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.
Our visitors had the chance to see firsthand how QMAG operates and how we contribute to the local economy. It was a wonderful moment to connect and expand their understanding of the vital role QMAG plays in the region.
A big thank you to Matt and Michelle for their time and interest. Together, we’re building a brighter future for our community!
Disclaimer: We want to clarify that QMAG is committed to community growth and transparency, without any political affiliations. Our goal is to showcase the innovative work we do and the amazing businesses we support right here in our area.
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.
