Congratulations to two of our employees, Maryann Wipaki and Virginia Lawson who were both named as finalists in the Queensland Resources Council and Women in Mining and Resources Queensland 2021 Resources Awards for Women.

Maryann is the General Manager for Health, Safety, Environment and Community for Queensland Metals and is named as one of three finalists in the top award of Exceptional Woman in Queensland Resources.

Virginia is the General Manager of Metallurgical Processing for our Copper Assets in Australia and is one of three finalists in the Technological Innovation category.

We’re very proud to have these two exceptional women as part of our team and wish all the finalists luck at the upcoming awards ceremony in March.

Glencore is one of Australia’s largest Nickel producers. So, why is Nickel important? And, how do we use it in our lives every day?

… Well, more than two thirds of global nickel production is used to produce stainless steel, which is a leading material in architecture, building and construction, transport, and medical devices.

When two Tasmanian tourists became trapped on their vehicle in a flooded McArthur River, our employee John Waerea and North Australian Helicopters pilot Matthew Irving came to the rescue.

Then versus now. Taking in a bird’s eye view of our Ernest Henry Mining operation during construction of the surface infrastructure in the late 1990s versus today.

A lot has changed since production started in 1998 as an open pit mine, including transitioning to underground mining in 2011.

In 2020, our Queensland Metals business provided 26 local school leavers the opportunity to explore a variety of entry-level roles in the mining industry.

Participants of the School Leavers Pathway Program gain valuable experience and skills across a broad spectrum of business areas from communications, occupational hygiene, training, planning and engineering.

We look forward to welcoming a new intake of School Leavers in 2021.

The environment is important to us!
We constantly work on reducing our environmental impact and demonstrate leadership in key sectors of environmental management.

This includes the management of residual materials. In 2020, two dedicated waste management clerks were hired to provide better service to the sector, in addition to ensuring environmental compliance. Our list of recoverable materials was reviewed and additional materials can now be recovered at the mine site.

Bravo and thank you to all the workers at Raglan Mine! Your daily efforts to protect the environment and ensure compliance are greatly appreciated.

Our aim is to be an active and valued participant in the communities that host us through meaningful stakeholder engagement and integration of our social programmes. This includes investing in environmental initiatives, healthcare facilities, education programmes and enterprise development.
