FROM OUR ORE TO YOUR DOOR. Episode 19
WAREHOUSING AND LOGISTICS
Our experienced and professional Logistics team are the ones responsible for the activities involved in delivering our products to our customers in a safe and timely manner.
Logistics covers many activities, including;
• import shipments
• moving raw materials within our mine network
• transferring products to our processing plant
• warehouses
• and finally exporting to domestic and international customers.
We arrange the transport of the freshly mined magnesite from various mine sites, including Yaamba and pits within Kunwarara, to our beneficiation plant at KG1. Once washed and sized, we truck to our processing plant in Parkhurst, some 65kms south, using a fleet of heavy vehicles operating six days a week, with five of those days operating around the clock.
Once the processing is completed at Parkhurst, the products are in differing forms, from bulk goods to palletised valve sacks and bulk bags. We transport these to various warehouses by road or rail using trusted partners, ensuring the best care of our products. QMAG operates four strategic warehouses – three in Australia, at Parkhurst, Gladstone and the Port of Brisbane, and one warehouse and processing plant in Kobe, Japan. We also have a trusted partner in South Africa providing warehousing in Durban, Johannesburg, and Dar es Salaam as well as distributing and selling to customers in the DRC.
Parkhurst services our domestic market and our bulk in-container export shipments, with Gladstone and Port of Brisbane primarily used to export to our international customers by bulk ship and in 20-foot containers. Our Japan facility further processes bulk materials and delivers to our Japanese customers.
Each day our Logistics team coordinates all these movements ranging from heavy vehicles, rail, container collection and packing and bulk ship loading, delivering QMAG’s products safely and promptly to your door.
