Mining set to restart at one of the NT's biggest gold reserves
After being dormant for nearly 30 years, the Mount Todd gold mine near Katherine is gearing up to restart production. While there are calls for local Aboriginal people to have the "first crack" at mining jobs, the operator is planning to engage a largely FIFO workforce.
The Mount Todd gold mine, located near Katherine in the Northern Territory, is preparing to resume operations after a nearly three-decade hiatus. This significant gold reserve is poised to restart production, marking a new chapter for the site. Discussions are underway regarding employment opportunities, with some advocating for local Aboriginal communities to be prioritized for available positions.
However, the company overseeing the mine's restart is reportedly planning to utilize a predominantly fly-in, fly-out (FIFO) workforce. This approach to staffing is a key point of consideration as the mine prepares to become operational once more.
The restart of this major gold mine has the potential to significantly impact the regional economy and raise important questions about local employment versus FIFO practices.
