On Saturday, 16 June two WIMnet members, Donna Frater and Alison Keogh, were awarded AusIMM Service awards. This award is for contribution and service to the Institute. Donna Frater, immediate past Chair of WIMnet received her award for membership and leadership of WIMnet for more than 11 years. In that time she has also been active in the ‘Women in Mining and Resources Queensland’; advocated on behalf of both groups at a number of

Federal Standing Committees; and has been involved with the Minerals Council of Australia. Alison Keogh, another active WIMnet and WIMARQ member, received her award for her involvement with WIMnet; her three-year contribution as a Director of The AusIMM; and founding member and previous Chair of the Sustainability Committee. In accepting their awards, both Donna and Alison made mention of the strong friendships and networks they formed through their activities with The AusIMM. Current WIMnet Chair, Alison Morley, travelled to Adelaide to support Donna and Alison as they received their awards. Awards are now open for 2013 in a number of categories – so get the thinking hats on and start nominating via www.ausimm.com.au/content/awards.aspx.

Notes from the Chair

AusIMM President Alice Clark presents Alison Keogh and Donna Frater with their AusIMM Services Awards.

Alison Morley, Donna Frater, Alison Keogh, Susan Mallan and Kate Sommerville at the AusIMM Awards Dinner.

Recently appointed to the role of Professor and Head of Geometallurgical Research at the University of Queensland’s Sustainable Minerals Institute (SMI), Professor Alice Clark FAusIMM(CP) brings extensive experience in exploration and mine geology, corporate management, international consultancy and leadership of a major professional body to her role as a Queensland Resource Industry Ambassador. After serving for several years as a director, Alice was appointed in 2011 as President of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy (The AusIMM). ‘Serving on the board of The AusIMM as well as being the President for 2011 and 2012 has brought me into contact with a broad cross-section of industry professionals, including exploration geoscientists, mining and geotechnical engineers, minerals processing engineers, metallurgists, mine managers and corporate leaders,’ Alice said. ‘These individuals and teams are working collaboratively to meet not only the challenges of a global industry that is essential to Australia’s economic wellbeing but also the social and environmental challenges that are evident on exploration leases, on mine sites, at processing plants, and within the communities which we’re all part of.’ Alice sees members of The AusIMM as skilled and experienced professionals who can influence the policies of industry and government and respond to the concerns of their own communities. Alice’s move into the field of applied research at the University of Queensland is based at the world-renowned Julius Kruttschnitt Mineral Research Centre. This position provides Alice with a multidisciplinary perspective on the advancing education, technology and innovation aspects of the minerals sector. ‘Our organisation collaborates with researchers across the world to bring together the disciplines of geology, mine engineering and metallurgy to develop solutions for the mines of the future,’ she said. Building the next generation of innovative mining professionals is high on her list of priorities. ‘The geosciences are fundamental to the future of the minerals and energy industry. There will always be a need for those who know how to look for, discover and extract valuable natural resources. ‘I would advise anyone who is interested in a career in geology to enrol in a degree, keep their eyes open for industry sponsored scholarships … and take every opportunity to work in the industry during vacations to determine which aspects of the geosciences best suit their skills and interests.’ Alice is a member of the Australian Institute of Company Directors, Deputy Chairman of the Joint Ore Reserves Committee

(JORC) and a member of the Queensland Exploration Council. She has held senior managerial positions in exploration and large mining operations and was the proprietor of CdeK Geological and Mining Services consultancy for 12 years. Alice’s recent achievements included a key role on the independent panel responsible for reviewing the land access framework. These experiences give Alice an insight into the contemporary challenges facing the resources sector. ‘Over the last 30 years the resources industry has lost touch with many in the general community, especially those who live in metropolitan centres. We need to reconnect with the community, particularly with those who do not directly interact with the mining industry on a day-to-day basis.’ ‘People are no longer content to accept the outcomes of mining. Now they want to know how its products are made and what industries are doing to protect the environment in the process. Education at the primary and secondary school level is really important. For mining companies, social licence to operate is as important as changes in the company’s stock value and in commodity prices.’ For Alice, the challenge is to draw on all of her experience, networks and knowledge across the resources sector, to liaise with industry, with communities and with government, and to provide direction in research that will produce innovative solutions to the technical challenges facing a vital and growing industry.

