UPDATE Volume 1 Number 1 2014 Volume 2, 2014 Notes from the Chair It was a few years ago that Jamie Ross said ‘The annual Congress is a great event to participate in, you should try and get there one year’. Well, that has finally happened. The annual AusIMM Congress was held recently in Melbourne on 30 May – 1 June and this year witnessed some 110 attendees, the largest number ever, with every branch (bar one), Society, Committee and group represented. The largest number of students (23) also attended. Congress is the main planning and strategy event for The AusIMM and comes together essentially to elect a new President, to review progress over the prior year and set the direction for the oncoming year. A considerable amount of activities were packed in to the three-day event with the program including: • 44 sub-entities presenting on their respective key issues and priorities • three workshops led by Owen Hegarty, Keren Paterson and Rex Berthelsen for the Branches and Committees, Societies and Student Chapters covering opportunities for collaboration and knowledge sharing • two plenary panel sessions lead by Paul Harper and Alison Clark introducing the new Community and Environment Society led by Corinne Unger, the Membership Assistance Program (MAP), the New Professionals Committee, JORC and the trend in international memberships • four strategy sessions led by Dale Sims, Geoff Sharrock, Owen Hegarty and Colin Moorhead covering ethics, supporting members, policy and advocacy and engaging young professionals • Presentations by the AusIMM Far North Queensland Branch (Cairns) and the Southern Queensland Branch (Brisbane) competing for hosting Congress in 2016. This year’s Congress was noted for being extremely energetic and it was quite evident that an enormous amount of goodwill was present during three days of highly inclusive and collaborative activities. As AusIMM President Geoff Sharrock pointed out a number of times, the AusIMM is essentially one big organisation of volunteers and it is this – one of our core attributes – that makes our organisation so successful. Such is The AusIMM’s success in recent years that it has clearly become one of the most sort-after associations within the mining industry. Although there is strong competition for other professional bodies, the AusIMM has seen membership across the Asian region increase by 60 per cent during 2007-14. Where the Asian-based membership was once predominantly made up of Australians working overseas, the more recent increase in membership has come from Asian professionals. This trend, along with the number of Australians seeking work overseas, will only continue to increase in future years. The AusIMM is a very strong and sort-after brand across Asia and this is driven by a number of factors, most notable of which are: • the Institute’s well-developed approach to professional development being very attractive • the ever increasing tendency for Asia to gravitate towards doing things the ‘western way’ – we are even seeing JORC being translated into Chinese with the help from Peter Stoker. Other current trends in our industry were also discussed at Congress and of note was the changing landscape with respect to employment. An increasing number of members have reported that the trend in unemployment and underemployment is a key issue for them. In response, The AusIMM has developed the Member Assistance Program. Although initial uptake of the program has been slower than hoped for – with a tendency for members to not put their hand up – participation has picked up more recently as members realise it is not structured to be a ‘handout’, but more so to provide benefits associated (ConƟnued on page 2) other AusIMM sub-entities. Initial queries can be directed towards the AusIMM via [email protected]. (Continued from page 1) with networking and staying in touch with fellow industry professionals. Next year’s Congress will be held in Perth, hosted by the AusIMM Perth Branch. Of the many other themes that came out of the weekend, others that stood out centred on: Regards Alex Trevisin MAusIMM getting a larger part of the membership involved in AusIMM initiatives mentoring – the need for it and the importance of it members adapting to the changing landscape to exploit opportunities in other new areas If you want to get involved with The AusIMM or any of its programs such as MAP then I strongly encourage you to make contact with your local Branch, Society or any of the Six tips for talking safety Jamie Ross MAusIMM(CP) This article was originally published at www.miningman.com. you can talk one-on-one. This will make the discussion less daunting, the person less defensive and if it turns out that we’re wrong, we won’t look dumb in front of the whole crew. In our industry we work with people who have a range of different attitudes toward safety and how much risk they’ll take on the jobsite. 