CASE STUDY Whitsunday STEM Challenge The BHP Whitsunday STEM Challenge was introduced to inspire and encourage secondary students to consider science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) fields. The inaugural event included an 18-hour Human Powered Vehicle (HPV) Challenge, the first time anything of this magnitude has been seen in North Queensland. The HPV event provided students with the opportunity to engage in practical STEM learning, while honing their leadership and teamwork skills. The event also provided collaboration opportunities for local businesses and schools.

    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.

    Central Queensland El Niño – Southern Oscillation Other Climate Drivers

    Northern Australia Climate Program CLIMATE SAVVY FOR GRAZING MANAGEMENT Central Queensland El Niño – Southern Oscillation Other Climate Drivers What: ENSO has two active phases, El Niño and La Niña, and an inactive or neutral phase. When: Any time between June (start) to April (end). Main impacts of ENSO are usually from December to March. Events Madden-Julian Oscillation can span multiple years, which is more common with La Niña events. Where: Entire region, but increased impacts more likely near coast. What: A large band of clouds that influence alternating wet/dry conditions during the wet/summer season. The MJO can increase the availability of moisture in the area during an MJO ‘wet’ phase, leading to an increased chance of rain. How: El Niño tends to cause warmer days and less rainfall, fewer cyclones, and increase risk of spring frosts due to clear nights. La Niña tends to cause wetter weather, increased humidity, and an increased risk of cyclones and flooding. When: Year-round, but mainly during wet season (December to April). Day time temperatures are usually lower due to cloud cover. Where: Mostly in the tropics, but influence can extend into sub-tropics. Prediction lead time: How: Impact varies by season and location. About 2-3 months for a more reliable forecast, up to 6 months in advance for an indication of a possible ENSO event. We start looking for a possible ENSO event in April/May, but become more confident in the forecast in June/July. Period Wet Phases Dry Phases Note: There is a ‘prediction gap’ from about January to April when it is very difficult to know whether or not an June, July, August (minimal impact) 4 7 ENSO will develop in the coming winter.

This publication is an assessment of one recent domestic contribution to that debate – ASIC’s Regulatory Guide 247 Effective disclosure in an operating and financial review (RG 247) issued in March 2013. A year on, listed companies are applying RG 247, with many making additional and better quality disclosures about operations, financial position, business strategies and prospects for future financial years in the operating and financial reviews included in annual reports. However, there continues to be opportunities for companies to enhance these disclosures. Indeed, there are opportunities for companies to improve the corporate reporting suite more generally so as to better tell their own value creation story, providing a clear explanation of “Good corporate reporting has an important role to play in helping to restore the trust their business model, value drivers and risks, and their prospects for the future. that has been lost.

    Mining in Conflicted Lands

    Lessons learned from Case Studies of InternationalInternational Investment Financial in Extractive Flows and Land-use Industries and the Environment Best Practices for Transnational Investment in Extractive and Land Use Sectors School of International Service American University Foreword With the wave of globalization and the empowerment of civil societies around the world, foreign investment has become an increasingly important issue due to the inherent social and environmental impacts that foreign companies inflict upon the local communities in which they operate. The results of foreign investment are complicated: some investment improves local economic, environmental, and social conditions, while other investment leads to tensions between transnational companies and local communities. There are currently few broadly agreed-upon standards that guide how foreign companies should invest and behave in host countries in order to achieve not only business benefits, but also social responsibility and environmental sustainability. This portfolio of best and worst practices of foreign investment exhibits both positive and negative cases of foreign investment. This document is the cooperative product of the World Resources Institute (WRI) and the American University (AU) practicum team. IFFE’s Senior Associate, Mr. Hu Tao, and Research Analyst, Denise Leung, worked closely with the practicum team to develop the project. The AU practicum team consisted of professors Dr. Ken Conca and Dr. Judy Shapiro and eleven graduate students: Stephanie DaCosta, Kristin DeValue, Hilary Kirwan, Lauren Lane, John Noel, Sebastian O’Connor, Schuyler Olsson, Jen Richmond, Natnari Sihawong, Toussaint Webster, and Yuxi Zhao. In March 2013, the AU practicum team travelled to Beijing, China, to present their initial research and coordinate with a WRI partner research team from Beijing Normal University.
