CME’s Regional Manager – Goldfields, Ryan O’Hanlon, had the privilege recently of visiting Laverton and Leonora shires and Northern GoIdfields member company mine sites, including Gold Fields Australia’s Granny Smith and Agnew Operations, AngloGold Ashanti’s Sunrise Dam Operations, Glencore Minara Resources’ Murrin Murrin Operations and Dacian Gold’s Mt Morgans Operations.
With the current high prices of gold and nickel, these sites are currently focused on maintaining high production levels in very challenging times. While every mine is unique, they are all constantly challenged with similar key issues like skills shortages, energy and water supply and remoteness – yet each site is pushing ahead with its plans for growth and green energy. With the assistance of the resources industry, the Northern Goldfields is a flourishing region.
Ryan also took the opportunity to meet with staff and councillors from the Shire of Laverton and Leonora. Both shires currently have exciting plans for the future and are working closely with the local mines.
Ryan is very grateful to all site general managers and their senior leadership teams, and also shire councillors for accommodating him on this trip and taking the time to meet and discuss some key issues. There certainly are exciting times ahead for the Northern Goldfields.
