PRESIDENT
Some things change – some just plain do not!
In February 2011, long serving State Minister
for Mineral Resources Development, Mr Paul
Holloway, stepped down from this ministry
having served with distinction ever since his
appointment in March 2002. Mr Holloway
presided over the outstandingly successful State
Government Plan for Accelerating Exploration
(PACE) which has helped transform the mineral
resources sector in South Australia.
The new minister, the Hon. Tom Koutsantonis
MP, is determined to continue the extraordinary
growth of our sector and this year we
commenced working with him on this mutual
goal.
The proposed expansion of the fabulous Olympic
Dam mine will change the State’s mineral
resources sector (for the better) for decades to
come, with the lodging of the supplementary
draft EIS in December last year.
OZ Minerals acquisition of the Carrapateena
copper-gold deposit in the Gawler Craton and it’s
development will also bring change.
Our burgeoning iron ore sector is bringing
change to the sector as will our evolving coal
(and coal by-products), hot rocks/geothermal,
and the many other mineral resource
developments.
I also sense a favourable change in sentiment
towards the use of nuclear energy.
What then hasn’t changed?
Land access issues continue to be near “top of
the list” of challenges.
These challenges are described on page 14
together with our actions to reduce their impact.
Certain government departments and certain
members of the public continue to believe
mining companies are awash with money.
A SACOME study (almost complete) shows
that for a range of average mining operations,
precious little cash is left over after payment
of taxes, royalties, operating costs, exploration,
capital expenditure, community costs etc.
The perception just hasn’t changed, but it
must be corrected.
The Chamber addressed many other
challenges and issues during the year under
review, which have been reported on in this
publication.
The SACOME team is now well established
and continues to function well in its role
of serving the industry. On behalf of the
council and myself, I extend a very sincere
appreciation to our dedicated team for their
outstanding contributions under the
excellent leadership of our Chief Executive,
Jason Kuchel.
Thanks are also due to our Councillors and
voluntary committees for their continuing
contribution to our effectiveness.
Special thanks are also owed to Stephanie
Walker, who retired after heading up our
Indigenous Relations activities for nine years.
Stephanie did an outstanding job and was
respected and admired by all who knew her.
Her contributions to a whole host of
negotiated Indigenous Land Use Agreements
(ILUAs) will continue to serve the industry well
for years to come.

CHIEF EXECUTIVE
As our annual report cover attests, the
resources sector has certainly been under fire
this financial year.
Ever since the announcement of the Resources
Super Profits Tax (RSPT) several months before
the beginning of this financial year, the blaze has
been fuelled by a plethora of challenges.
On the 2nd of July the Minerals Resources
Rent Tax (MRRT) was announced along with
the Petroleum Resources Rent Tax (PRRT).
Along with these tax proposals, we have been
busy dealing with Royalty hikes, the Carbon
Tax, Marine Parks, the review of access to the
Woomera Prohibited Area (WPA), pressure to
ban mining in Arkaroola, introduction of the
Mining Act amendments, Harmonisation of
OH&S legislation across Australia, Protected
Areas on Private Land (PAPL) Bill and a whole
raft of threats to land access.
As our industry grows, there is a corresponding
perceived fear of mining activities impeding on
agricultural land - in the minds of landholders;
community members concerned about food
security; and environmental groups.
These concerns are unfounded.
Most exploration leads to a very small number
of major minerals mines and these mines are
currently taking up only 0.074% of our State to
date - despite growing from 4 to 18 mines over
the past 6 years.
The expectations from some in the community
are that a mine will be built every time someone
explores on their land or in their community.
SACOME has been actively engaged with many