2. Use ‘I’ not ‘you’ The best way to avoid the person getting defensive or argumentative is to focus on your own thoughts and feelings rather than what you want them to do differently. From time to time, we find ourselves in a situation where we want to let someone know that we don’t think the way they are working is the safest way, or that we don’t think they’re following all the correct procedures for the job. The easiest way to do this is to make sure you start your sentences with ‘I’ instead of ‘you.’ We want to talk about how we feel and what we think, not directly about their actions or what we want them to change. So instead of ‘You should be …,’ ‘You are supposed to …,’ or ‘You know you haven’t …,’ we want to say things like ‘I’m a bit worried …,’ ‘I thought the rule was …,’ or ‘When I was on another site they ...’. Having this type of conversation is made all the more difficult when the person we want to chat with doesn’t work for us and may not even be from the same company or team. But we shouldn’t avoid having a discussion about safety just because we aren’t someone’s boss. Keeping people safe is only achieved by everyone looking out for each other and having the courage to talk about the best way to do things. Not only does this make our comments less direct and (confrontational) to the person (and hence make them less defensive) it also means that if we are wrong (which does happen!), then we don’t look like such a know-it-all. Here are six tips to help make your next safety chat go a little smoother and make sure your message sticks: 1. Pick your moment 3. Ask questions There are right and wrong times to have a safety discussion. If the situation you’re presented with is putting someone in immediate danger, then you need to find a way to pause the job as quickly as possible and talk about what you’ve seen. In a similar way to using ‘I’ instead of ‘you’, we will try to phrase our comments as questions instead of statements as much as possible. This again makes the discussions less defensive and gives the person a chance to explain their actions from their point of view. So we say things like ‘Do we need to have locked this out first?’, ‘Do you think we should go a get a ladder?’, or ‘What’s the procedure for this?’. Even if you know the answer for sure, using questions creates a more open and effective discussion and However, there are times when there’s not an urgent danger and we are better to wait and have the chat later. For example, if someone is not wearing the correct PPE, approaching him in front of the whole crew probably won’t work – we should wait until an opportune time later on when (Continued on page 3) 2 If you’re right, they’ll probably change what they’re doing anyway and if you’re wrong, then there was no point having an argument in the first place. We want people to work safely because they see the reasons why, not because they’ve been forced into it when they don’t agree. (Continued from page 2) helps you find out more about the other person’s point of view. 4. Blame someone else 6. Lead by example Another tactic to make yourself look less like a know-it-all is to reference a third party or source. Leading by example through working safely ourselves may not help us deal with a dangerous situation that we’re witnessing, but over the longer term it sets you up to be able to have these safety conversations in the future. For example we can base our comments on what the boss said, what the procedure said, or what our induction (orientation) said. We can make someone else look like the ‘enforcer’ of safety rather than sounding like it’s us. If you’re not a good safety role model yourself, you’re not on a good foundation to talk to someone about what you think they should do differently. So we might say things like, ‘Didn’t they say in the induction that we had to …’, ‘Come on, the boss has really been hammering us about safety glasses …’. or even a general one like ‘They’ve been telling us to talk more about safety, so on that note I was thinking …’. How would you feel if someone that never wears his or her PPE told you you should follow the rules more often? Leading by example with your own safe behaviours is the best foundation for helping others work more safely. Of course, we can only reference other sources or people when it’s true—we can’t just make things up! Fortunately, safety is so widely spoken about in the industry that most people are happy to engage in a discussion without getting defensive – it just needs someone to kick it off. 5. Be prepared to walk away In the end, we are all responsible for our own safety and there’s only so much we can do to influence another person’s behaviours. There’s no doubt people will still take risks even though they know it’s not the right thing to do, but a little chat to show them that you care about doing things the right way just might make all the difference! So if the conversation starts to go off the rails and the person gets defensive or argumentative, the best thing we can do is take some time out. There’s no benefit in pushing the point to prove you’re right if the person isn’t interested in listening or acknowledging what you’re saying. It will be best to just leave them to think about what you’ve said and perhaps come back to it at a later time. 3 Made redundant? Looking for a job? Peter Horne, Director SHR Consulting I think I know how you feel; I have been there a number of times myself. 