24.01.2022 MINING WORKERS NEEDED An increasing skills shortage is threatening to adversely impact on billions of dollars in mining and resources investment, prompting industry leaders to call on the WA Government to relax its restrictions on overseas workers. Chamber of Commerce and Industry WA chief executive Chris Rodwell warned the recovering WA economy will grind to a halt without an influx of skilled labor, while the head of a national recruitment firm said the number of Pilbara vacancies was already in the hundreds and growing every week. More than $75 billion of new WA mining and resources projects are poised to create tens of thousands of jobs over the next few years but with apprenticeships and traineeships both in decline, there is no one to fill them.

23.01.2022 GOLD MINING JOBS Greatland Gold has generated more interest in the Paterson Province in Western Australia after announcing good results from its latest round of drilling in the region. The explorer has described assay results from the first hole of its current drilling campaign at the Paterson project as exceptional. The hole produced a total intercept of 275m at an average of 4.77g/t of gold and 0.61 per cent copper. Greatland’s results are from a drilling campaign at the Ha...vieron prospect, one of three licences at its Paterson project, which is about 40km east of Newcrest’s Telfer gold mine in the Pilbara. These results came from two wide zones of mineralization, which included a 118m upper zone at 3.08g/t gold and 0.84 per cent copper and a 157m lower zone at 6.04g/t gold and 0.44 per cent copper. The strength of these grades has extended mineralization and introduced a new peak gold of 211.3g/t, which is significantly higher than the previous figure of 137.69g/t. The drilling also saw the peak copper figure more than double to 8.45 per cent from the previous high of 4.11 per cent. See more

18.01.2022 AUSTRALIAN LITHIUM The Australian Government looks ready to play a part in helping the country capitalize on its potential as a manufacturer of lithium-ion batteries. Western Australia now has seven producing lithium mines after Altura Mining opened its Pilgangoora operation in the Pilbara during September. The state accounts for around half of global lithium supply, guided by the Greenbushes mine in the South West region, the world’s largest operation. Despite dominating thi...s part of the supply chain, plans to use local lithium for battery manufacturing purposes have been limited. The Australian Government has, however, indicated it will now help to maximize this potential as a lithium-ion battery manufacturer. This week Austrade’s Lithium-ion Battery Value Chain strategy was launched showing Australia is well positioned to become a world leader in this developing market. It is at least 10 per cent cheaper to convert spodumene (which is mined in Western Australia) to lithium hydroxide than the brine mined in South America. It is time Australia took advantage of the booming lithium industry. Lithium prices have tripled since 2010 and global battery consumption is predicted to increase five-fold in the next 10 years, driven by a global shift to electric vehicles in some markets and off-grid storage to support renewable energy development.

17.01.2022 ZINC JOBS Sun Metals Corporation will deliver hundreds of jobs to Queensland following state government approval of a $300 million expansion to its refinery near Townsville. Sun Metals owner Korea Zinc Company will invest $300 million in the refinery, enabling an increase to annual production of 50,000 tonnes to 270,000 tonnes. About 30 per cent of the site’s electricity needs will be provided by a $200 million solar farm opened by Sun Metals in August. To enable this, around 350 jobs are expected to be filled during construction of the expansion, followed by another 100 permanent operational jobs once the expansion is completed in the first half of 2021.

Four projects in the Illawarra, three in the Central West and two in the Gunnedah region are also predicted to create almost $5.5 billion in combined investment and close to 6000 jobs. See more

11.01.2022 NICKEL MINING JOBS BHP Nickel West’s proposal to build and operate a new nickel sulphide mine near Leinster in Western Australia has been approved by the state’s Environmental Protection Authority. The company plans to integrate the satellite mine into the Mt Keith operation, extending its mine life by 12 years. The proposed Mt Keith project is anticipated to generate around 9.6 million tonnes of nickel ore per year. It is part of BHP Nickel West’s plan to transition into a g...lobally significant battery materials supplier. The company also forecasts that around 90 per cent of its sales will be made up of its battery materials sector by fourth quarter 2019. This is the first in a series of WA-based mine developments BHP has planned to strengthen supply to the battery materials sector. See more

The project will involve 11 kilometres of underground development, an u...nderground primary crusher, conveying systems and associated infrastructure. Northparkes will employ up to 180 people, including a mix of employees and contractors, at the peak of project construction. See more

07.01.2022 IRON ORE JOBS Rio Tinto is on track to begin construction of the Koodaideri iron ore mine in the Pilbara, Western Australia next year after approving an AUD $3.5 billion investment in the project. The miner plans to start production at Koodaideri, around 35 kilometres from its Yandicoogina iron ore site, in late 2021. With an estimated capacity of 43 million tonnes a year, it is poised to become Rio Tinto’s next major Pilbara hub and will integrate extensive automation and d...igitization technologies. The project is also set to increase the higher-value lump component of Rio Tinto’s Pilbara Blend by around 3 per cent to 38 per cent at a capital spend of roughly $60/t. Rio Tinto has emphasized a ‘value over volume’ approach to Koodaideri, delivering low-cost, high-quality iron ore to overseas markets, particularly China. Its phase one construction works will include mine infrastructure, support facilities, accomodation, road access, rail spur and an airport. Koodaideri is expected to create over 2000 construction jobs and 600 permanent operational jobs over its 30-year lifespan. See more
