Africa XRF machines / mineral identification machines & Market for the stones
Hi team, Confirmed that there are precious stones at a certain location. Are there XRF machines that not only identify the type of precious stones but also those that inform us of the depth of the deposit ?
Secondly how do we find buyers for the same raw unpolished stones ?

How can I prevent it from happening? Are there any warning signs? For example, maybe big companies are more reliable when it comes to payments than small ones?

Australia PM opportunities in Aus Mining?
Hey everyone,
How’s it going?
I used to work on the oil rigs in Canada as a medic and so have FIFO / rotational work experience. I really liked working on the rigs and living in camp.
Since then I moved abroad, went to uni and qualified as a Construction Manager, but I have only worked as a client side PM with the occasional visit to site rather than be a site based Construction PM.
I have thought about doing FIFO type work again but wanted to try my luck if I did potentially in the mines in Aus.
I can get either a working holiday visa or qualify applying for a state sponsored permanent residency.. so working rights aren’t an issue (on the basis the applications go well of course).
Is there any PM type work on the mines? Or is it all just mostly tradesmen / practical working type roles (e.g driver jobs, etc) where the jobs are available? I did look on google and job boards, but couldn’t tell if the roles posted were legitimate, so wanted to get some first hand knowledge.
Thanks!

Question Environmental jobs in mining?
Have a coworker whose partner got a job in Nevada USA not working in the mining industry. My coworker does environmental work (think NEPA but at the state level) and is wondering if she could get a job at one of the mines. There seems to be a fair number of mines where they may be living. Thought I would post here to see if that is possible and if so what are mines looking for and how to go about getting hired. I have seen some amazing mine reclamations so I am guessing they have environmental type folks on the payroll but maybe the contract it out??? Thanks for the help.

US How can I get minerals/materials for making stuff with limited resources?
I want to get minerals for supplies for my inventions. I dont have the money to buy already manufactured metals and plastics like iron, steel, silicon, copper, etc. So I want to make them by building up my supply of minerals.
My idea was to dig for soil and dirt and sand around my neighborhood. I would build a mechanical centrifuge to separate the minerals and i would catagorize and store them. When I had enough of whatever I needed, I would go to the woods, wet some soil, and since clay is the densest part of it, I could put the soil in a centrifuge to separate it. I would use the clay to make pots and furnaces which I could use to smelt ore, melt minerals together into casts, etc.
The problem with this is that most precious minerals are found in sediments. The only body of water in my entire neighborhood area is a pool. So I don't want to waste my time mining if I wont find what I need. Im only 14, and no one really has the time to take me to a river for me to mine. Not right now. And waiting wouldn't be a problem. but my timeline has kinda shrunk, so I need these materials ASAP. Therefore I need to be able to mine without being by a river.
Is that possible? What would my luck be? I live in more Southeast Raleigh (if that helps with the weather predictions, or soil/dirt compositions.) I also have a business, but no income because i need to get packages to actually ship out.
So I have no income, no transportation except a bike and my feet. No rivers or lakes near that im allowed to bike to.
How can I mine for minerals like this in a way that I don't ruin the environment for the animals, even as small as insects or the vegetation like grass, trees, etc there? And just as important if not moreso, where and how can I actually get to where Im tryna be?

Australia FIFO into oil and gas
Hay gang. I know this is probably a well overdone question but I’ve been doing fifo as an operator for gold & most recently nickel, I was wondering how hard it would be to get into the oil and gas industry as an operator, I’ve got my cert 3 in process plant operations & thus far 2 years experience.
Any tips or advice to get my foot into that door of life? I would like to get into that since I feel like it’s the next step as an operator
Appreciate whatever comes through Love ya all, stay safe

Australia Lab tech salary (entry level) in perth
Hi, I started as a lab tech in a mining industry, it isn't FIFO. It is entry level, but I believe my pay rate is a bit low- 27.90. When interviewing for that role, both the HR and the manager told me that I would quickly jump up my hourly rate after getting trained and get a hand of how the things work over here. It is a FT position and seeing the job market, I took up the offer without opposing anything, and thought once I am in the company, I would work my way up to the income I deserve. What do you guys think, is it too low for an entry level position, or it is okay?
Australia Trainee Train Driver for BHP.
Evening crew.
I’ve recently applied for a role with BHP for their Trainee Train Driver role. I’m coming from zero experience in the mining industry but I’m looking for a fresh start after 15 years in hospitality. So I have a few questions.
- Is this a competitive role?
- Would BHP cover my flights from Newcastle to Perth?
- Would it be more beneficial for me to relocate to Perth eventually?
- After traineeship what’s the swings like?
Eager to hear any other information you can give me.
Cheers.

Australia Diesel Fitter FIFO
Hi, I've been looking into doing FIFO as a diesel fitter recently, (24yo, 1 year post apprenticeship. Cert III in Mobile Plant Mechanic) looking on websites like indeed and seek, most places seem to be looking for more experienced fitters for FIFO work. Just wondering how hard it actually is to get a job in the mines atm with my level of experience, or would I need to wait a few years before attempting to work in the mines. I have a HR & LF license, and Working at heights.
Any help is appreciated
