Saracen Mineral Holdings, Norton Gold Fields and Evolution Mining are set to reduce their carbon emissions and create hundreds of jobs from new renewable energy projects in the Goldfields, receiving grants worth more than $2.6 million from the McGowan Government’s $19 million Clean Energy Future Fund.
The projects will create up to 400 jobs and generate 77,000-megawatt house (MWh) of electricity each year, which is enough to power 15,000 houses and save 53,000 tonnes of carbon emissions; the equivalent to taking 17,000 cars off the road.
WA Minister for Mines and Petroleum the Hon. Bill Johnston MLA congratulated Gold Road Resources and Gold Fields earlier this month on their renewable energy initiatives, during visits to the Yamarna exploration camp and Gruyere gold project respectively.
