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.

First Coal! Congratulations to the Ironbark No.1 team and the wider Fitzroy Mining Operations business. A momentous occasion for all; first coal achieved on budget and in record time.

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.