On 28 May at the Perth Convention Centre, I addressed the Women in Leadership Australia’s (WLA) Symposium on the topic of ‘fly-in, fly-out’ (FIFO) management. The WLA is a national initiative, funded by the Workplace Training Advisory Australia (WTAA). It is committed to supporting the increased representation of women in business and community leadership roles. More women in leadership will transform culture and provide economic benefits for society. The two day event was a mix of keynote talks, Q&A panels and some workshops. Participants heard from speakers such as Telstra Business Woman of the year, Chief Nurse Catherine Stoddart; Kiersten Gregg, HR General Manager, Rio Tinto; Dr Carmen Lawerence, Dianne Smith-Gander and Dr Fiona Wood. The event was opened by a keynote talk from Jonathan Throssell, CEO of the Shire of Mundaring. WLS echoed WIMNet’s view that whilst progress has been made, it’s still too slow and that a steep change is required. We need male champions of change. Jonathan is part of an ambassador program that positions him to answer the many questions from other male leaders. He lives what he believes – the shire allows flexible hours in all roles for childcare, study and recreation. He drops his children off to school and does not hide his calendar appointments if they are for non-work purposes.

Dianne Smith-Gander, board member on organisations including CBH Ltd, Transfield and Wesfarmers was another standout speaker. Key takeaways on her talk were: be heard and do not allow yourself to be dismissed; if there is a setback, get over it quickly; use your economic power (her car mechanic is female); ensure people know what is important to you, and while mentors are beneficial, it’s even better find supporters as they are in positions to enable promotions. My talk focused on how to be a successful leader in FIFO and highlighted key differences to a city context. Differences that impact leading include: location; 12 hour days; management and employee interaction in a rostered environment; field work; and uniforms. I spoke of the importance of visual performance boards, time management (Dave’s Allen’s book, Making it all work), the importance of consistent behaviour through managing fatigue and the challenges of keeping up networks whilst away from the city. It was a rewarding event for those that attended. Having the opportunity to hear from leaders and ask questions inspires and motivates women to keep forging ahead in their goals. Please keep an eye out for my article on FIFO in the upcoming August edition of The AusIMM Bulletin.

Symposium

Australasian Mining and Metallurgical Operating Practices (AMMOP) is The AusIMM’s largest current publication project from 2010-13. Following considerable effort from contributing companies, authors and reviewers, we are now very close to having received all of the material for inclusion in this monograph. Our main focus now is chasing up the final five or six outstanding papers and undertaking final peer reviewing, editing and desktop publishing of the volume. AMMOP will be comprised of just under 200 papers in total, covering over 220 sites and plants throughout Australasia as well as preliminary chapters covering the changing nature of site operations, developments in mining and processing, education, training and professional development. Commodity overview papers have also been submitted by prominent industry experts and AusIMM members. The commodity overview papers provide general information on commodity specific issues and trends, including the status of the relevant industry sectors, technology, outlook, challenges and new developments. This publication will be the culmination of extensive dedicated work and involvement from people across The AusIMM’s membership and industry at large. This involvement includes participation from societies, committees, branches, and member volunteers – and of course the authors from mining and

metallurgical operations from all around Australasia who have written high-quality papers for inclusion in the publication. It is anticipated that the final AMMOP monograph will be approximately 2000 pages in total to be produced across two or three volumes. The volumes will prove to be an invaluable technical reference and database on industrial production practice in the Australasian mineral industry, featuring papers from significant mining and processing operations in Australia, New Zealand and Papua New Guinea. We are very grateful for everyone’s involvement in bringing this publication together, and to the vital support we have received from AMMOP’s sponsors – Principal Sponsor Rio Tinto; Major Sponsors Anglo American, AngloGold Ashanti, BHP Billiton, MMG, Newcrest, Newmont and Xstrata; along with Sponsors AMC Consultants, Atlas Iron, Ausenco, Centennial Coal, Gold Fields, Iluka, Lycopodium, Ok Tedi, Sandvik, Vedanta Resources, Wesfarmers and Western Areas. The AMMOP Project team anticipates that AMMOP will be launched in early 2013, and hopes to provide more information surrounding the exciting launch of this publication in forthcoming issues of The AusIMM Bulletin. Please contact me if you have any questions about AMMOP via somizzolo@ausimm.com.au.

