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.
Feedback from the Gold Industry Group backed Australian Earth Science Education program in New South Wales has been fantastic since its launch in May, with the program delivering much needed support to teachers and secondary school students through free services, training and resources.
Since the Program began, the website has launched providing a host of new Earth and Environmental Science materials tailored to the Australian Curriculum, including classroom activities, case studies, videos and articles.
