23.01.2022 It is with great sadness that we acknowledge the life of esteemed WA School of Mines Alumni member Barry Patterson who recently passed away. Barry had a long and distinguished career in the resources industry while maintaining strong connections to WASM and the Alumni. Along with fellow WASM graduates, Barry established world-renowned contract mining services organisation Eltin Ltd. He also co-founded Australian Mine Management, National Mine Management and JR Engineering S...ervices and spent 20 years working for WMC Resources. Barry offered mentoring and career opportunities to numerous WASM students and graduates as well as financial contributions to the school. Together with the other Eltin founders, Barry helped to arrange funds for the WASM Student Guild Building. In 2019, Barry was presented with the WASMA High Achiever Award in recognition of his outstanding contributions to the Alumni and the broader resources industry. Many WASM graduates are extremely grateful to Barry for getting their start in the resources industry. WASMA extends its condolences to Glenice, Keli, Donna, Kristy, Nikki and family. #wasma #wasm

21.01.2022 WASM has been awarded a Research Training Program (RTP) Scholarship for a student to join Curtin/WASM-Kalgoorlie. The PhD research would involve development of a new process flow sheet for direct ore leaching of Rare Earth Elements at the Lynas Mt Weld deposit. This is certainly an exciting segment of the industry to be involved in, with huge growth potential. This is a special round of the RTP program, so the student would need to start by 1 August 2020 and must be a domesti...c student. RTP is very selective with applicants, so WASM is looking for high performers from an undergraduate thesis or Masters degree. Prior degree could be in Metallurgy or a related discipline.
