American’s framework of CALLIDE OPERATIONS. requirements for social performance management during project development and closure. • Identify key social and economic impacts and issues that need to be managed and, thereby, improve risk management. • Assess existing social performance initiatives and identify STEP 2: PROFILE AND ENGAGE WITH where improvements are required.

  • Gold in Central Queensland
    73 GOLD OCCURRENCES IN CENTRAL QUEENSLAND Extract from the Queensland Mining Guide No attempt is made in this portion of the Mining Guide to deal with the past history of the various mining fields or to describe the many mines being worked in the State. The object rather is to show - both to the individual prospector and to the mining investor - some of the mining possibilities of each of the districts mentioned, passing reference being made to particular mines in certain cases only. Slight reference only has been made to geological features. The relative importance of deposits and districts mentioned cannot be gauged by the lengths of the references in these notes. On many of the old fields the conditions are well known, or can be ascertained at the main centres. Special attention has been drawn to some of the lesser known fields. Any person or company desirous of obtaining further details in relation to any of the nines, deposits, or localities referred to should communicate with the Department of Natural Resources, Mines and Energy Brisbane, or with the nearest Warden, Inspector of Mines, or District Geologist. General area covered by this report The Reworking of Deposits The fact that certain ore-bodies were worked years ago and were abandoned does not necessarily imply that such deposits cannot be worked profitably under different conditions. The metal market is always a primary factor in deciding the success or 1:250 000 scale maps failure of mining ventures. The utilization of First edition 1968/75 modern methods of mining and treatment may bring renewed life to some mines.

  • 4.0 Overview of the Regional Surface and Subsurface Geology of the Duaringa Basin
    Duaringa Basin Report on Hydrological Investigations 4.0 Overview of the Regional Surface and Subsurface Geology of the Duaringa Basin 4.1 Introduction The surface geology of the Duaringa Basin project site and surrounding environment is characterised by the surface exposures of the Tertiary age Duaringa Formation sediments and surrounding exposures of the Permian age sediments (Figure 4.1). The Duaringa Formation is composed of interbedded mudstones, shale, oil shale siltstone and lignite beds and rare sandstone, conglomerate and basalt beds (Day et al., 1983). The Permian age sediments are part of the Bowen Basin stratigraphic sequence. The overlying Tertiary age Duaringa Formation does not form part of the formal Bowen Basin stratigraphic sequence. The surface exposures of the Duaringa Formation can be differentiated into recent exposures and older lateritic tablelands. There are also some small outcrops of Tertiary age volcanics exposed through the Tertiary age and Permian age sediments present in and near the Duaringa Basin. The significant rivers, such as the Mackenzie River and Dawson River, which traverse the Duaringa Basin, have deposited large volumes of alluvial sediment in broad braided plains on both the Duaringa Formation and Permian age sediments. The Duaringa Basin along with the Biloela Basin and Hillsborough Basin formed during the opening of the Coral Sea during the Eocene between 52 and 34 million years ago (SRK, 2008). These basins are bounded by NE to SW trending bounding faults along their western margins. Movement along these faults is largely sinistal (left lateral). However, there has been significant downward movement on the eastern side of the fault blocks, which has opened deep asymmetrical grabens (Veevers and Powell, 1994).

Gas Transmission Pipeline Environmental Values and Management of Impacts\7-2 Climate\07 02 Climate (Section 7.2) FINAL Public.doc GLNG Project - Environmental Impact Statement 7.2 Climate 7.2.1 Introduction This section discusses local climate characteristics, seasonal conditions and potential extreme climatic events including cyclones, flooding, drought and bushfires within the gas transmission pipeline corridor. Non climate associated hazards and risks are described in Section 10. 7.2.2 Existing Environmental Values The climate for the gas transmission pipeline corridor ranges from an inland sub-tropical climate along the western section (within the CSG fields), with cold winters and hot summers; to the wet-dry regime characterised by high summer rainfall and dry winter conditions at the eastern extent on Curtis Island. The climate of the CSG fields and LNG facility study areas is described in detail within Sections 6.2 and 8.2 respectively. This section considers the climate for the central area of the gas transmission pipeline corridor and utilises meteorological data collected at Biloela (a site operated by the Department of Primary Industries and Fisheries (DPIF)), and Thangool Airport and Baralaba Post Office (operated by the Bureau of Meteorology (BOM)). These sites are located approximately half way along the 435 km gas transmission pipeline corridor as shown in Figure 7.2.1, and indicate the local climatic conditions within this area of the pipeline corridor.