Stevie Stimpson, BHP Billiton Iron Ore

BHP Billiton Iron Ore, in partnership with Women in Mining and Resources WA, was proud to host the 2012 Hard Hat High Tea in Port Hedland on 1 June 2012. Continuing to encourage and support diversity in the resources industry, this year’s event included a Port Hedland harbour tour, a prominent speaker’s forum and networking high tea for industry professionals, community members and many others. Guest speakers included Kelly Howlett, Mayor of Port Hedland, Natasha Cann, winner of the Chamber of Minerals and Energy 2012 Women in Resources Award for Outstanding Technician and 2012 Telstra Small Business Award nominee and Belinda Stuckenberg, Head of Health and Safety for BHP Billiton Iron Ore. Each speaker shared their personal story of leadership and the challenges and triumphs of their careers to date. Natasha Cann shared her experience in mining at the event:

As a recent speaker at the Port Hedland Hard Hat High Tea, the interest and respect I received speaking to peers established in the industry was overwhelming. The double lives of working and studying full time for many women to gain access to the career they desire in mining is substantially taxing on time and work life balance, and can be helped by the support and direction of peers and the insight from support groups like WIMWA. WIMWA events have a tremendous amount of information and people who come with a great willingness to share.

Guests travelled from across the Pilbara to attend the event. BHP Billiton Iron Ore Graduate Geologist, Stephanie Terwindt who

travelled from Area C with ten of her colleagues, captured the highlights of their road trip:

A highlight of the day was the boat tour of the harbour and port facilities, complete with nibbles. Our tour guide, Roger, was a Port Hedland veteran, speaking at length about the expansion of the port, the number of berths to be commissioned and the process behind the expansion. Another highlight of the tour was Spaghetti Junction, a network of conveyors located at the Port. The group saw firsthand, the various ore stockpiles from Newman Joint Venture, Yandi and Mining Area , and witnessed a car dumper emptying fines into the system. Following the tour, we were invited to attend a seminar, held at the Port Hedland Civic Centre. The day ended with a lovely high tea on the grassed area of the Civic Centre, over-looking the beach. This was an opportunity to meet guest speakers, network, and of course enjoy the enticing food and drinks. Complete with the setting sun and live jazz entertainment, the Port Hedland Civic Centre felt more like a tropical island getaway. All in all, it was a great day, enjoyed by all the ladies who attended.

BHP Billiton Iron Ore Senior Talent and Diversity Advisor, Tess Antunovich, MC at the event, said as part of BHP Billiton’s ongoing commitment to diversity and inclusion, the event will become a regular fixture on our Pilbara events calendar, with next year’s event to be held in Newman.

The Women in Mining Western Australia (WIMWA) Mentoring Program was created due to an increasing demand to provide a formal mentoring service to the rising number of women working in Western Australia’s mining and resource sector. According to the Chamber of Minerals & Energy WA, women make up 22 per cent of the mining and resource workforce in WA (March, 2012). The inaugural program is the first of its kind in Australia and ran from February to June 2012 with fantastic results and overwhelmingly positive feedback As expected, mentees found the program a very worthwhile learning experience and many mentors were pleasantly surprised by how much they learnt from the experience. The WIMWA Mentoring Program aims to support professional WIMWA mentees through career guidance and direction by sharing mentor/mentee experiences, developing career goals and forging exceptional mentoring partnerships. The program is based on a structured framework that includes a comprehensive matching and training process. Prior to the official launch, mentors were sourced from an extensive range of mining contacts in Western Australia. All female mentors were required to be influential leaders in their field, as well as hold a fundamental value in supporting women in mining. Female mentors occupied senior positions such as Chair, CEO, Vice President, General Manager, Mining Manager, Director and Principal. The program was launched in September 2011 at the annual WIMWA one-day seminar where we formally invited mentee applications from across the industry. Mentees were largely from the engineering, environmental science, geology and finance disciplines and were mainly in the 25-34 age range, with 30 per cent on ‘fly-in fly-out’ rosters. In total, all 38 mentee applicants were partnered successfully during a thorough matching process. Upon analysing the mentee applications, it became clear that our mentees were highly motivated women seeking career guidance, enhanced business acumen, work/life alignment advice, networking skills and defined career goals.