groups and through the media in counteracting
some of these negative stereotypes and giving
perspective. In particular, we have been actively
promoting the benefits that the resources sector
brings to communities in SA and the State as a
whole. Just one of those ways is through the
Premier’s inaugural Social Inclusion in Mining
and Energy Award, which SACOME hosted as
part of our Gala Dinner in May.
At the beginning of the year, we introduced a
new structure to the organisation, see page 8.
The new structure provides for 4 teams and cross
functional team work resulting in higher output,
along with an increased focus in key areas
including communications and corporate social
responsibility. During the year, the chamber’s
staff grew to 15, reflecting the growing size of
the industry and needs of our members.
Key capabilities have been added, particularly
in the areas of research and communications.
These functions have provided us with more
and better data for advocacy purposes and the
ability to improve our levels of communication to
our stakeholders. Highlights include a massive
increase in our number of media hits and the
introduction of a new website.
From a financial perspective, SACOME continues
to perform well through a difficult period post
Global Financial Crisis. We have increased
services and advocacy in line with our members
increased needs and the bombardment of issues,
whilst maintaining a small surplus to enable us
to deal urgently with unexpected industry issues
that arise.
One of the most enjoyable aspects of managing
an organisation is when one can be proud of the
team and their interactions with members.
I commend this publication to you, which
provides a snapshot of a number of the key
issues and achievements for the 2010/2011
financial year.
I am very proud of all of our staff, who from the
youngest graduate to the most senior Director,
have shown their commitment to SACOME
and our flourishing resources industry by giving
their all and achieving much for the sector. I
am also very proud of the tailored support and
assistance the Chamber has been able to provide
to numerous sub-groups and individual members
over the year, in our role of supporting and
promoting this vitally important industry in
South Australia.

SACOME’s Exploration Committee has been very active during
the year and continues to be a valuable forum for responding to
a range of issues affecting exploration in South Australia. The
Committee has provided direction on issues including the Mining
(Miscellaneous) Amendment Bill 2009, the MRRT, infrastructure
needs, marine parks, land access - including the WPA submission
and Northern Flinders Ranges Management Plan- community
engagement and royalties, to name just a few.

ENVIRONMENT &
Sustainability
Environment & Sustainability
The mineral and energy resources industry
in SA is governed by strong requirements to
undertake detailed evaluation of potential
impacts on the environment and address these
with managed strategies. SACOME played
a strong role in contributing to policies and
legislation which affect the sector over the year.
exploration and production approvals, future
infrastructure development and transport
regulation.
SACOME represented industry in our
contributions during the consultation period.
Together with submissions by resource
Natural Resources Management
(NRM)
Through the water levy and partnerships with
NRM Boards, the South Australian resources
sector is a significant contributor to NRM,
providing social and economic capital to progress
NRM objectives in a number of regions.
Marine Parks
In the second quarter of the 2010/2011 financial
year, the Department of Environment and Natural
Resources released for discussion preliminary
sanctuary zone scenarios for South Australia’s 19
marine parks.
The size and number of the proposed zones
was extensive, particularly given the size would
eventually be magnified by the inclusion of
habitat protection zones as buffers.
SACOME’s perspective was that a large sample of
the preliminary sanctuary zones could appropriately
be re-categorised as habitat protection zones;
which would preserve existing use and enjoyment
of the marine environment, but also ensure proper
management and monitoring.
SACOME believes the array of zonings within
marine parks and many associated rules and
prohibitions has the potential to complicate

significantly during
the consultation
period, eventually

Advisory Groups.
companies and the Marine Park Local Advisory
Groups, substantial modifications to sanctuary
zone boundaries were made.
This advice is being considered by the
Government as management plans are drafted
for public consultation in late 2011.
Although the resources industry is a legitimate
land and water user and a significant contributor
to the objectives of environmental legislation,
SACOME is not recognised as a peak body
in either legislation, nor has guaranteed
representation on the NRM Council, the
state-wide peak body advising government.
SACOME believes that in order for the resources
industry to have greater influence and scrutiny
over how its water levies, and also its significant
environmental benefit (SEB) offsets for the
clearance of native vegetation are invested, the
industry must take on a greater role in NRM and
native vegetation management. This will also
assist in influencing the direction, funding and
planning of NRM more broadly in the State.
Amendments to the NRM Act are currently
before Parliament and SACOME will continue
to lobby for additional amendments to enable
industry representation.
Climate Change
Abandoned in early 2010, policy to introduce a
pricing mechanism on greenhouse gas (GHG)
emissions was again on the agenda following
the Federal election in August 2010.
SACOME signed off on our formal policy on
Climate Change during the year, which sets out
the principles for establishment of a price on
GHG emissions.
SACOME policy and principles developed in
collaboration with the MCA will form the
foundation of industry’s engagement with the
Federal Government in future development of
climate change policy. The legislative package
to support the establishment of a scheme to
price GHG emissions is expected to be introduced
into Federal Parliament later in 2011.
Any scheme placing a price on GHG will have
fundamental implications for the mining and
energy sector and SACOME will continue to
vigorously represent the resources industry in
this policy space.

