Gas Fired Co-generation Facility

Last updated: October 19, 2005

Worsley Alumina’s alumina refinery has existing approval for the production of 3.7 million tonnes per anum (Mtpa) of alumina. This proposal is for the construction and operation of a natural gas-fired, co-generation option. The proposal would be implemented in two stages, each consisting of a gas turbine with a nominal generation capacity of 120 MW electrical output and a heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) of nominally 210 MW steam output. The facility would be located at the Worsley alumina... Read more...

Boddington gold mine - Extended basement operation and changes to existing environmental conditions

Last updated: June 30, 1997

The initial proposal by Worsley to develop the Boddington Gold Mine approximately 12km north-west of the town of Boddington was the subject of an EPA evaluation in 1985 (EPA 1985). An Environmental Management Programme was prepared and submitted in 1987 and the mine was commissioned in July 1987. Since that time environmental approvals have been given by the Minister for the Environment for two expansions of throughput, an additional water supply reservoir, the mining of basement and supergene...

Boddington Gold Mine: Rehabilitation strategy (s46)

Last updated: January 25, 1995

The Boddington Gold Mine was originally assessed by the EPA in 1985. The EPA has subsequently assessed additional project expansions for the mine. Rehabilitation of the mine site is a key element of the commitments and Worsley Alumina has undertaken ongoing studies to assist in the overall rehabilitation. These studies are continuing. Inherent in the original rehabilitation concept for the mine site was the return of waste stockpiles to the mine pits and the maintenance of water quality in... Read more...

Extension to Boddington Gold Mine Eastern Anomaly Prospect

Last updated: January 21, 1993

The proposal is to develop three small ore bodies to the east of the main ore body at the Boddington Gold Mine. The three small ore bodies are known as the Eastern Anomalies and it is proposed to mine them as an extension of the existing mining operation. The Boddington Gold Mine is located approximately 13 kilometres north-west of the town of Boddington in the South West region of Western Australia. The Eastern Anomalies area is located outside of the 34 Mile Brook catchment in which the main... Read more...

Boddington Gold Mine Project - Modification to processing and disposal of supergene and copper-rich basement ores (s46) [238B]

Last updated: June 8, 1990

Inquiry under s46 into amending the conditions of Ministerial Statement 85 . Worsley Alumina Pty Ltd submitted a Notice of Intent for the mining and processing of supergene and basement ores at the Boddington Gold Mine in July 1989.

Further metallurgical... Read more...

Boddington Gold Mine Project - mining and processing of supergene/basement ores

Last updated: November 22, 1989

The proposal is to mine and process ore from the supergene/basement deposits at the Boddington Goldmine. The supergene orebody is that zone of mineralisation which lies at the interface of the weathered oxide zone and the fresh basement rock. Standard open cut methods, as currently employed for the oxide ore mining operation, will be utilised to mine the deeper supergene and basement ores. The supergene and some basement ores contain copper mineralisation which can interfere with the existing... Read more...

Boddington Gold Mine Project Expansion of Facilities Stage 2

Last updated: October 1, 1988

Worsley Alumina has submitted a proposal to upgrade the existing Boddington Gold Mine facilities by increasing the maximum daily process plant throughput from 12,000 tonnes per day to 16,000 tonnes per day Read more...

Boddington Gold Mine Enhancement , Boddington

Last updated: February 15, 1988

The proposal is to upgrade the existing Mine facilities by increasing the maximum daily process from 8 000 tonnes to 12 000 tonnes. Ore would continue to be mined from the same orebody currently being mined. It is therefore expected that the proposed increases in the rate of production would shorten the overall project life from fifteen to possibly ten years. The plant facilities required for the upgrading would be an additional crusher, a ball or semi-autogenous grinding mill, additional... Read more...
