QMAG and CQU collaboration
We are thrilled to announce that, on Friday 5th April, Queensland Magnesia & CQ University signed a Memorandum of Understanding, to collaborate on future research, education & training opportunities.
As part of this new agreement, QMAG & CQU, will work together to enhance professional development and upskilling opportunities for existing QMAG employees, provide industry-based experiences to CQ University students, apply for research grants and funding and identify new opportunities for positive economic development and sustainability outcomes.
This will focus both of our organisation’s growth in engineering business, environmental science and sustainability, and safety sciences.
We look forward to this journey & thank CQU for the relationship that has been established!
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.

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.
