Falcon Update
The peregrine falcons at QMAG’s Parkhurst processing facility are breeding again after an unfortunate setback in September.
Breeding in the wild is never a guarantee and is fraught with danger and it appears that the eggs which hatched in September were predated. The good news is Electra has laid again and we are eagerly awaiting hatching of her three eggs.
Meanwhile Falco is standing guard nearby in the perfect vantage point atop one of our multi-hearth furnaces, much to worker’s delight. As a good partner he also appears to be bringing her food packages. Fingers crossed for their breeding success which we’ll keep you posted on.

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.
