24.01.2022 Our Premier, Mark McGowan, considering the wellbeing of all Western Australians, young and old.

24.01.2022 BHP has proposed to make significant progress in the reduction and recycling of its domestic and industrial waste and believes mining must move from a linear to a circular economy where there is an extension in the use of resources. With the support of Fundacin Chile open innovation program EXPANDE, it has launched its $10M Tailings global challenge to innovative companies, startups, consortia, research centres and universities from around the world, that seeks to promote the development of novel technologies and business models based on the concept of circular economy to repurpose tailings for a new era in mining.

23.01.2022 Research led by Professor Jacques Eksteen at Curtin University’s #WesternAustralianSchoolofMines could support the commercial development of new #gold and #platinum-group metal deposits. Sponsored by the Minerals Research Institute of Western Australia, this research focused on the undeveloped #PantonSill platinum group metal deposit in Western Australia’s Kimberley region. Despite the value of the gold, platinum and #palladium contained within this resource, the distributi...on of the mineralisation across a series of thin layers in the hard host rock make extraction using conventional technologies un-economic. The greater processing efficiency delivered by this #research could make mining of the Panton Sill viable, bringing new jobs and royalty revenue to the state and regions.

22.01.2022 MRIWA-sponsored research at the Centre for Exploration Targeting (CET) has used artificial intelligence techniques to create new ways of recognising hidden mineralisation. Led by Dr Mark Lindsay, the CET team developed innovative processing techniques to support mineral exploration by using machine learning to combine geophysical datasets into a single integrated model of the geology hidden from view beneath the Earths surface. Applied to the Eastern Yilgarn and adjacent A...lbany-Fraser Orogen regions of Western Australia where richly endowed geology is believed to lie buried beneath barren cover rocks, this technique has defined several features where valuable mineralisation may be found, including the continuation of structures known to contain the rich Gruyere gold deposit. This improved methodology will add value to heritage datasets across Western Australia and help to encourage exploration investment by reducing risk in under-explored areas where barren cover rocks may conceal deeper mineral deposits.

19.01.2022 #MRIWA-sponsored research project M0470 led by Professor Chris Kirkland at Curtin University has delivered new insight into the evolution and #mineralisation history of the emerging #Albany-Fraser mineral province in Western Australia. The researchers identified new clues to show this region shares an early history of development and mineralisation with the adjacent richly-endowed #Yilgarn Craton. The metamorphic rocks of the Albany-Fraser region formed from deformation and ...fracturing of the edge of the Yilgarn during the breakup of an ancient continent. This narrow belt of deformed rocks penetrates deep below the Earths crust, which has helped focus the flow of ore fluids into the region over time. These insights help to define areas of the Albany-Fraser region that may be more prospective for gold and nickel mineralisation, reducing exploration risk and encouraging investment in this under-explored area of Western Australia.

10.01.2022 Think this is a landscape? Its a mineral! This stunning specimen is a polished slab of blue chrysocolla, green malachite and brown iron oxides and quartz fro...m the DeGrussa copper-gold mine in WA. It is one of the many specimens from the DeGrussa mine going on display in the New Museum Origins gallery. The DeGrussa copper deposit occurs in volcanic rocks that formed on the seafloor about 2 billion years ago. Back then, the primary minerals were mainly sulphides. But millions of years after it formed, this ore became uncovered at the Earths surface. What happened then? Exposure to water and oxygen transformed the primary sulphides into a colourful blanket of secondary minerals like malachite, chrysocolla, cuprite and copper. Cool, right?

10.01.2022 Congratulations to former MRIWA Chair, Denise Goldsworthy on being appointed as an Officer of the Order of Australia (AO) as part of the Queens Birthday 2020 Honours list. Denise was recognised for distinguished service to business, particularly to technological innovation and research in the mining and manufacturing sectors. MRIWA congratulates Denise and thanks her for her impact on minerals research during her time as member and Chair of our Board.

09.01.2022 Its business as usual albeit in different surroundings but the MRIWA team is proud to be able to remain focused on delivering innovation to the mining sector in Western Australia. In an important development for the local industry, a recent study by WA scientific institute ChemCentre, released to the public today as MRIWA report M0451, has shown that internationally-recognised test procedures are able to measure the long-term environmental behaviour of mineral by-product ma...terials under our states unique climatic conditions. Large volumes of mineral by-products are produced by Western Australian industry every year. Without an understanding of how they might interact with local soil, water, and climate over time, these materials are today largely isolated in growing stockpiles. Using the approach developed by Dr Black and her team at ChemCentre will assist in predicting the long-term environmental behaviour of these industrial residues and could help some of them be turned into valuable local resources for construction, landfill, and similar uses.

08.01.2022 New technology developed in MRIWA-sponsored research project M449 could make it easier and cheaper to record rock properties during the most common type of exploratory drilling used in the Western Australian mining industry. Designed and built by industrial research house Globaltech Corporation, the prototype instrument can host a range of electronic sensors to automatically measure rock properties and is robust enough to be rapidly deployed while drilling is still in proces...s. When fully implemented, this new technology will allow the processes of drilling and logging holes to be combined in a single operation, providing miners with a more rapid and efficient means of measuring and recording the character of different rock horizons, and speeding up decision-making during mineral exploration.

06.01.2022 The results of MRIWA research project M0436 provide a new approach to using chemical and isotopic markers in groundwater, soil, and rocks to help find economic ore deposits buried deep beneath the surface. This research shows that the natural groundwater and non-mineralised rocks surrounding some ore bodies contain distinctive chemical signatures associated with the mineral deposit. When applied to under-explored areas of Western Australias Capricorn region this new explorat...ion approach has helped identify the potential of undiscovered ore systems lying buried beneath the surface. This method may encourage further mineral exploration investment in many parts of Western Australia where ancient rocks known to host world-class ore deposits are covered by later rocks that shield the richly-endowed geology from view.

02.01.2022 #MRIWA-sponsored research at the industrial research company #Mining3 shows changing the type of explosives used could make underground mining safer for workers and reduce its impact on the environment. While essential in modern mining, nitrogen-based #explosives produce a range of undesirable by-products, including #nitrate pollution and toxic carbon monoxide and nitrogen gas compounds that pose significant safety management issues for mine workers. The Mining3 team have s...hown that replacing conventional explosives with compounds based on hydrogen peroxide can dramatically reduce these risks. If these promising results are replicated in further planned trials, widespread adoption of hydrogen peroxide-based explosives could substantially increase safety and reduce operational costs in Western Australias mining industry.
