Taste of the World
QMAG was delighted to be a proud sponsor of the vibrant "Taste of the World" event, hosted by the Central Queensland Multicultural Association. It was a joyful celebration of harmony, friendship, and the rich tapestry of cultural diversity that makes our community so special.
We were especially honored to sponsor the food gardens, where over 14 countries came together to showcase their culinary treasures. From iconic German biscuits to warm, mouthwatering dumplings straight from the Himalayas of Nepal, the event was a feast for the senses! It was truly heartwarming to see people from all walks of life connect through the universal language of food.
And to top it all off - our QMAG team took home the win in the cooking competition!
We’re absolutely thrilled to have played a role in this incredible community gathering and can’t wait to support more initiatives that bring people together in celebration and unity.
Falcon Update
The peregrine falcons at QMAG’s Parkhurst processing facility are breeding again after an unfortunate setback in September.
From our Ore to Your Door - Episode 7 - Mining Operations
QMAG currently mines 4 million tonnes of ore per year, from six to eight different pits.
We choose pits based on their magnesite content and contaminant concentrations. There are always at least two pits mined simultaneously to provide the Parkhurst plant with enough material at suitable quality to support our full suite of products.
From our Ore to Your Door - Episode 6 - Mining Pit Development
With exploration, drilling and planning complete, it’s time to start mining. First, surveyors stake out the boundary of the area to be mined. A clearing permit verifies that the area to be mined is within the active lease, has
been cleared by the local Land Council, and has the correct government permit to be mined. Now the pit development can begin.
Visitors to Kunwarara
We were thrilled to welcome Matthew Canavan and Michelle Landry to our mine last week! It was an exciting opportunity to give them an in-depth look at our "Ore to Your Door" process and share the remarkable stories of the local businesses that enrich our community.
The falcons are back!
