Top reputation within the industry
As proof of the fine reputation that Quarry Mining enjoys, the company was invited to take part in the 2008 University Mining Games run by the Australasian Institute of Mineral and Metallurgy - AusIMM. The Institute is the leading organisation representing all professionals in the minerals sector.
The Institute stages the National Mining Games in Wollongong and the competition is for students studying Mining Engineering at University.
Quarry Mining NSW Sales Manager, Phill Breese, was invited to attend as the tutor, mentor and event judge for the rock drilling component of the competition. Phill spent two full days with students at the Southern Mines Rescue Station, a brand new training facility (opened in June 2008) that features underground tunnels and virtual reality set ups for safety training.
The contests included: timber set, conveyor set, safety event, rock identification (Identifying ore bearing minerals in rocks), surveying, drilling (using an air leg, for speed and accuracy), gravity separation (panning and gravity separation to produce coking coal separated from waste), mucking (which is filling and moving an ore skip) and face tie in.
Some of the tasks and the skills involved can be applied in real life mining situations and others are historical and have a stronger element of fun.
