Updates

  • To complete an overhaul it takes teamwork 👏 Welcome to Ulan West underground coal mine where the Flexible Conveyer Train (FCT) undergoes extensive maintenance every four years. The overhaul involves disassembly, inspections, repairs and reassembly. Spanning 180 metres, this impressive machine is one of only two FCTs in the Australian mining industry and a key piece of equipment at Ulan West.

  • Matty never planned on carving out a long-term career in mining but 10 years later, he’s sure glad he did. After finishing high school in 2015 and unclear on a career path, a two-year traineeship as a junior underground miner was a good opportunity to earn some money while he figured out what he wanted to do long-term. Fast-forward a decade and he’s still working in the industry as a Rope Shovel Operator at our Hail Creek open cut coal mine. Linking with Glencore through Workpac, as a new to industry operator after his underground traineeship, Matty has never stopped upskilling. While driving trucks, water carts, graders and dozers, he’s taken on the additional responsibility of being the crew health and safety representative. Read Matty's story ➡️ https://lnkd.in/gyV5paGw

  • Wayne Richards traded in his footy boots for steel caps. Known by his workmates as ‘Richo’, the former backrower won a premiership with the Newcastle Knights in the infamous 1997 grand final 🏆 When he retired from footy in 1999, he moved into coal mining. Nowadays, instead of putting shots on the opposition, he’s loading shots in the pit as a shotfirer at Mount Owen/Glendell open-cut mine 👊 📽️ Full video: https://lnkd.in/gWiibauy

  • This #WorldWildlifeDay we’re taking a look at wildlife that’s been spotted across our rehabilitation and mining operations 👀 With many of our operations located in remote regions of Australia, we get to see wildlife stretching from Gouldian Finches, Tawny Frogmouth, Echidnas, Kangaroos, Owls and goannas. Our mates at McArthur River Mine have even spotted a Crocodile in a section of the McArthur River on the mining lease.
