A group of Argonauts recently travelled to Kalgoorlie for a two-day field trip to deepen their understanding of the resources sector we’re so closely connected to. The visit offered the team a valuable opportunity to see the scale and complexity of various mining operations up close.
On day one, we visited the Joe Lord Core Library, toured Topdrill’s headquarters with Managing Director Tim Topham, and stopped by Northern Star’s iconic Super Pit to gain an even greater appreciation of the processes and people driving WA’s gold industry.
On day two, we headed underground at Westgold’s Beta Hunt mine where the team received a front row seat to how stopes are formed, jumbo development, raise bore drilling and the latest infrastructure upgrades.
Following the underground tour, the team visited the Higginsville processing plant and gained firsthand insight into the benefits of blending ore types, the different stages of processing and factors affecting overall gold recoveries.
Argonaut would like to thank Topdrill and Westgold for their generosity and hospitality, along with the Argonaut team for their enthusiasm throughout the trip. Experiences like this help our newest team members connect with the business and strengthen Argonaut’s close relationship with the resource projects driving the Australian economy.
