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.
The Gold Industry Group is proud to announce the launch of Gold Jobs, a central online hub of employment opportunities and career pathways in Australia’s gold industry for job seekers, employees, students and teachers.
Unveiled today, the national initiative joins a suite of other long-term projects that benefit both industry and the wider Australian community.
We recently spoke to Nishan Kodituwakku, Deputy Treasurer at ABC Refinery, about his finance journey in Australia’s gold industry and gold’s value in protecting wealth during times of uncertainty.
