AIR QUALITY in MOUNT ISA Community Information About Air Fifth Edition, July 2018 AIR QUALITY IN MOUNT ISA Community information about air quality management at Mount Isa Mines Mount Isa is one of Australia’s most successful mining towns, with a demonstrated coexistence between industry and community. Air Quality in Mount Isa As modern regulations and accepted science evolve, so does Mount Isa Mines. Mount Isa is one of the most mineral-rich regions in the world.

  • From Base Metals and Back – Isamills and Their Advantages in African Base Metal Operations
    The Southern African Institute of Mining and Metallurgy Base Metals Conference 2013 H. de Waal, K. Barns, and J. Monama From base metals and back – IsaMills and their advantages in African base metal operations H. de Waal, K. Barns, and J. Monama Xstrata IsaMill™ technology was developed from Netzsch Feinmahltechnik GmbH stirred milling technology in the early 1990s to bring about a step change in grinding efficiency that was required to make Xstrata’s fine-grained lead/zinc orebodies economic to process. From small-scale machines suited to ultrafine grinding, the IsaMill™ has developed into technology that is able to treat much larger tonnages, in coarser applications, while still achieving high energy efficiency, suited for coarser more standard regrind and mainstream grinding applications. The unique design of the IsaMillTM, combining high power intensity and effective internal classification, achieves high energy efficiency and tight product distribution which can be effectively scaled from laboratory scale to full-sized models. The use of fine ceramic media also leads to significant benefits in downstream flotation and leaching operations. These benefits are key drivers for the adoption of the technology into processing a diverse range of minerals worldwide, and offer major opportunities for power reduction and improved metallurgy for the African base metal operations. Keywords: IsaMill, regrind, energy efficiency, inert grinding. Introduction The development of the IsaMillTM, by MIM (now GlencoreXstrata) and Netzsch Feinmahltechnik GmbH, was initiated to enable the development of the fine-grained ore deposits at Mt Isa and McArthur River in Northern Australia. To liberate the valuable minerals and so produce a saleable concentrate this ultrafine-grained ore needed to be ground to a P80 of 7 μm.

  • Grained Pyrite in the Mount Isa Copper System
    Trace Element Variation of Coarse- Grained Pyrite in the Mount Isa Copper System Thesis submitted in accordance with the requirements of the University of Adelaide for an Honours Degree in Geology Shauna Maguire-Olstad November 2016 Shauna Maguire-Olstad Mt. Isa Coarse-grained Pyrite TRACE ELEMENT VARIATIONOF COARSE-GRAINED PYRITE IN THE MOUNT ISA COPPER SYSTEM MT.ISA COARSE-GRAINED PYRITE ABSTRACT The unique Mount Isa system, northwest Queensland, contains two world class deposits of copper and lead-zinc, which have a complex spatial relationship. The formation of the copper mineralization has long been debated, and occurs in a close spatial and temporal association with silica-dolomite alteration and coarse-grained pyrite (Pyrite 2). The geochemical characteristics of coarse-grained pyrite has not previously been studied and it is believed to hold valuable insight into the fluid evolution of the Mount Isa Copper System. Using LA-ICP-MS analysis, trace element variation of Pyrite 2 was investigated for numerous elements including Ag, As, Ba, Co, Cu, Mo, Ni, Pb and Zn across an explorative transect (drill hole 0406ED2), which passed through the alteration halo of the 1100 orebody. The trace element composition of Pyrite 2 was not consistent throughout the 0406ED2 transect and it does not appear to be controlled by host lithology. The analysis determined the Pyrite 2 grains formed during, or in close association with, the ore-mineral enriched hydrothermal fluid. Pyrite 2 data is consistent with the Mount Isa system having undergone multiple hydrothermal fluid events or from an evolving hydrothermal fluid. The trace element variation of Pyrite 2 is consistent with the currently established paragenesis and is indicative of the concurrent Cu, Pb and Zn mineralising system formed during protracted hydrothermal events.

Outback TV Background To a significant extent the Australian outback was opened up and developed through self reliance and homesteads and communities helping each other. It is no surprise then that the same happened with the development of free-to-air television reception in the outback. In the years since the first Aussat analogue satellite free-to-air TV services launched in 1985 to be replaced by the Aurora digital satellite platform in 1997 some 460 community groups pooled local resources and developed so called self-help analog TV transmission facilities to terrestrially retransmit the free-to-air TV channels that were available from the satellite. Including the regional and metropolitan areas of Australia there are around 700 self-help analog television sites in Australia operating in the order of 2,800 analog transmitters or roughly 50% to 60% more than those operated by all the commercial free-to-air broadcasters and the ABC and SBS put together. It is therefore somewhat ironic and bewildering that a new free-to-air digital satellite platform called VAST was developed between January 2009 and March 2010 by the broadcasters, DBCDE and Optus that no one thought to consult anyone of those 700 self-help analog television licensees.

  • Isamill™ Technology Used in Efficient Grinding Circuits
    1 IsaMill™ Technology Used in Efficient Grinding Circuits B.D. Burford1 and L.W. Clark2 High intensity stirred milling is now an industry accepted method to efficiently grind fine and coarse particles. In particular, the IsaMill™, which was invented for, and transformed the fine grinding industry, is now being included in many new comminution circuits in coarser applications. While comminution has always been regarded as important from a processing perspective, the pressure being applied by environmental concerns on all large scale power users, now make highly energy efficient processes more important than ever. The advantages that were developed in fine grinding in the early IsaMill™ installations have been carried over into coarse grinding applications. These advantages include a simple grinding circuit that operates in open circuit with a small footprint, the ability to offer sharp product size classification, as well as the use of inert media in a high energy intensive environment. This paper will examine the use of IsaMill™ technology in fine grinding (P80 below 15 micron), and examine the use of the technology in conventional grinding applications (P80 20 - 150 µm). Recent installations will be examined, including fine and coarse grinding applications, as well as the recent test work that was undertaken using an IsaMill™ in a primary grinding circuit, and the resulting circuit proposal for this site. While comminution has been relatively unchanged for the last century, the need to install energy efficient technology will promote further growth in IsaMill™ installations, and result in one of the biggest challenges to traditional comminution design. 1.

Gibson, Research School of Earth Sciences, Australian National University, Canberra ACT 6 2601, Australia 7 Sally Edwards, Geological Survey of Queensland, Department of Natural Resources, Mines and Energy, 8 Brisbane, Queensland 4000, Australia 9 Abstract 10 As host to several world-class sediment-hosted Pb-Zn deposits and unknown quantities of conventional and 11 unconventional gas, the variably inverted 1730-1640 Ma Calvert and 1640-1580 Ma Isa superbasins of 12 northern Australia have been the subject of numerous seismic reflection studies with a view to better 13 understanding basin architecture and fluid migration pathways. Strikingly similar structural architecture 14 has been reported from much younger inverted sedimentary basins considered prospective for oil and gas 15 elsewhere in the world. Such similarities suggest that the mineral and petroleum systems in Paleo- 16 Mesoproterozoic northern Australia may have spatially and temporally overlapped consistent with the 17 observation that basinal sequences hosting Pb-Zn mineralisation in northern Australia are bituminous or 18 abnormally enriched in hydrocarbons. This points to the possibility of a common tectonic driver and shared 19 fluid pathways. Sediment-hosted Pb-Zn mineralisation coeval with basin inversion first occurred during the 20 1650-1640 Ma Riversleigh Tectonic Event towards the close of the Calvert Superbasin with further pulses 21 accompanying the 1620-1580 Ma Isa Orogeny which brought about closure of the Isa Superbasin.
