EHS Notice - Falcon Update
Parkhurst EHS notice:
Peregrine Falcon fledgling around Parkhurst facility
What is happening?
The sole surviving peregrine falcon chick has fledged (left the nest) and will be moving around the Parkhurst Facility. Her protective parents may swoop if workers go too close to her.
Where is it happening?
Was at K21 C14 this week. This will change in coming days and weeks as she gains flight confidence. She will initially stay on lower structures, more likely around the Deadburn/MHF/stockpile area.
When is it happening?
From December into January pending survival.
How will it affect me?
The falcons may swoop to protect their young if you are in the fledgling’s proximity. She cannot fly very well yet and we want to avoid startling or pressuring her into flying into mobile plant, hoppers, moving machinery e.g. conveyors, etc. Potential of running over her – note she is the only peregrine falcon chick in the wider region.

From our Ore to Your Door - Episode 4 - Water Management
Mining at Kunwarara brings its own unique challenges. The magnesite mainly lies inside a shallow aquifer which makes mining impossible without first controlling the water.
State of Origin - QLD vs NSW
Ah, the State of Origin—where New South Wales and Queensland go head-to-head in a rivalry fiercer than a kangaroo on caffeine! It's the time of year when families are divided, friendships are put on hold, and everyone suddenly becomes an expert on rugby.
From our Ore to Your Door - Episode 3 - Mine Planning
With the geological models from drilling and sampling, we create the Kunwarara mine plan. This plan identifies the most suitable, quality magnesite available in sufficient quantities to feed the beneficiation plant.
