It’s not every day you find a new mineral but two scientists at the University of Adelaide have found a very small, new compound and named it after BHP’s Superintendent Geometallurgy Dr Kathy Ehrig, in recognition of her many contributions to the fields of geology and geometallurgy.

ln a groundbreaking achievement, the new mineral, named Ehrigite (pronounced air-rig-ite), has been officially recognised by the International Mineralogical Association (IMA) Commission on New Minerals and Mineral Nomenclature.
