Successful Mine Rehabilitation and Sustainability - a Q&A with Nigel FisherIQPC Australia
Nigel Fisher discusses best practices for integrating mine closure into everyday operations. He notes that mine site rehabilitation requires both technical knowledge of below and above ground ecological components as well as effective management. Key technical issues include understanding soil microbial communities, pollinator and seed dispersal availability, and protecting genetic diversity through seed collection. Major obstacles to successful rehabilitation are technical/scientific challenges, inconsistent regulatory environments, and attitudes prioritizing costs over outcomes. Sustainability is measured by establishing biodiverse vertical vegetation structure through all life cycles and monitoring for reproductive success over generations.

Q&A with David Thiel the real benefits and concerns of Electromagnetic Geophy...IQPC Australia
Surface-based electromagnetic geophysics can help mining companies with feasibility studies in the following ways:
1) It provides information on overburden, faults, intrusions, aquifers, and old workings to a depth of 50-100 meters, which helps with mine planning and infrastructure development without being a fully comprehensive assessment of the deposit.
2) It can identify rock and soil types and their conductivity, as well as dislocations, which allows for detailed mine planning with precision over 1 meter.
3) While interpretations require geological knowledge and the technique can be influenced by certain surface conditions, electromagnetic geophysics is cost-effective as it reduces the need for extensive drilling and leaves no surface disruption after feasibility studies
Definitive Feasibility study is essential in determining the potential profitability and productivity of a Mining Project. However, stringent legislation, time restrictions, a shortage of skilled technical staff along with no guarantee of financial approval, makes conducting a feasibility study difficult. IQPC’s 5th Annual conference on Mine Site Feasibility, along with our 4 specialised workshops, will equip you with the information you need in order to improve the overall management and success of your feasibility study.Hearing from experienced industry professionals will help you in the development of your own feasibility study.
Mine Site Feasibility’s success is evident as in 2011 we will be reproducing the event for the 5th time. The improved and updated event will maintain its relevance as it will answer the immediate issues facing today’s Mining market.

Overview of issues associated with Coal Processing by Industry ProfessionalsIQPC Australia
The document summarizes responses from three industry experts on challenges facing coal processing optimization:
1) Derek Scantlebury notes balancing return on investment while optimizing the entire production process from mining to shipping is challenging without scientifically comparing upgrade results.
2) Dr. Peter Koh explains increasing throughput requires higher pulp densities, causing viscosity issues, and computational fluid dynamics can help identify problem areas.
3) Jacques Dippenaar says identifying key faults allows focusing on strategic planning instead of reactive problem-solving and quantifying improvements requires cost and production data.
