Following the successful installation of the Innovative Conveying System (ICS) into Baileys Fertilisers manufacturing facility in Kwinana, Western Australia a second system has now been ordered. David Bonfield, Baileys Fertilisers General Manager, said: "The existing ICS conveyor that was installed in August 2007 has been operating exceptionally well and has improved our production output significantly by eliminating product spillage and improving general operation." Mr Bonfield went on to say: "The improvements, reliability and after-sales service provided by ICSI with the first system we had installed were a major factor in choosing the ICS over other conveyor options for our new system.

DBI-SALA, the world's leading manufacturer solely dedicated to the fall protection market, has announced the launch of their NEW EZ-Line Retractable Horizontal Lifeline System. This unique and first of its kind system eases the stress of installing, recoiling and removing temporary horizontal lifeline systems by incorporating a built-in retractor device. The entire 18m system is easily deployed and retracted from its compact hand-held housing. EZ-Line also reduces the burden on workers by weighing in 33 percent lighter than most horizontal lifeline systems. "This new retractable system will allow workers to more easily and safely retract and store the cable that makes up the horizontal lifeline system," said Rick Millar, Technical Manager for Capital Safety, Australia and New Zealand.

This compact system connects to any DBI-SALA harness and holds 1.5 litres of liquid for added worker safety and productivity. The DBI-SALA Hydration System is designed to effortlessly clip to the back of any harness, below the D-ring, to keep a fluid source close to the body without getting in the worker's way. A one-buckle strap slides beneath the dorsal webbing and clips together securely, while the press studs hold the pack in place. Adjusting the system is unnecessary as it positions itself to look and feel like part of the harness.

DBI-SALA, the world's leading manufacturer solely dedicated to the fall protection market, has announced the launch of their NEW Rescue Kit to their rescue product range.

India's economy is said to be one of the fastest growing economies in the world. This is reflected in the need for infrastructure and energy, to keep up with the economical growth. Infrastructure is required to open up underdeveloped areas of the country and to improve the traffic situation in and between India's major cities. And in the meantime, the increased industrial activity and growing wealth demands more and more energy to support these activities. Although India holds significant coal reserves, it also has an almost unlimited amount of natural energy: hydropower. Due to its geological location, as the Indian subcontinent collides with the Asian subcontinent, the Himalayas are a vast source of hydropower which is yet to be utilized.

South Africa is one of the biggest coal producing nations in the world. In South Africa it is the second biggest mining sector after gold. Coal is produced mostly for local demand, especially for power stations. Part of the coal is exported, most of it being shipped through Richards Bay coal terminal on the Kwazulu Natal north coast. The coal mines are located mainly in the north-eastern area of Johannesburg, in the province Mpumalanga, where a large number of open-pit and underground coal mines are in operation. Coal reserves in South Africa, as everywhere else, are not endless and with the current expectations, by 2040 only 7 billion tons will be left of a current estimated reserves of 34 billion tons.

The Johnson Camp property is located 65 miles east of Tucson, Arizona, US and carries substantial proven reserves of copper ore. Mining was commenced in the Johnson Camp mine by Cyprus Mines Corporation in the mid-1970s but ended ten years later due to low copper prices. "A feasibility study reported total proven and probable minable reserves of over 70 million tons of ore." The asset is now 100% owned by Nord Resources. The property includes the Johnson Camp mine which is an existing open pit copper mine. A feasibility study undertaken by Bilkerman Engineering & Technology Associates reported total proven and probable minable reserves of over 70 million tons of ore.

Following review of the recently completed Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS), Oxiana's Board approved development of the Martabe gold and silver project in December 2007. The Board approval is subject to the receipt of final permits from the Government of Indonesia, which are expected by April 2008. The Martabe project is seen as one of the more promising undeveloped mineral deposits in Asia, containing extensive proven reserves of gold and silver. "The Martabe Contract of Work (CoW) covers a 2,500km² area, the most significant part of which is the Purnama deposit" The Martabe Contract of Work (CoW) covers a 2,500km² area, the most significant part of which is the Purnama deposit.

The Prominent Hill gold and copper mine is 650km North West of the South Australian capital Adelaide, 130km north west of BHP Billiton's Olympic Dam and 130km south east of the town of Coober Pedy in the Gawler Craton of South Australia. "Recent exploration testing demonstrated that the copper-gold system extends at least twice as far as previously outlined." It was discovered in 2001 by Adelaide-based Minotaur Exploration Limited and is considered the most significant greenfields discovery in Australia for a decade. The mine is now 100% owned by Australian mining company Oxiana Limited which acquired Minotaur in 2005 and later spun-off the non-Prominent Hill assets into new company Minotaur Exploration Limited (MEP).
