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.

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.
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.
