    Handbook on Mine Fill now available

    MINEFILL2011

    HandbookOnMineFill_copyThe use of mine fill is almost as old as mining itself. Future land use considerations and evolving community attitudes demand that industry comprehensively explores the use of fill, particularly fill generated from mining waste in a diverse range of underground and surface operations.

    This book is a concise summary of the considerable body of mine fill knowledge and experience and provides mining engineers and those responsible for the application of fill with a one stop reference, covering the most significant aspects of fill.

    • Grande Cache gets Ottawa's nod for sale
      Canada’s Ministry of Industry has cleared the proposed C$1-billion buyout of Grande Cache Coal, which owns mines in Alberta, by a Chinese and Japanese consortium, the TSX-listed company said on Wednesday. Under the investment Canada Act, Ottowa has to determine a deal will be of “net benefit” to the country if...
    • Lake Shore gets $50m injection from Franco-Nevada
      Lake Shore Gold and Franco-Nevada on Wednesday struck a deal whereby the royalty firm will pay the miner $35-million for a net smelter royalty (NSR) and a further $15-million for 10-million shares in the company.

    • Silvercorp sees profit drop 26%, blames 'short and distort' scheme
      Silvercorp Metals, which is suing the anonymous short sellers that accused it of fraud last year, on Wednesday reported a 26% year-on-year drop in proft for the quarter ended December 31 to $27-million, owing to lower production and a higher tax bill at its main Chinese operation. Revenue for the quarter...
    • Hedge funds get creative in Glencore-Xstrata deal
      Hedge funds are buzzing around Glencore's bumper $41-billion takeover of miner Xstrata after a lean year for European M&A, but are finding their usual bets tricky in the face of the eye-watering cost of shorting Glencore's shares. After a lull in European M&A deals in 2011, merger arbitrage managers are licking...
    • Assay labs race to boost capacity as exploration burgeons
      Surging metals prices over the last two years has brought about a boom in exploration, putting pressure on drill rig suppliers and the mineral laboratories that test the core samples with companies having to wait longer than six months for assay results in certain cases. “January’s usually a bit of a...
    • Fear not the 'Glenstrata' giant, say coal customers
      Big coal buyers should not fear the merger of miner Xstrata and trader Glencore into a dominant trading force, say customers who already rely on the two for supplies of coking coal for steel and thermal for power generation. They say the tie-up, creating the world's largest coal exporter, will only...

    THE CONSULTING PARTNERSHIP PTE LTD – METALLURGIST TO WORK IN ASIA, BASED IN SINGAPORE.
    Our Client, a MNC into Surface Chemistry, provides outstanding technologies on process aids for mineral ores enrichment processes. Asia is still a small market, but with quality demand increasing and exhaustion of high purity ores, they see more and more companies looking to install purification facilities that will require their chemicals.

    Usually, tailored formulations for customers are developed by sending samples of their ores to labs in Europe.
    Currently, they have a very experienced technical sales person based in Europe who visits Asia regularly. Their sales manager, based in Australia, is also very knowledgeable of the mining industry. However, they have nobody in Asia that can give technical support, speak the language of the metallurgists who work in the mines, and be the liaison with the formulation development labs.

    Thus, they have been looking for a metallurgist (not a mining engineer) to be that technical expert in Asia. Based in Singapore, his duties will be to:
    • Provide technical guidance to customers
    • Interpret questions and requests from customers and brief Europe accordingly
    • Prospect new opportunities for existing technologies
    • Be the focal point for the introduction of new mining products in Asia
    • Understand the field of ore purification
    • Report to the Performance Applications Manger, based in Shanghai
    • Undertake a heavy travel schedule (may suit someone under 40yr?)
