Black Necked Stork
Fauna and Flora at QMag's mine site with Dr John McGrath Part 4: Black Necked Stork
The black-necked stork (jabiru) is an icon of the Northern Australia wetlands and tourism.
Fortunately, you don't have to go to Kakadu to see one. Here at QMAG's Kunwarara KG2 mine site just north of Rockhampton our mine pits and wetlands attract these giant birds searching for a meal of fish, small crustaceans or amphibians.
Jabirus are Australia's only stork, and not to be confused with the Jabiru of South America. At 1.4m tall and with a wingspan of 2m seeing a pair in a giant nest up a tree or even just seeing them fly past is awe-inspiring so we here at QMAG count ourselves lucky.
State of Origin - QLD vs NSW
Ah, the State of Origin—where New South Wales and Queensland go head-to-head in a rivalry fiercer than a kangaroo on caffeine! It's the time of year when families are divided, friendships are put on hold, and everyone suddenly becomes an expert on rugby.
From our Ore to Your Door - Episode 3 - Mine Planning
With the geological models from drilling and sampling, we create the Kunwarara mine plan. This plan identifies the most suitable, quality magnesite available in sufficient quantities to feed the beneficiation plant.
From our Ore to Your Door - Episode 2 - Drilling and Sampling
Drilling campaigns are designed to meet the requirements of the mining schedule.