LAND
Access
Land Access
Land Access has been of particular interest
to the industry over the past 12 months,
with a number of reviews and legislation
proposals undertaken. As explorers push
further into farming land, the issue of access
to land for our industry has never been
more important.
legislation to ensure this area is protected from
activities that would affect conservation of this
area’s natural character and environment. We
are hopeful that the Government also recognises
this and that some level of coexistence for
exploration and mining may be possible. At the
time of writing, there has been no decision as to
the future of this area.
The Final Report was released in February 2011
which included 65 recommendations, and the Federal
Government endorsed the Review and the proposed
new management framework for the WPA.
SACOME will look to work closely with the newly
formed WPA Coordination Office to ensure that
our industry is provided with maximum access
under the new arrangements and that we
are well represented on the Reference Group
that will be established to give advice on the
practicalities and appropriateness of coexistence
under this new model.
Northern Flinders Ranges
Management Plan (Arkaroola)
In January 2010, SACOME made a submission
in response to the discussion paper titled:
‘Seeking a Balance: Conservation and resource
use in the Northern Flinders Ranges’ which
proposed a series of management zones across
the northern Flinders Ranges area, effectively
changing and restricting the access and use of
parts of the area.
In February 2011 the Premier announced
that the Government is examining options for
the future conservation management of the
Arkaroola Wilderness Sanctuary. These options
could include the exclusion or limiting of future
mining in the environmentally sensitive areas of
Arkaroola Sanctuary or designating the area as
a National Park.
SACOME has always maintained that sufficient
safeguards are in place within existing
SACOME worked
closely with Dr
Hawke, Federal
Ministers and the
State Government in
our contribution to the
Woomera Prohibited
Area report.
Woomera Prohibited Area
In May 2010, the Federal Government announced
a review of the Woomera Prohibited Area (WPA),
led by Dr Alan Hawke, examining the future of the
WPA with a view to maximising its value to the
nation for Defence and economic development
over the next 20-30 years. Then in November, the
Federal Government released the Review’s Interim
Report whereby interested parties were invited
to comment on the recommendations, prior to
the Hawke WPA Review Team submitting a final
report to the Government.
SACOME worked closely with Dr Hawke, Federal
Ministers and the State Government in our

MINING ACT &
Taxes
Mining Act & Taxes
Mining Act Legislation
SACOME was heavily involved with the review
of the Mining Act 1971 and Mining Regulations
1998 from 2009 to early 2011. SACOME
lobbied hard against a number of amendments
put up by various parties once the Bill had been
introduced into Parliament including; proposals
to exempt all land in the Greater Adelaide Area,
onerous processes involving the granting of an
exploration lease, and an amendment to ban
mining at Arkaroola. SACOME continues to
liaise with PIRSA MER and inform our members,
as to the practical implications of the Mining
Act and Regulations.
Royalties
Royalties was also a hot topic in 2010, with
the South Australian Government announcing
a new three-tiered mineral royalty regime
effective from July 1st 2011. The main increases
were for concentrates such as copper, uranium,
iron ore and coal which go from 3.5% of sales
value to 5% of sales value. The other main
change is the ‘new mine’ rate goes from 1.5%
to 2% of sales value for the first 5 years of
production. Existing mines will continue the
1.5% royalty rate until the end of their five year
term. The State Government is expected to raise
an additional $65m per year in 2011/2012 as a
result of these measures.

