Kalgoorlie-Boulder – Background information

Kalgoorlie-Boulder is a local government area in the Goldfields-Esperance region of Western Australia and is located about 600 km to the east of Perth. The Town of Kalgoorlie and the Shire of Boulder then amalgamated to form the City of Kalgoorlie-Boulder in 1989. The population is around 32,000, and the main economic activity is mining; followed by agriculture, manufacturing, and processing activities. The Kalgoorlie mining district encloses the Golden Mile and Mt. Charlotte mining areas. Gold has been continuously produced since June 1893, when three Irish prospectors, Dan Shea, Tom Flanagan and Paddy Hannan made the first discovery of gold in surface samples of quartz in the north of the Gold Field, near the current Mt Charlotte mine.

GRT Case Study – Western Australia

By jurisdiction, Western Australia has the biggest share of exploration expenditure which translates to more mining activities that play a huge part of Australia’s economy. This case study highlights our ongoing contributions to mining dust suppression in Western Australia.

GRT dust suppression applications and products 

Drilling: The economic value of drilling operations should not happen at the expense of worker safety and health. It is important to implement industry best practice to ensure dust produced from drilling do not pose any health hazards to the mineworkers. We offer effective blast and drill dust control. 

Product: GRT: 12X 

Blasting: GRT takes a no-compromise stance to save lives and its sole mandate is to offer solutions at the apex of solving any dust-related problem arising from blasting activities before it takes place. We offer effective blast patter dust suppression solutions. 

Product: GRT: DC Binder 

Haul roads: Reports indicate that a mine site uses 9.4 million litres of water per day on just its haul road activities. Water is not only unsustainable but also very ineffective as a haul road dust suppression method. Using GRT:Haul-Loc results in great operational improvement and massive cost savings in water usage and fuel used for water truck movements. 

Product: GRT: Haul-Loc 

Stockpiles: We have grown a rapport across many industries for tackling stockpile dust challenges on different sites. Mining is one of our major areas. So, why wait to hear it from elsewhere when you can get it first hand from us.

Product: GRT: ACTIVATE, GRT: ORE-LOC

Conveyor belts: GRT implements a combination of chemistry and particle size in making water work for conveyor belt dust control. We wet the material to optimal moisture content, preventing fines from being carried off into the air, or to the air above the material, to return airborne fines to the material bed. The material doesn’t have to be handled again.
