MICHAEL TURBOTT BSc (Hons), FAIMM, MAIG Managing Director Mr Turbott was formerly a Director and Vice President of Kennecott Explorations (Australia)Ltd, and was in charge of the exploration programs that led to the discovery of the Lihir gold deposit in Papua New Guinea and to the acquisition and initial development of the Gordonstone coal mine in the Bowen Basin, Queensland. His 40 years’ experience in the mining industry has encompassed a wide variety of exploration and development projects in Australia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Indonesia, Philippines, Canada and the USA. Mr Turbott has been the Managing Director of Austpac Resources N.L. since its formation as an epithermal gold explorer in 1985. In 1988 Austpac became involved in the Westport ilmenite sand deposits in New Zealand. This led to the development of Austpac’s proprietary ERMS roasting process to separate refractory ilmenite and, subsequently, to the patented EARS acid regeneration process. Under Mr Turbott’s direction, since the mid 1990s Austpac has focused on its mineral sand technologies and has developed a proprietary continuous leaching process and specialist know-how in low temperature roasting and in the treatment of iron minerals. The ERMS SR process is used for the production of high grade synthetic rutile and iron metal pellets from ilmenite. Austpac’s technologies are also applicable to the steel industry where they can recover hydrochloric acid, iron and zinc from waste pickle liquors, mill scale and electric arc furnace dust. Austpac also has a process to produce direct reduced iron from iron ore fines. |