COMMUNITY
Engagement
REGIONAL
Infrastructure
Engaging and actively partnering with
communities is core to the industry’s social
licence to operate.
A commitment to effective community
engagement facilitates good decision making,
can achieve optimum benefits for communities,
and appropriately addresses issues of concern,
doubt or confusion.
Excellence in corporate social responsibility (CSR)
is vital to the growth of the industry, and within
this spectrum is the need to be responsive to
the increasing expectations from the community,
regulators and industry leaders for more open
engagement with the public.
The project will undertake a number of initiatives
including revision of the resources industry codes
of practice; benchmarking community engagement
strategies around Australia; provision of community
engagement workshops for the minerals and
energy sector; and working with SACOME members
to create an industry supported land access and
Template Land Access Community
Agreement (LACA)
Working with exploration companies on the
Yorke Peninsula, SACOME has commenced
development of a template LACA to accompany
amendments to the Mining Act and regulations.
The template is expected to be completed for use
on the Yorke Peninsula by the end of 2011 and
will be adapted for industry use across the State.
Premier’s Social Inclusion in Mining
and Energy Award
In line with the increasing focus on corporate
social responsibility, the Premier announced a
new annual award during the year recognising
Whilst the State Government’s plan for
accelerated exploration (PACE) has seen
exploration increase threefold, the next
challenge is to turn this exploration boom into
the long touted ‘mining boom’.
To achieve this, many miners and renewableenergy
providers will need to share commonuser
infrastructure, including roads, rail, ports,
water, energy and transmission lines. SACOME
directed efforts over the year to lobbying the
State Government, the State Opposition and
the Federal Government on a wide range of
infrastructure issues.
Infrastructure Demand Study 2011
SACOME has a strong presence on the Resources
& Energy Sector Infrastructure Council (RESIC),
who engaged Parsons Brinckerhoff to undertake
the 2011 Infrastructure Demand Study with the
aim of identifying the strategic infrastructure needs
for the sector over the next 10 years and beyond.
The study involves an extensive engagement and
consultation process with industry, to understand
the anticipated demands on existing and new
infrastructure. The results of the investigation
and scenario planning workshops will be used
to develop recommendations to Government on
which infrastructure types should be developed
to bring the greatest benefit to the State. It
is anticipated the study will be completed by
September 2011.
Funding for a Bulk Commodities Port
SACOME believes that at least 3 cape size vessel
capable ports will be required in South Australia
to service 3 areas: The Southern Eyre Peninsula,
Eastern side of the Spencer Gulf, and the
Northern Eyre and Far North.
SACOME continued to lobby the State
Government throughout the year to consider
underwriting tonnages for the first 5 years of a
deep-water port operation at Port Bonython to
attract investment.
SACOME proactively supports and fosters
commitment to the communities and stakeholders
in regions where the industry operates.

Towards the end of the financial year,
SACOME was successful in attracting financial
assistance for 2011/2012 under the PACE 2020
Partnerships program to scope, implement and
manage a series of work programs, under a
project entitled ‘Community Engagement in the