1. when RTZ purchased CRA and a number of roles were removed 2. when Merck Sharpe and Dohme took over AMRAD Pharmaceuticals and they closed the Melbourne office 3. after Rio Tinto restructured and centralised a number of functions to Brisbane. The emotional issues surrounding redundancy is a topic on its own and I’d prefer to talk to individuals separately to address their needs but there are a number of things that you can do to help gain your next role. Finding a job is a fully time activity Don’t get distracted doing less important tasks, painting the house, taking the children to school etc. People often find getting a job too difficult and defer the activity in preference for easier tasks. Focus on getting a job. Get into a routine and prioritise your efforts pages, it is a marketing document only, the purpose is to get you an interview. Act as if you are were at work, get up early, exercise, review the papers/media and know what is happening within the economy, not just within the mining industry. There are many sectors that are growing and may be the source of your next job. Be up-to-date and current. Act as if you are were at work, get up early, exercise, review the papers/media and know what is happening within the economy, not just within the mining industry. There are many sectors that are growing and may be the source of your next job. Be upto-date and current. Think outside the box Identify your transferrable skills, you will have many. Most people are blind to their transferrable skills and need a third person to help identify them. Engineers are renowned for their problemsolving ability, their organisational skills and a desire to achieve. These attribute are sort after in most industries and is part of the reason why engineers are well represented in banking, finance and business consulting. Be flexible and adaptable You may have to leave the mining industry and do something that is quite different from what you have been doing. We talk about people having four or five careers within their working life. I worked with a mining engineer who has had a number of careers: initially as a mining engineer in iron ore, then in organisational development and training within a mining company as a recruiter in a search firm supplying people into the mining industry then in sales and marketing - selling mining equipment into the industry Network and more recently back into mining Build your network His career has taken him from Broken Hill to the Pilbara, to Melbourne and then Brisbane. This is a life-long requirement. Who do you include in your network? Everyone – previous employers, ex-colleagues, ex-school and university mates, friends and family members, parents of the children at school. Build a spreadsheet of names, titles, companies, contact details and maintain it. You never know where opportunities will come from. Be resilient Looking for work takes courage, persistence and resilience. You won’t have a boss telling you what to do; you have to do it yourself. Your partner might act in that role but that could be too close to home. Get used to rejections. The more you get rejected the closer you are to your new role. Use LinkedIn, it is a great source of information, search firms and recruiters use it to find people. Waking up at three in the morning, worried about finances and future is not unusual, it’s your subconscious working through the issues. Maintain your network Make contact with members of your network, phone calls, emails, I prefer face-to-face over a coffee. Tell them what you are doing, ask their advice and connect with their networks. People talk about six degrees of separation – in the mining industry I think it is nearer three degrees of separation. Finding the next role is a full-time activity but you also need to give yourself time to relax. It is important to discuss and share your concerns with other people, your friends, excolleagues and your partner, if you have an outplacement consultant use them to the max. They can all help you remain positive and focused. Selling your skills Tailor your resume to suit the specific role. You should have a master resume that covers everything you have done. From the master you select the specific things that are aligned to the role that you are going for. Remember – keep your resume brief no more than three 4 Silver Hill – The University of Queensland Silver Mine Precinct by Ken Grubb reviewed by Brian White HonFAusIMM(CP), Principal, Brian White Mining Services; Professor of Mining Engineering, The University of Queensland; and Site Senior Executive of the UQEM Interested in mining history? Or are you an alumnus of Mining, Extractive Metallurgy or Earth Sciences at the University of Queensland? recently, with students assisting mine staff and occasionally contractors. In 1959, the work was accelerated and also a new inclined surface shaft developed with the aid of Burmese students under the Colombo Plan. You may be interested in a new publication titled