QRC’s Women in Mining and Resources Queensland (WIMARQ) Mentoring Program for 2024

Last week, some of our Fitzroy staff attended the launch of the QRC’s Women in Mining and Resources Queensland (WIMARQ) Mentoring Program for 2024.

The QRC/WIMARQ Mentoring Program provides a structured, sustainable mentoring process that supports mentees through career guidance and direction by sharing mentor/mentee experiences, developing goals and forging exceptional mentoring relationships that continue beyond the program’s duration.

We can’t wait to hear about your experiences over the coming months Ladies!

Congratulations to our Fitzroy Mines Rescue team

 

 

Congratulations to our Fitzroy Mines Rescue team for taking out 1st place overall at yesterday’s Queensland Mines Rescue’s 18th Memorial Cup hosted by Oaky North Mine.
With a total of five teams competing, four of Fitzroy’s team members were also given the opportunity to be a part of a Barbarians team that allowed them to be exposed to further training to better them as rescue members.

Fitzroy’s team, made up of employees from both our Carborough Downs and Ironbark No.1 operations, also received excellence in first aid and firefighting – an amazing effort!!

Well done to all competitors.

Fitzroy’s Gracey Sprays were proud Innovation Finalists at the 2022 Queensland Mining Industry Health & Safety Conference

The Gracey Sprays were designed to control heat, disburse gas, and offer a cooling effect. Fitzroy received a Highly Commended award for this innovation.

Another milestone for our Ironbark No.1 operation

Another milestone for our Ironbark No.1 operation. Trucks are being loaded full of steelmaking coal before being washed at the Fitzroy Mining Operation's Coal Handling Preparation Plant. Our Coal will then be sent to Dalrymple Bay Coal Terminal for the first shipment to our valued customers around the world.

Fitzroy Mining Operations recently rolled out our Mature Age Apprenticeship

Fitzroy Mining Operations recently rolled out our Mature Age Apprenticeship program with participants undertaking a Certificate III in Electrotechnology or Certificate IV in Engineering. This initiative has been developed to give broad exposure to all areas of the underground operation and consists of a six-month cycle per area to give our employees enough time to understand core elements whilst gaining experience in each area.

Most participants are long term Fitzroy employees, with all but one being existing underground coal mine workers. Some in the group have a past in other qualifications such as Butchery and Carpentry.

Fitzroy are proud to invest in our people, and it just goes to show that it is never too late to learn something new.

Keep up the great work Siobhan and Team!