OCCUPATIONAL
Health & Safety
Occupational Health & Safety
Harmonisation of WHS laws
In July 2008, the Council of Australia Governments
formally committed to the harmonisation of work
health and safety laws (WHS).
SACOME supports a uniform approach to
occupational health and safety (OH&S) in Australia
to reduce the regulatory burden faced by companies
that operate in a number of jurisdictions, where
separate processes currently apply.
Draft model WHS Regulations were released for
public comment in December 2010 along with a
number of model codes of practice. The Chapter
of the Regulations related to mines was to be
released for separate consultation.
The Model Work Health and Safety Act, model
WHS Regulations and Codes of Practice come
into force on 1 January 2012.
SA Mines Rescue Competition
SACOME is the coordinating body for the SA
Mines Emergency Response Competition and
following the successful inaugural competition in
2010, the second SA Mines Emergency Response
Competition was held at Olympic Dam mine
from 29th April until 1st May 2011.
Four teams entered the competition from Perilya,
Prominent Hill, BHP Billiton (Olympic Dam) and
the Challenger Mine. The event was a great
success, with teams given the opportunity to
hone their emergency response skills through
challenges such as high rope rescues, using
breathing apparatus, fire fighting, first aid,
theory, basic skills and road crash rescues.
Olympic Dam won the competition and was
presented with the SACOME Perpetual Trophy
for the second year running.
Emerging Mines OH&S Project
SACOME worked closely with the MCA and other
state bodies through the MCA OH&S Committee
to address key issues for the mining sector during
the year. Although consultation will be ongoing
into the first half of 2011-12, the representation
of industry in the process has led to changes to
ensure the full legislative package delivers on the
intent of the original COAG inter-governmental
agreement.
To enact the model legislation each jurisdiction,
including the Commonwealth, is required to have
the legislation passed through their respective
Parliaments.The Work Health and Safety (WHS)
Bill 2011, based on the model law endorsed by
the Workplace Relations Ministerial Council, was
introduced into the SA Parliament through the
House of Assembly in May 2011.
The Olympic Dam team at the 2011 SA Mines Rescue
Competition
With health and safety management a key focus
for the resources sector, SACOME successfully
negotiated funding for two years of $50,000
with the Mining & Quarrying Occupational
Health and Safety Committee (MAQOHSC), to
help develop and manage a program to assist
emerging South Australian mining companies
assess their OH&S needs and implement
improved systems.
The program is jointly managed by SACOME
and MAQOHSC and has successfully completed
its first year of operation with five companies
receiving OH&S advice and training, and is
looking forward to a successful second year.

Lunch series
Strong attendance at SACOME lunches continued
over the year.
The financial year kicked off with the annual
Women in Resources lunch in August and
September saw the often outspoken Deputy
Premier and Treasurer Hon Kevin Foley MP
address an audience of over 300 guests.
November’s economic outlook with the
Commonwealth Bank’s Dave De Garis was
insightful, with the addition of Premier Mike
Rann’s presence and social inclusion award
announcement adding further value to the event.
The new year got off to a flying start with
the Hon Patrick Conlon presenting at the first
lunch for 2011, followed in April by the newly
appointed State Minister for Mineral Resources
Development, the Hon Tom Koutsantonis, who
spoke passionately about his opinions on the
issues and future of the industry. Rounding out
the financial year saw Kuzma Otto from Uranium
One’s timely presentation on their project
activities and timeframe.
November’s economic
outlook with the
Commonwealth
Bank’s Dave De Garis
was insightful,
with the addition of
Premier Mike Rann’s
presence and social
inclusion award
announcement
adding further value
to the event.
Seminars
SACOME hosted a number of topical seminars
and workshops over the financial year, covering
the changes to the Mining Act as well as the
MRRT, State Royalties, Personal Properties &
Securities Act, a legal workshop providing updates
on the latest developments in acquisitions &
financing affecting the industry, a uranium briefing
for the media, and an ILUA briefing for Western
Australian companies, many who are SACOME
members.
Indigenous Land Use Agreements
During the financial year SACOME continued its
key role in negotiating State Indigenous Land
Use Agreements (ILUA’s).
Over the year, two Mineral Exploration
agreements were reached with the
Adnyamathanyha and the Far West Coast.
Both ILUA’s are currently in transition to the
National Native Title Tribunal (NNTT) for
registration, pending finalisation of Consent
Determinations.The Registration of these two
ILUA’s will bring the area of the state covered by
Mineral Exploration ILUA’s to 29%.
Negotiations have commenced with the
Kokatha Uwangarra, leaving the Nauo Barngarla
to be negotiated once the overlapping claims
are resolved in the Federal Court, and the
Wirangu as areas identified by industry as being
of priority for native title negotiations. If the
Ngadjuri application is eventually successful
in becoming a registered claim, this will be a
further area of interest to the industry.
A Petroleum Conjunctive ILUA negotiated by
SACOME was accepted by the Wankangurru/
Yarluyandi and is in transition to the NNTT for
registration.
The Dieri have indicated they will be signing an
agreed Petroleum Conjunctive ILUA at their next
community meeting scheduled later in 2011.
It has also been offered to the Arabunna for
negotiation, subject to funding for SA Native Title
Service’s participation.
SACOME believes these fully pre-negotiated
ILUAs are the most cost effective and efficient
way of accessing land subject to Native Title
claims and in advancing sustainable benefits
for Aboriginal communities and will continue to
promote the use of ILUA’s to industry.
During the year, feedback from the Federal
Attorney General’s Department suggested they
may be seeking to end their contribution to the
costs of SACOME’s participation in the SANTR
(South Australian Native Title Resolution) process.
This is of major concern to the Chamber given
the key role SACOME has played for many years,
resulting in national recognition of the SANTR
process as superior to that in other states,
streamlining access to lands,assisting in resolving
Native Title claims and in addressing potential
Aboriginal heritage concerns.
Aboriginal Heritage Act Review
In October 2009 SACOME joined with SA
Farmers’ Federation, Local Government
Association, Wildcatch Fisheries SA, the State
Aboriginal Heritage Committee, the Aboriginal
Congress of SA and SA Native Title Services, and
made a joint submission on the review of the
Aboriginal Heritage Act 1988 to the state.
This issue remains on SACOME’s agenda, and we
will continue to lobby the State Government
expressing concerns over the delay and
requesting a response.