Mentees were required to pay a $600 application fee. Some companies sponsored the fee for their mentees to participate and other mentees self-funded their applications acknowledging this remarkable opportunity. Each mentor and mentee was required to complete a detailed questionnaire which outlined their career history, aspirations and mentoring goals. This information was used for the mentor/mentee matching process. According to the structured framework, mentors and mentees were required to attend an initial training session designed to familiarise participants in how to conduct a successful mentoring partnership. At the end of the mentor training session the mentees were invited back to meet their mentors for the first time at a networking session. This was an amazing event with the 76 program participants having plenty to talk about! Mentors and mentees were required to meet every three to four weeks for one hour. An important part of the program was the networking sundowner conducted at the midway phase of the four month program. A number of industry leaders from a variety of mining companies were invited to this event and a number of these VIPs commented on the high calibre of WIMWA participants.

Two successful Sydney events in June have brought mining industry women together to discuss issues associated with diversity. The first event, an after work talk hosted by the NSW Minerals Council WIMIN network featured visiting UK Professor Binna Kandola, discussing unconscious bias. In an entertaining and thought provoking talk, Professor Kandola effectively demonstrated how all of us – however well trained in scientific method – do show bias at certain times (usually unconsciously) and discussed how this bias can affect diversity goals. Progress usually involves helping individuals to become more conscious of their programmed preferences. Interestingly, research indicates that when people or organisations are congratulated for achieving progress on diversity, they tend to slip back, while continual pressure to achieve more diversity

appears to be more effective (even if those stirring the pot may not win any popularity contests). All of which makes me think that WIMnet needs to keep up the good work for quite a while longer. The second event, hosted by Ernst and Young on behalf of NSW WIMnet, saw almost 80 people gather for lunch to network and hear guest speaker Karen Wood, Group Executive and Chief People & Public Affairs Officer – BHP Billiton discuss how BHP has tackled the issue of gender diversity and share some of her insights from her successful career in the industry. Karen gave a very informative talk which provoked much discussion. Thank you to Ernst and Young for its sponsorship and organisation of such a popular event.

In March 2012 the NSW Minerals Council launched a new network called Women in Mining Network New South Wales (WIMIN_NSW), a unique initiative to create a productive and sustainable network of women in the NSW mining industry. Networking events will be held throughout NSW to bring together women in mining to share information and experiences of working in the industry.

The Council is in the process of developing the WIMIN_NSW Student Chapter, to be introduced later this year as well as updating its social media.

Launch of Women in Mining New South Wales by Chrissie Clarke, Manager Operations, NSW Minerals Council

According to feedback generated from the evaluation survey: On average, mentors and mentees had six mentoring sessions

during the four month program. Respondents felt that they had a quality relationship with their

mentor/mentee. Respondents felt that they would remain friends with their

mentor/mentee. Mentors felt that they also ‘got something’ from the process. The majority of respondents felt that the Women in Mining

WA Mentoring Program had made a positive impact on their career.

In response to the positive feedback, we are considering inviting influential male mentors into the program in 2013. When we asked current program participants if they liked this idea, 85 per cent of respondents replied positively. The Women in Mining WA Mentoring Program 2013 will also run two four-month semester programs, in addition to keeping the structured nature of the program.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank our valued WIMWA 2012 mentors: Alex Atkins, Gillian Bester, Fiona Brooks, Ali Burston, Johanna Cowell, Ivy Chen, Linda Devereaux, Stephanie Fast, Lorraine Hannett, Rebecca Kellam, Liesl Kemp, Deborah Lord, Dellas Lynch, Julie Mahony, Andrea Maxey, Charlotte McCully, Heather McIntyre, Lucy McIntyre, Gabrielle McMeeken, Alison Morley, Fleur Muller, Angela Newman, Lynn Olssen, Sharon Parcell, Kellie Parker, Sandra Pigdon, Melissa Price, Nicole Roocke, Kristy Sell, Lianne Sipsma, Sabina Shugg, Phillippa Sivwright, Dr Erica Smyth, Gry Stene, Lucy Stocker, Pauline Sullivan, Erin Sutton and Margie Tannock . We would also like to acknowledge our program sponsors Anglogold Ashanti, Atlas Iron, Momentum Partners, Metisphere, Rio Tinto and Squire Sanders. We look forward to launching the Women in Mining WA Mentoring Program 2013 at our next WIMWA one-day seminar and continue to provide support and career growth opportunities for women working in mining and resources in Western Australia.

