At CPA we believe that ore bodies discovered in future will be bigger and higher grade than the ones currently known and set out targets accordingly. Discoveries over the last three decades substantiated this approach.

I will confine my remarks to normal computers that people interact with, rather than built-in processors which exist in every watch and washing machine these days. I will also confine myself to computing in the technical side of mining. Bu

Sustainable development places a heavy burden upon everyone involved in the public policy debate, about how to balance economic growth and environmental protection. We must treat that responsibility very seriously indeed. The mining industry especially cannot dodge the responsibility, even if it wished to.

Comparison of legal permits required for mining (as opposed to prospecting or exploration) in New Zealand, under the Mining Act 1971 and the Resource Management Act/Crown Minerals Act 1991. Mining generally receives the same treatment as any other industrial or commercial activity.

It is suggested that if adequate knowledge is available about classifiers in closed grinding circuits, these units may be used as on-stream size analysers when equipped with suitable sensing devices. Research work which is at present in progress to enable a hydrocyclone to be used for this purpose is discussed.

Most of you who are attending this conference are probably Student Members of The Institute and well aware of the advantages which flow from student membership. You will probably agree that the major benefits are: ò Low and subsidised membership fees;

Concepts of facies are of proven worth in sedimentology, but have hitherto received little attention from volcanologists. The time is now ripe to develop facies schemes for volcanic products. This paper discusses possible facies applicable specifically to lava flows and ignimbrites, the intention being to explore possible approaches to the problem of recogniz- ing volcanic facies rather than attempting to develop a comprehensive facies scheme

The paper deals with the effect of sodium polysulphides in chrysocolla flotation. Activity of elementary sulphur adsorption on the mineral surface is discussed. The mechanism of polysulphide action in the process of sulphidisation and formation of sulphur on the mineral surface is proposed. Sodium pentasulphide is shown to be the most effective modifier of chrysocolla flotation.

Mr. Champness: I wish to congratulate the authors on their paper, which covers a large variety of subjects. Not every mine is in the fortunate position to effect cost reductions by the sinking of a new shaft, but, as the authors have endeavoured to show in their paper, with improved techniques further reductions are possible. I would like to ask two questions. Can the authors give me an approximate idea...

Successful restoration of Ballarat region alluvial gold workings to Box-Ironbark forest requires realistic evaluation of techniques. A stocking level threshold of 68 percent is used to rate the success of 'broadcast' seeding of E. microcarpa, E. Melliodora and E. Leucoxylon.Failure necessitates follow-up enrichment planting with tubestock, which is considered undesirable, interalia, due to pathogen, spacing and economic problems.

After the last world war, management tended to change from an acquired skill more associated with experience than formal training, to a specific widely-recognised specialism requiring an involved formal education process.That process, of necessity, required the development of business schools, M.B.A. courses -indeed the setting up of professional chairs to deal with the intricacy of general management development.Management research burst forth bringing forward new and exciting theories which developed new techniques, tools and terms.

A review of the motivation of personnel in the open cut mining industry. The effect of social, geographic, environ- mental, organisational, union and other factors on employees' motivation as assessed from job experience and from an attitude survey. An appraisal of where we should be heading and what influence management can have on the motivation of employees.

The introduction refers to observations made in the early days of the Nationalisation of the Coal Industry in the United Kingdom, indentifying the underground transportation problems. Statistical information is presented, highlighting the considerable developments which have been made in recent years with an evaluation of the manpower and cost involvement.

The paper considers the factors that will control the importance and the nature of R & D required by the Australian mineral industry over the next decade. The process required to determine the appropriate priorities for research and how it must be managed is described. The work of the Australian Mineral Industries Research Association is used to illustrate this process.

Although I have, for most of my working life, been associated with research into problems of water pollution, this has been exclusively in a country where problems arise from having too many people rather than too little water, a country furthermore, where for the past few decades, mining, except for coal, could hardly be called a major Industry.
