Chilean Geologist, MBA and Geo-Mining-Metallurgical Specialization, with 18 years of international experience in the mining and exploration industry in South America and Australia, and various commodities such as Copper, Gold and Iron Ore. He has held positions across the geoscience value chain including Exploration, Mine, Geotechnical, Geochemical and Modelling Geoscience and has attained superintendent/principal seniority.
In 2004 he joined BHP, and has worked in various roles related to Sampling and QAQC, initially at the world’s largest copper mine Escondida (Chile), and since 2012 in the largest Iron Ore province in the world, The Pilbara (Western Australia). His involvement in sampling and QAQC has mainly been focused on an operational perspective, including all of the logistics required to ensure the quality of the information used in exploration and mining, through the implementation of QAQC routines (sampling protocols, drilling process, sample collection, sample preparation, sample analysis, chain of custody and contract management with commercial laboratories) as applied on “big scale” RC and diamond drilling programs and blasthole sampling (>1000 samples per day).
He has worked on projects involving the assessment of new technology applied to sampling and analysis (in situ downhole tools, hyperspectral imaging), where QAQC plays a key role to 1) understand/quantify the methodology to be replaced (baseline), 2) define a QAQC plan to understand/quantify the performance of new technology, 3) quantify and evaluate the benefits and 4) define a sustainable QAQC process to ensure the quality of the new technology.
Within BHP he’s participated in internal audit on sampling and QAQC in different commodities such as Nickel and Alumina, acquiring experience a.o. used to develop an operative QAQC training course focused on day-to-day QAQC requirements, logistical challenges, exploration requirements, mine requirements and management of geological samples which has been delivered in Chile, Peru and Australia. Since 2011, he’s been actively working with the World Conference on Sampling and Blending (WCSB) scientific committee (2011-2013-2017), editorial committee (2013) and publications (2011-2015-2017). Currently working in the Geoscience Centre of Excellence, he provides guidelines and support on QAQC across all BHP assets, is developing related standards and facilitates the sharing of good practices.
Dr Ralph Holmes obtained BSc and PhD degrees in Physics from the University of Melbourne in 1967 and 1972 respectively, and joined CSIRO in November 1971 to work on the application of nuclear techniques to the on-line analysis of iron ore and subsequently other mineral commodities, including bauxite and coal. This precipitated a major interest in the sampling of mineral commodities because of the need to calibrate on-line analysers against accurate conventional analyses, and subsequently his involvement over many decades in the development of international and national standards for sampling coal, iron ore, bauxite and copper, lead, zinc and nickel ores, concentrates and smelter products. He is currently Chair of the International Standards Organisation (ISO) subcommittees ISO/TC 102/SC 1 and ISO/TC 27/SC 4, which are developing international standards for sampling iron ores and solid mineral fuels (coal and coke) respectively, and Convener of ISO/TC 183/WG 9, which is developing international standards for sampling copper, lead, zinc and nickel ores, concentrates and smelter residues. He is also the Convener of several Working Groups under both ISO/TC 102/SC 1 and ISO/TC 27/SC 4. Over the last 30 years Ralph has also been heavily involved in mineral processing research and managed CSIRO’s Iron Ore Processing research for more than 20 years. He is currently a Chief Research Scientist in CSIRO Mineral Resources and is recognised throughout the Australian and overseas iron ore industries as an expert in iron ore processing and sampling.
Ralph received a Clunies Ross National Science and Technology Award in 1998 and an inaugural Standards Award from Standards Australia in 1993 for his outstanding contributions to the development of mineral sampling standards. Ralph also received the inaugural Australasian Institute of Mining & Metallurgy (AusIMM) Mineral Industry Operating Technique Award in 1987 for developing “Ironscan” for the on-line analysis of iron ore on conveyor belts and more recently a Pierre Gy Gold Medal in Bordeaux, France, in June 2015 for “Excellence in Teaching and Application of the Theory of Sampling”. In addition, he received a CSIRO “Lifetime Achievement Award” in October 2015 for “sustained and meritorious achievements over a CSIRO career spanning more than 43 years in the field of mineral processing and international standards development both as a research manager and practitioner benefitting both CSIRO and Australia”.
Ralph is a Fellow of the AusIMM (Chartered Professional – Metallurgy), a Fellow of the Australian Institute of Physics and a member of the International Mineral Processing Council (IMPC). He has also been very active in organising technical conferences with the AusIMM and has chaired six international iron ore conferences (Iron Ore 2002, Iron Ore 2005, Iron Ore 2007, Iron Ore 2009, Iron Ore 2011, Iron Ore 2013 and Iron Ore 2015) in Perth and Fremantle, the Second World Conference on Sampling and Blending on the Sunshine Coast in 2005, Sampling 2008, Sampling 2010, Sampling 2012 and Sampling 2014 in Perth, as well as IMPC 2010 (International Mineral Processing Congress) which was held in Brisbane in September 2010. IMPC 2010 was a landmark international event in the history of IMPC as it celebrated its Silver Jubilee. More recently Ralph chaired the Eighth World Conference on Sampling and Blending held in Perth on 9-11 May 2017 and Iron Ore 2017 held in Perth on 24-26 July 2017, and played a key role in establishing the International Pierre Gy Sampling Association of which he is the inaugural Chair.