Silver Hill’written by Consulting Engineer, Ken Grubb (Principal of Moreton Geotechnical Services). The mine surface and underground working have subsequently been used for practical teaching of Mining Engineering students in Risk Management, Mine Surveying, Mining Engineering Practice, Mine Ventilation and Rock Mechanics and many students over the years have completed their Final Year capstone Thesis subject at the mine on a wide range of mining aspects and research, including topics directly related to the operations of the mine itself and Remote Control. This 50 A5 page booklet tells the story of The University of Queensland Experimental Mine (UQEM) at Isles Road, Indooroopilly in Brisbane, which has also been the site of the Julius Kruttschnitt Mineral Research Centre (JKMRC) since 1966. This lead-silver mine commenced with the finding of silver-bearing galena in the grounds of GJ Ohlsen’s property on Finney’s Hill, Indooroopilly, 9 km from the Brisbane city centre, in 1918. Ohlsen and colleague PJ Madden tested the property further and established a small open pit based on initial estimates of ore sample grades of 25 per cent Pb and 50 oz/t Ag. In addition, Earth Sciences students from The University and from the Queensland University of Technology and University of Southern Queensland (Toowoomba) have regularly undertaken face mapping exercises in various parts of the underground levels. A small open pit was commenced in November 1918 in Mining Lease (ML) 13. This led to a minor mining rush and further ML’s were granted over surrounding area over the next few years. The mine has also been used by a wide range of other organisations for various activities covering School student visits, including being part of The Institute’s ASMV programme, rescue training by the Queensland Fire & Rescue Service and the State Emergency Service and visits by other interest groups such as Probus. The exploration work included the first use of experimental electrical geophysical prospecting. A number of shafts and adits were developed to open up and mine the deposit below the open pit. In all approximately eight levels and sub -levels were established to a depth of approximately 90 m. Many aspects of mining-related research have been investigated at the mine by students and workers from The University, the JKMRC, CSIRO and CMTE/CRC Mining, as well as company’s trialling their products. To date, the use of the mine and its facilities has been provided as a community service at no charge. The small independent operating mines on the various Leases were ultimately amalgamated mid-1924 into the Finney’s Hill United Silver Mine Ltd and the 60 m diameter open pit deepened to an ultimate depth of about 30 m into the top of the old underground workings. For many years an Annual Mine Open Day, including underground visits, has been staged by the students in conjunction with the Annual Mining Games competitions, for the general public. The mine finally closed in 1929 having mined approximately 227 000 ounces of silver and nearly 1800 tonnes of lead. The area affected by mining activities was acquired by the Brisbane City Council and the mine lay dormant and the Mining Leases lapsed until, in June 1951, it was donated to The University of Queensland for educational purposes. Unfortunately, the mine has not been available to students or other users for the past few years due to a number of largely specious concerns of senior members of The University bureaucracy. This has included concerns over mine safety and structural integrity, environmental issues and of course economics. This was a contribution to the establishment of the new Department of Mining and Metallurgical Engineering (1950) by first Professor Frank White. This in turn has resulted in the commissioning of a number of studies, culminating in a ‘Mine Closure Study’ by a Mining Consultancy Group, which resulted (in the opinion of Following inspections, the staff and students of the new Department commenced rehabilitation of the partially collapsed old shafts and drives in the underground workings during weekends and holidays. This practice continued until (Continued on page 6) 5 In addition, a number of current Final Year students are carrying out work as part of their Final Year Research Theses on practical topics designed to better quantify data and designs for incorporating into a business case study to facilitate the making of more realistic decisions on the creation of a self-sufficient on-going operation as an alternative end use to closure. (Continued from page 5) this reviewer) in a somewhat deficient report, though this is not totally the fault of the consultant. The University has subsequently pursued a misguided approach of closure with respect to the ‘use’ of this unique and valuable asset. The publication of this booklet has been prompted by the activities of a group of interested and concerned individuals – ‘The Friends of the Mine’ – who consider that The University authorities are misguided in their approach, to generate a small amount of funds to support the committees’ future activities.