SKILLS &
Education
Skills & Education
Careers Promotion Program
In 2010/2011, SACOME’s Careers Promotion
Program delivered school presentations to over
6500 Primary School students and over 1500
High School students, as well as attending
school careers expos.
OZ Minerals sponsored SACOME to deliver the
Careers Promotion Program to schools in the
far north, including Coober Pedy Area School,
Mintabie Area School, Marree Indigenous
School and Oodnadatta Indigenous School.
In a similar venture, Iluka sponsored trips to
schools in Ceduna and the surrounding area,
including Yalata Anangu School, Penong
Primary School, Koonibba Aboriginal School,
Crossways Lutheran School and Ceduna Area
School.
SACOME also teamed up with Syngas to
deliver a ‘Careers in Mining Day’ in Kadina
to over 300 High School students attending
schools on the Yorke Peninsula.
In an initiative led by the Queensland
Resources Council, SACOME collaborated with
the Minerals Council of Australia, Chamber
of Mines and Energy Western Australia, New
South Wales Minerals Council, Tasmanian
Minerals Council, Australian Uranium Association
and the Australian Coal Association to develop
an innovative, interactive online environment
called Oresome Resources. This is the first high
quality educational resource of its kind based on
the minerals and energy sector.
SACOME’s Emma Hughes with students in Koonibba
The 2011 SACOME Treasure Hunt was a sell out
in the April school holidays, with 300 children
and parents participating. This year’s hunt was
held at the University of Adelaide and highlights
included the 3D suite in the Australian School
of Petroleum Science School, exploring rocks
and tectonic plates at the School of Earth and
Environmental Sciences, a seismic survey on the
Barr Smith Lawns and a science show by Rock
Chick and Science Geek.
SACOME is very grateful to all those who
contributed their valuable time and resources to
the success of the event, in particular Professor
Graham Heinson (University of Adelaide); Ian West
(Australian School of Petroleum); Maris Zwigulis
(Beach Petroleum) and John Mignone (PIRSA).
These programs and events are crucial in
addressing the future workforce requirements of
our industry, by instilling an industry awareness
and interest amongst our children from an early
age. An additional benefit is assisting teachers
and parents to better understand the industry
and its significance in our State, contributing to
greater community awareness.
Geoscientist Assistance Program (GAP)
GAP is funded by the State Government and
aims to encourage mining professionals to
remain in South Australia to maintain their
skills and expertise. The program provides salary
subsidies of up to $25,000pa per participant
and offers training grants up to $8,500pa.
To date, the program has been very successful
and has placed 26 participants in 23 companies
with 13 participants having completed their
placement. Of the $750,000 funding received
in 2009, there was sufficient funding to apply
to the State Government for an extension to the
two year program until 30th June 2012.
MOU with Resources and Engineering
Skills Alliance
Since late 2010, SACOME and the Resources
and Engineering Skills Alliance (RESA) have
been in discussions to establish a Memorandum
of Understanding (MOU) which addresses
areas of mutual interest and contributes to the
coordination of plans and initiatives to meet
industry workforce needs.
Areas identified for potential collaboration
include: promotion of resources sector as an
industry of choice for workers; contributing to
the uptake of Science, Technology, Engineering
Participants in SACOME’s sold
out 2011 Treasure Hunt at the
University of Adelaide.
& Mathematics (STEM) and resources industry
supporting curriculum in schools; career
promotion initiatives to support industry;
attraction, retention, training and education
initiatives to address gaps and issues to meet
industry needs; and a point of reference for
industry workforce information.
The MOU is set to be signed in the third quarter
of 2011.