Karin Engström is an industrial management engineer and received her MSc degree in quality development from Luleå University of technology in 2011. Karin has since worked with method and quality development in sampling, test methods and process control in iron ore processing at Luossavaara Kiirunavaara AB (LKAB), an iron ore mining company in the north of Sweden. She obtained her Ph.D. in December 2018 (sampling and blending of iron ore at LKAB) from Aalborg University, Denmark, supervised by professor Kim H Esbensen. Karin is a delegate in the International Organization for Standardization subcommittee ISO/TC 102/SC1 – Sampling of iron ore and direct reduced iron.
Both at university and in her career, Karin has focused on the areas of quality control, statistical process control and method development. During her tenure at LKAB, development and evaluation of sampling methods and complete sampling systems has become an increasing part of her project portfolio. Karin is working in all parts of the value chain at LKAB, from open pit mining, iron ore processing, commercial sampling in the harbours and environmental recipient water monitoring. Her main driving force is to evaluate current sampling methods as well as develop and evaluate new methods and systems. The possibility to spread the knowledge of theory of sampling through internal courses and participation in various projects all through the company is an ongoing encouraging challenge.
Most of her spare time, Karin spends with her family in their mountain cabin in Riksgränsen. Trail running, mountain biking, rock climbing, ice skating, skiing in all directions are her main interests. With the 8 months of winter in Kiruna, skiing is one of Karin’s main passions, no matter whether cross country, ski/speed touring or downhill skiing. Just as Karin, both her kids started downhill skiing at the age of 2, and are now loving it just as much.
Romañach is Professor of Chemistry at the University of Puerto Rico – Mayagüez Campus. He is also Site Leader of the Center for Structured Organic Particulate Systems (http://csops.org), collaborating with researchers from Rutgers University, New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) and Purdue University to improve the way pharmaceuticals, foods and agriculture products are manufactured. He worked in the pharmaceutical industry for over 12 years before joining the Chemistry Department in 1999. His research is focused on developing near infrared and Raman spectroscopic methods to achieve real time quality control of pharmaceutical processes, which is summarized in over 60 publications. To date six graduate students have completed their Ph.D. at his research group, and 14 students have completed their M.S. in Chemistry. Romañach wants to embed quality control labs within pharmaceutical manufacturing and use real time analytical measurements to monitor and improve pharmaceutical processes. This approach is now reality at Janssen Ortho LLC in Gurabo, Puerto Rico where his research group developed the real time and at-line methods for the continuous manufacture of Prezista. The continuation of these improvements will require a future generation of pharmaceutical scientists and he has created Pharmaceutical Analytical Chemistry and Chemometrics courses at his university.
He has worked with sampling and analysis of pharmaceutical blends for over 25 years. In 2010, he read Pierre Gy’s “Sampling for Analytical Purposes” and found that TOS provides a much needed insight for the development of real time analytical methods within pharma. TOS has since become an important guiding light in the development of analytical methods in his research laboratory. He is currently collaborating extensively with KHE Consulting on various applications of TOS to pharmaceutical manufacturing.
Philippe Davin has a Masters in Mechanical Engineering and Industrial Automation. He has worked in the mineral industry for more than 20 years with Iteca, a French manufacturer of representative sampling solutions, sample preparation, sample transport as well as completely automatic laboratories.
He is currently the head of the Division for Sampling in the Mineral and Mining Industry and has the responsibility of developing this market worldwide.
Philippe was co-chairman of the WCSB7 (World Conference on Sampling and Blending), Bordeaux, France, in 2015.
Trevor Bruce obtained a BSc Mechanical Engineer from the University of the Witwatersrand, South Africa in 2005 and was registered as a PR Engineer with the Engineering Council of South Africa in 2016. Since graduating Trevor has worked in the mining and metals industry and in 2007 joined the IMP Automation team in South Africa. Starting as a sales engineer and shortly moving into the design and project management of the automation division, the development and integration of automated laboratory solutions for the mining and minerals industry was his primary function. During the last 8 years Trevor has been responsible for the design of end-to-end sampling and analytical solutions (primary sampling to final analysis) for the IMP group of companies, both in his capacity as Engineering Manager of IMP SA’s automation division, until March 2016, and subsequently as Director of Petrichor Concepts (consultants to IMP) .
From several mine and plant site visits, Trevor has had exposure to various sampling and sample preparation practices and techniques used around the world. He has carried out assessments and studies across Brazil, the USA, Russia, the DRC, Zimbabwe, Namibia, Australia, Morocco and South Africa, providing him with a broad understanding of what various countries understand and expect out of good sampling practices. Trevor has specific experience in Iron ore sampling and sample preparation and is a member of the International ISO TC 102 committee (South African contingent).
Trevor’s appetite for understanding sampling was sparked during a course on the Theory of Sampling at the University of the Witwatersrand. This, together with the continued study of sampling theory and its application to various product types, Trevor has put a large amount of focus on how to interpret Sampling Theory and define it in a simple manner that can be practicably and feasibly applied to sampling systems around the world.
