Hexagon Mining’s Post

From our ore to your door - Episode 5: ENVIRONMENT, REHABILITATION AND CULTURAL CONSIDERATIONS Our industry has two important roles to play: providing resources and protecting our incredible natural environment. Our Kunwarara mine and Parkhurst plant operate under Environmental Authorities which regulate the types of contaminants and volumes released during any one year. We complete annual reporting requirements around our environmental performance, in relation to the designated release requirements under the EAs. Cultural heritage and stakeholder involvement is of great significance to QMAG, as are the Darumbal People, the Traditional Custodians of the Rockhampton and Capricorn Coast area. Effective engagement and relationships with First Nations People is an integral part of successful operations. QMAG works with the Darumbal People and has done so since commencement of operations to preserve items of significance for the future. Currently QMAG is in negotiations to develop and implement a Cultural Heritage Management Plan which will help to direct our operations until the end of mining activities. QMAG values the land on which we operate. In the Rockhampton regional area, it’s common for land like the Kunwarara site to be cleared for cattle grazing. Our rehabilitation work post-mining will see most of the area returned to either grazing land or to the original woodland forest. #magnesia #magnesite #sustainability #queensland #refratechnik #qmag #mining #quality #safety #environment #queenslandmagnesia #australia #centralqueensland #rockhampton #calcination #verticalshaftkiln #pyroprocessing #electrofusion #mineralprocessing #remediation #tailingsmanagement #sales #marketing #technicalsales #maintenance #engineering #quality #hydrometallurgy #drilling #whatreallymatters

2024 Brownfields Conference: 1. Great opportunity for all stakeholders (consultants, owners, community leaders, government agents) to convene for a common learning experience 2. 2020 versus 2024 - what a difference (no elbow bumping) ! 3. PFAS - they are still the difficult child in the room 4. PA is resilient - our brownfield sites have once again become cornerstones of our communities 5. Funding for sites is available from state and federal resources, but wow, is it complicated 6. Lots of good swag in the vendor room - chocolate and slinkies and ice cream. 7. Give people limitless coffee 8. Lead values - they will be changing. Don’t eat lead paint chips. 9. Due diligence is important. ASTM E1527-13 has expired… 10. Geologists are fun people 11. See you at the next conference! #brownfields #environmentalconsulting #coffee #groundwater #pabrownfieldsconference

🚨 A new study has revealed that most of EU's Marine Protected Areas #MPAs will only provide marginal protection against destructive activities such as mining, dredging and bottom trawling 🇪🇺 This has left the region struggling to meet its 2030 #biodiversity targets of protecting 30% of its seas by 2030 🌊 There are now calls for radical changes to regulations to achieve the strict protection targets required to meet #conservation goals 📋 Read more ⬇️ https://lnkd.in/eSZ3qEfr #CCT🐢 The Marine Diaries🙏

Day 2 of our #HorizonEurope-funded iNNO SED Project meeting is well under way as we set sail along the Danube River!⛴️ Today our consortium partners will deliver dedicated breakout sessions to discuss key deliverables and objectives across work packages 1 through 3, before closing out the day's proceedings! The work conducted under these work packages will aim to: 👉 establish a Sediment Knowledge System to facilitate improved process understanding 👉 strengthen the basin-river-sea connections on sediment quality and quantity, and 👉 evaluate the socio-economic and environmental effects of sustainable and long-term integrated sediment management #HorizonEurope #DanubeRiverBasin #SedimentManagement #SedimentQuality #SustainableManagement 📽 Thomas Heising, SCEI Research Group (MaREI)