MARKETING &
Communications
Marketing & Communications
SACOME continued its important work
promoting the local mineral and energy
resources sectors and sharing news and
information with all stakeholders, through
internal and external media.
SA Mines and Energy Journal
The SA Mines and Energy Journal, established
in 2008 as SACOME’s official publication,
continued into its third year of publication.
The journal provides timely content relevant to
industry members, service provider members,
policy makers and educators. It is also
distributed to many other individuals Australia
wide with an interest in the South Australian
resources industry.
SACOME’s partnership with established local
publisher, Solstice Media, has proven to be a
winning combination.
Journal content is sourced primarily through
an editorial committee co-ordinated by
SACOME, which comprises a minimum of
three leaders from within the State’s mining
and energy sector, and is led by the magazine
editor - SACOME’s Director of Membership
and Communications.
Most of the content is researched and written
by SACOME staff, Solstice Media journalists
and SACOME members.
Lead stories for the 2010-2011 financial year
centred on the Henry tax followed by the Mineral
Resources Rent Tax and Petroleum Resources
Rent tax; copper and gold in South Australia;
2011 expectations for the sector; issues and
updates in exploration; and climate change.
Articles continued to be published in line with
areas of key interest to SACOME members,
including business and finance; innovation;
workforce; Indigenous issues; education and
environment pages among others.
Community pages also featured prominently
over the year, with numerous articles
reflecting an increasing interest among
readers in regards to corporate responsibility,
and how companies are meeting or exceeding
their social license to operate requirements.
Due to the popularity of SACOME’s breakfast
briefings, combined with a desire from readers
for more industry news, a summary of the
breakfast presentations was added as a new
regular feature.
E-news
SACOME updated the design of its newsletter
and continued to distribute the online
publication to members on a fortnightly basis.
With a focus on distributing information
surrounding issues, projects and initiatives
relevant to the industry, e-news is also a vehicle
for advising SACOME’s stance and policy input
on important issues. It remains a great resource
for communicating upcoming SACOME functions,
workshops and seminars and also key external
events of particular relevance to members.
Marketing collateral
SACOME’s marketing collateral was updated to
provide a new distinct and consistent styling,
to assist in cementing a clear and recognisable
identity for the organisation in its interactions
with stakeholders.
Website
The SACOME website was also rebuilt over the
financial year. Style was a significant factor, but
more important was content, with the new site
providing an improved outlet for communication
and information to SACOME members, external
stakeholders and the public.
The development of an online database in
conjunction with the new website has assisted
with the facilitation of membership data; online
event registration; event management; and
information dissemination.
SACOME incorporated space within the
website design to promote its valued annual
sponsors, with the aim to further enhance their
sponsorship value.
