Newmont Announces First Gold Pour at Boddington
Newmont Mining Corporation announced last week it’s first gold pour at its Boddington mine in Western Australia. In addition, the Company has trucked its first shipment of copper concentrate from the mine to the port in Bunbury. The event marked the commencement of gold production at Boddington after the first production of copper concentrate in August.
Newmont Boddington Gold commenced plant start-up in July 2009 and is expected to be Australia's largest gold producer, with an operating life of more than 24 years. A large, open pit mine, Boddington is located 130 kilometres southeast of Perth within the Saddleback Greenstone Belt and the town has a population of about 1,000 and is in the centre of a farming district.
"The first gold pour is a significant milestone and an exciting time for our Company," said Richard O'Brien, President and Chief Executive Officer. "As we look to the future, the world-class Boddington gold mine will prove to be a cornerstone asset, providing a stable production base for many years. I am proud of the Company's ongoing commitment and hard work, and am especially grateful for the efforts of our development team for completing this state-of-the-art facility while maintaining our industry leading safety performance."
Current vacancies include Mine Geologist, Geotechnical Engineer, Drill and Blast Engineer, Haul Truck Operators, Blast Hole Drillers, Fleet Management Systems Technicians and Dispatch Operators
