Fresh Perspectives
At QMAG, we value fresh perspectives - especially when they lead to meaningful operational improvements. Cody Christensen is one of our early-career engineers, originally from Dalby in South East QLD, and he has been applying his dual degrees in Chemical Process Engineering and Chemistry from QUT to tackle some key challenges on site.
His current focus areas are:
• Enhancing energy efficiency in our MHF units by lowering operating temperatures while maintaining product quality
• Improving throughput in the milling circuits by identifying bottlenecks and optimizing milling time
• Exploring ways to refine the electrofusion process
These projects reflect a thoughtful, data-driven approach to improving performance. The unique industrial processes at QMAG offer rare exposure to pyroprocessing and bulk material flow processes, and it's exciting to see young team members making the most of these opportunities.
"QMAG has given me the chance to work on systems that are hard to find elsewhere in Australia. It’s rewarding to contribute to projects that have a real impact."
We appreciate the initiative and curiosity this young colleague brings to the table - and look forward to seeing what’s next.

End of Year Message
A short end of the year message from our Managing Directors Brendon Pambid and Dr. Christoph Beyer
From our Ore to Your Door - Episode 9 - Health & Safety
Safety is not a component of our business, rather safety is an outcome of business.
From our Ore to Your Door - Episode 8 - In Pit Screening
QMAG currently mines 4 million tonnes of ore per year, from six to eight different pits.
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.
