This year I decided to take a one month job with Queensland Magnesia (QMAG) in Rockhampton to experience something a little different from last year. I stayed in Felicity’s house in the suburbs of Rocky and about 3mins from the head office! Thanks Flic!
The Magnesite deposit is mined at Kunwarara which is about 70kms north of Rockhampton:
– Deposit is largest known of its type
– Open Cut Mine, Washing, Crushing, Screening, Scrubbing, Separation & Sorting
– Bulk Shipments, or transported to Parkhurst in Rockhampton for processing
The processing plant and head office are located in Parkhurst, the processing consists of:
– Calcining (1030c), Screening & Blending
– Griniding, Briquetting, Dead-burning
– Electrofusion (3000c), Ingot Breaking, Crushing / Bagging
– Calcine, Bagged or Containerised
While there I was working in an OH&S position updating the operator training packages used onsite. It was a great experience to do something different and a good way to get to understand a different side of a mining operation!
