The review has taken into account updated long term metal price, foreign exchange and cost assumptions, and mining and metallurgy performance to inform cut-off grades and physical mining parameters. This has resulted in the most marginal ounces being removed from the portfolio and these are reflected in changes to Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves. Group Mineral Resources As at 31 December 2014, Group Mineral Resources are estimated to contain 140 million ounces of gold, 20 million tonnes of copper and 130 million ounces of silver. This represents a decrease of approximately 8 million ounces of gold (~5%), 0.4 million tonnes of copper (~2%) and 1 million ounces of silver (~1%), compared with the estimate as at 31 December 2013.

Fergusson University of Wollongong, [email protected] R A. Henderson James Cook University Publication Details Fergusson, C. L. & Henderson, R. A. (2015).

Research Online is the open access institutional repository for the University of Wollongong. For further information contact the UOW Library: [email protected] Early Palaeozoic continental growth in the Tasmanides of northeast Gondwana and its implications for Rodinia assembly and rifting Abstract Gondwana formed in the Neoproterozoic to Cambrian mainly from collision along the East African and Kuunga orogens at about the same time that the Gondwana palaeo-Pacific facing margin became a long-lived active margin and formed the Terra Australis Orogen. This orogen, and in particular the Tasman Orogenic Belt (the Tasmanides) sector of eastern Australia, is distinguished by widespread shortening of quartz turbidite successions and underlying oceanic basement, with less abundant island arc assemblages. Early Palaeozoic accretionary development of the Tasmanides followed Rodinia breakup at 800-750 Ma to form the palaeo-Pacific cO ean. In eastern Australia, a second rifting episode at 600-580 Ma is more widely developed with siliciclastic sedimentation and rift-related igneous activity. In parts of the Delamerian Orogen of South Australia and northwestern New South Wales and in the exposed northern Thomson Orogen of north and central Queensland, the rift-related sedimentary successions have a dominant 1.3 to 1 Ga detrital zircon age signature implying local sources.

  • Long Term Landscape Evolution of the Western Australian Shield
    Joe Jennings: Father of modern Australian geomorphology BRAD PILLANS Research School of Earth Sciences, The Australian National University, Canberra, ACT, 0200, Australia ([email protected]) Joe Jennings was appointed to the Geography Department at the Australian National University (ANU) in 1953, and over the next three decades he had a profound and lasting effect on Australian geomorphology. Although best remembered as a karst geomorphologist, Joe had wide-ranging research interests and boundless enthusiasm for the entire discipline of geomorphology. Nowhere is this better evidenced than in the graduate students he supervised (with year of completion in brackets), including Eric Bird (1959), Nel Caine (1966), Ian Douglas (1966), Martin Williams (1969), Jim Bowler (1970), Bud Frank (1972), John Chappell (1973), Colin Pain (1973), Ross Coventry (1973), Chris Whitaker (1976), Joyce Lundberg (1976) and David Gillieson (1982). As a PhD student of John Chappell, and therefore an academic grandson of Joe, I was privileged to know him in the late 1970’s and early 1980’s at ANU. In this paper I have constructed a “family tree” of Joe’s academic descendents. Introduction Joseph Newell Jennings (1916-1984), or Joe to everyone who knew him (Fig. 1), was appointed to the fledgling Geography Department at the Australian National University (ANU) in 1953, and over the next three decades he had a profound and lasting effect on Australian geomorphology. Joe is best remembered as a karst geomorphologist, but in fact he had wide-ranging research interests and boundless enthusiasm for the entire discipline of geomorphology - see obituary and publication list in Spate & Spate (1985).

  • REFORMING AUSTRALIAN SHIELD LAWS Press Freedom Policy Papers
    Press Freedom Policy Papers Reform Briefing 2/2021 Anna Kretowicz REFORMING AUSTRALIAN SHIELD LAWS Press Freedom Policy Papers SUMMARY KEY POINTS • Shield laws allow journalists to maintain the confidentiality of information that would disclose the identity of a confidential source. • Shield laws are necessary to enable a free flow of information between members of the public and the news media. Sources, including whistleblowers, are less likely to supply the media with information if they believe that journalists will be unable to maintain their anonymity. • The scope of the protection conferred by Australia’s existing shield laws varies between different jurisdictions. This is in part due to the absence of a uniform definition of ‘journalist’. • In most Australian jurisdictions, shield laws do not prevent law enforcement agencies from accessing a journalist’s confidential information under a regular search and seizure warrant. REFORM CONSIDERATIONS • Shield laws should be harmonised nationwide. • Shield laws should be extended to police investigations. • The terms ‘journalist’ and ‘news medium’ should be defined in a consistent and broad way in order to maximise the protection of confidential sources in the modern media environment. law.uq.edu.au/research/press-freedom 2 Press Freedom Policy Papers REFORMING AUSTRALIAN SHIELD LAWS Reform Briefing 2/2021 “Journalists are bound by their code of ethics not to disclose sources, and to demand that they do is asking them to break a covenant recognised the world over as crucial to uncovering misconduct – when authorities would prefer the public to stay in the dark.”1 - The Board of the National Press Club of Australia This statement was released the day after the that could identify a source.