Why SMART goals are not that smart Jamie Ross MAusIMM(CP) This article was originally published at www.miningman.com.au. and that there is a specific time at which they will be measured. An achievement that can’t be measured, or has no set time for measurement, is no motivator at all. When setting goals for a team or individual, it is common to check them to make sure they are SMART: Mining Man prefers to do things a little simpler and ask managers we work with to focus just on M and T – Measurable and Time Limited. We find that the rest of the criteria tend to fall out once these are defined. Specific Measurable Achievable A measurable goal ensures that there is a predefined, objective result that must be achieved and which is agreed in advance. Setting a goal which is measurable naturally leads to a goal which is S for specific. By including the person or team who is being set the goal in the goal setting process and using their input to set the goal measure, will help ensure that the goal is A for achievable and R for realistic. Realistic Time limited Or even SMARTER with: Excitable Rewarded But several groups we’ve worked with have found that manager’s sometimes struggle to tick all five SMART boxes, even though they know what they want someone in their team to achieve. Using the SMART model is sometimes not so smart, as it adds extra work and time to what should be a simple process, especially if the manager is quite clear on what they want achieved. We believe that in goal setting and coaching to achieve goals, collaborating with the team member or team while defining the goals is the key to success. Ownership and input drive this success. So don’t drop the entire SMART tool when you are next setting goals for a team or in an annual performance review, but try just starting with MT goals and you should end of with something the motivates and achieves the outcome you desire. There is no doubt that when delegating tasks or providing goals, it is important to ensure that they can be measured 6 The Western Australian School of Mines (WASM) Wombats 2014 Competition David Grimsey GAusIMM, Coach, Curtin University WASM Wombats) Curtin University’s WASM Wombats have recently returned from the 36th International Intercollegiate Mining Competition which was hosted by the Missouri University of Science and Technology (MS&T) in Rolla during 3-5 April. pile for the mucking competition had turned to mud, leaving the Wombats unable to use their renown mucking technique and having to resort to the ‘digging’ technique favoured by the American teams. The competition attracted a record 43 teams of six competing over all divisions, representing 15 universities from the USA, Canada, Brazil, England and Australia, including teams from Curtin, UWA and UQ. The next day saw the coeds (led by Holly Kiely) and the women’s team (led by Emma Trypuza) compete. The WASM ladies had a rough start to the day, losing a number of BBs in the gold pan event. Their competitive spirit saw them improve throughout the day, with impressive displays in the remaining events. The Wombats were well represented, entering teams in each of the three student divisions (men’s, co -ed and women’s) after The WASM wombats. securing significant industry sponsorship despite the difficult climate for raising money. Strong performances in the hand steel and track stand events ensured second places for both, with a painfully close result in the saw, finishing third by only fractions of a second. It came down to the survey event to separate the teams, with the women finishing a close 4th overall in their division. In response, the commitment from each Wombat team member was to train at least three times a week and five to six times a week leading up to the competition, not only to be highly competitive, but to develop team working and leadership skills amongst its members, which has always been a primary objective of participation in the Wombats. The WASM co-eds put in a strong performance all day, finishing with first places in swede saw and track stand, a second placing in hand steel and placing no lower than fifth in any of the field events to give them a one point lead over the Camborne School of Mines (CSM) team, with the survey event still to be decided as the last event of the last day. This year the WASM teams were first on the field for practice day and rewarded for their early start, being able to practice most of the events before being hit with heavy rains accompanied by tornado warnings after lunch. The weather cleared up after an hour but not before the dirt (Continued on page 8) 7 a fitting reward for months of hard work by the impressive student group.

The hand steel event saw some more tense times, with the last steeler, Captain Jake Rovacsek, unable to drill a third hole as there wasn’t enough room on their designated drilling area. Fortunately, the team was allowed a re-drill at the end of the day and put in an outstanding performance to win the steel by over an inch. The Wombats now look forward to 2015, when they will be given the chance to showcase WASM and Kalgoorlie to the international mining community through hosting of the competition which will be held on 18-23 March.