NSW networking events by Sue Border FAusIMM(CP), Director/Principal Geologist, Geos Mining Minerals Consultants

Working with high schools to unearth new talent by Kate Sommerville FAusIMM(CP)

On 28-29 June, more than 130 high school students converged on Central Institute of Technology in Northbridge Perth to learn more about a career in mining from resource sector professionals. The Get Into Mining day was designed by industry people from some of Perth’s top resources companies to promote interest in the sector and was supported by WIMnet. The format of the day was based in part on the successful Goldfields Esperance Mining Industry Alliance (GEMIA) days which have run for several years in Kalgoorlie. Students rotated through a series of activities from a range of career options and interact with people who do those jobs: geologists, metallurgists, environmental scientists, engineers and managers. The industry personnel involved in the day were chosen because they love what they do and are interesting, approachable and honest about their jobs. Presenters included WIMnet Committee members Alison Morley, Alex Atkins and Kirsty Liddicoat. The event was well supported by mining and resources companies and other organisations that are keen to address the shortfall in trained and qualified staff the resources industry is predicted to suffer in the future. Support was provided through direct sponsorship and companies providing their employees’ time to participate as guests, presenters, exhibitors and activity facilitators.

Current resource industry workers are potential role models and mentors and the event gave the high school students an opportunity to get to know people already working in mining and related sectors. Feedback indicated that they discovered that

there are diverse, rewarding and enjoyable careers to choose from in an industry they may never have considered. Integral to the day was The Cut Mine – a pioneering learning resource and the only facility of its kind in Western Australia. The unique simulated underground mine is situated in the heart of the Central Institute of Technology’s building and takes training to a new level, providing students with hands-on experience in underground mining. If you are interested in getting involved, presenting a session at next year’s event, or if your company would like to get involved in the future by sponsoring the day, please contact with Alison Morley via amorley@brumbyresources.com.au.

Symposium

We need more young people in mining but sometimes students don’t know what is available to them. With Get Into Mining they will meet people and experience first-hand what we do.

In early 2012, I read a newspaper article about scholarships offered by Chief Executive Women (CEW) to attend various courses and decided to apply. After a written application and a phone interview I was notified that I had been awarded the scholarship and in May 2012, I travelled to INSEAD Business School in Singapore. I travelled along with Western Australia’s Director of State Policy Development, Jenness Gardner, also a recipient of CEW’s 2012 scholarship. The one week intensive INSEAD Negotiation Dynamics Program has been an enormous benefit to me, both professionally and personally. It is clear to me what a negotiation is and I have the tools to deal with more challenging and important CEO negotiations such as joint venture agreements for exploration tenements. As I am also a mother of two young girls, the negotiation skills come in very handy after work too. Eighteen months ago I changed careers from being a technical consultant to the mining industry to the CEO of a smaller exploration company and I was seeking further executive skills.

These negotiation skills allow me to bring more opportunities to the table for my company. The course had a varied cohort of people from all over the world – Asia, Europe and the Middle East; and from a wide range of industries including aviation, not-for-profits, social entrepreneurs, oil and gas, tobacco, medical and manufacturing. To my surprise, almost half of the participants were women. Chief Executive Women is an advocacy organisation of women leaders enabling emerging women leaders, with a key aim facilitating gender diversity in leadership. They offer multiple scholarships to women to attend high profile business schools around the world throughout the year. I strongly encourage all the WIMnet mailing list members to check CEW’s website for scholarship opportunities and apply. You don’t have to be a CEO already to be awarded a scholarship – CEW is aiming to help you get there! www.cew.org.au
