INDIGENOUS ENGAGEMENT NRW recognises that our long-term success depends on the well-being and development of the communities in which we operate. We respect the importance of Indigenous Australian culture and value its diversity.

NRW has successfully employed and supported Indigenous people within our operations since the forming of the company in 1994. Increasing Indigenous jobs on our projects is an integral part of NRW’s philosophy.

Our Indigenous Employment & Training Policy aims, among other things, to increase levels of Indigenous employment and to assist the increase of social equity by improving Indigenous people’s income levels and employment opportunities.

Improving employment outcomes for Indigenous job seekers is a key element in providing economic independence, which will address the long-term disadvantage experienced by Indigenous Australians.

POWERUPPowerup, NRW’s Indigenous pre-employment program, provides opportunities for Indigenous candidates lacking entry level skills to break into the mining industry. Each Powerup Program is tailored to meet specific project requirements and guarantees all candidates employment with NRW on successful graduation.

The Program delivers competency based training using hands-on activities such as driving haul trucks and rollers, including OH&S practices and procedures, which is empowering for the candidates.

Since its inception in 2008, Powerup has progressed steadily, and over 250 graduates have been placed into the NRW workforce to date.

NRW and Njamal ICRG JV Pty Ltd established a Joint Venture to undertake works at Ironbridge Operations’ North Star Mine. Njamal are the Traditional Landowners for the area where North Star is situated, and this partnership enables the Njamal community to develop their business skills and capability with NRW’s experience and support, whilst providing employment opportunities to their people.

The Project commenced in November 2013 and continues until December 2015.

Approximately 120 people are employed at the mine on a 2:1 roster, and the JV has maintained 15% Indigenous employment at its peak.

The initial Project scope included mine development works such as mine access, road construction, bulk earthworks for the mine, process plant and infrastructure, road construction of the Great Northern Highway intersection to the Concentrate Handling Facility, Gabion ROM Wall construction, commissioning feed for the process plant and the pre-strip and mining of the main IMA pit.

The Project also involves mining of waste and ore hauled to the North Star ROM with a fleet consisting of a 190 tonne excavator and CAT 777 dump trucks. The Joint Venture has mined approximately 650,000 tonnes of ore in readiness for commissioning of the process plant.

NRW’s sister company, Action Drill and Blast, was engaged on the project to undertake drill and blast operations resulting in the elimination of interface issues between drill and blast and load and haul operations.

Equipment used at North Star consisted of the following:

MIDDLEMOUNT COALContract 1: Client: Middlemount Coal Joint Venture | Contract Mining Services | Value: $300 millionContract 2: Client: Middlemount Coal Joint Venture | Dry Hire | Value: $830 millionThe Middlemount Coal Project was the first mining contract awarded to NRW in Queensland and was NRW’s first contract in the coal mining industry.

The original five year mining Contract was awarded in 2011 and included; clear and grubbing, long and short term detailed mine scheduling and planning, drilling and blasting including design, load and haul of 36 million BCM of overburden each year plus approximately two million tonnes of coal.

In February 2013, the new owners and NRW Holdings Limited reached an agreement to restructure the Mining Services Contract with Middlemount Coal JV into a Dry Hire Contract. As both Peabody Energy and Yancoal are coal mine operators it was a logical step for the Middlemount Coal JV to become the operator of the Middlemount Mine.

As part of the new arrangement NRW now provides ongoing maintenance services for the fleet. The original contract was due for completion in June 2016, however a contract extension to June 2020 was recently awarded.

The Dry Hire Contract value is approximately $830 million.

CASE STUDY

WESTERN TURNER SYNCLINEClient: Rio Tinto | Value: $237 millionNRW and Eastern Guruma Pty Ltd, who represent the traditional landowners of the area for mining, established a 50/50 Joint Venture to undertake works at Rio Tinto’s Western Turner Syncline Mine.

There were approximately 450 people employed at the mine on a 2:1 roster and for the last two years of the Project the indigenous employment was maintained at greater then 26%.

The Project scope included design and setting up of three areas of the mine using contour mining methods to allow the client to have an immediate start at the contract end. Work included; establishment of new haul roads and separated light vehicles roads; construction of ROM pads and backfilling civil infrastructure that is adjacent to the mine.

The Project involved mining of ore which is hauled to the Western Turner ROM pad with a fleet of 785 and 777 dump trucks. The ore was then hauled to the Tom Price mine via a 15 kilometre purpose built road by a fleet of five 350T pit hauler off-highway road trains.

NRW mined approximately 500,000 BCM per month to achieve the nine million tonne per annum target. NRW’s sister company Action Drill & Blast was also engaged on this Project to undertake drill and blasting – as a result interface between the drill and blast and load and haul was significantly more efficient and productive than when with non-related contractors.

Equipment used at Western Turner Syncline Mine consisted of the following:

CHRISTMAS CREEK Client: Fortescue Metals Group | Value: $384 millionNRW undertook continuous mining operations at Fortescue’s Christmas Creek Mine utilising standard mining methods for overburden and selective mining of ore utilising surface miners within numerous mine pits.

The Project commenced in February 2009 and was completed in December 2012. During this time approximately 11 million BCM of overburden was moved and three million BCM of ore mined. NRW provided all short term planning for the Project load and haul, as well as drill and blast.

At the peak of the Project NRW were mining approximately 1 million BCM per month with a total manning capacity of 430 personnel.

NRW supplied services to operate and maintain all of NRW’s plant and equipment on site. Additionally NRW managed the maintenance of the client’s ultraclass trucks and excavators, highlighting NRW’s reputation for quality maintenance on remote sites. This high level of delivery was underpinned by NRW’s customised maintenance system, called MinePoint, which allows review and analysis of historical data as well as future planning with regards to major component change-outs and scheduled servicing.

The Simandou Mine is situated in a unique location on the Pic De Fon Mountain in Guinea (West Africa). NRW were contracted for the mining pre-development works in 2006 and were onsite continuously until finalising the Contract in December 2012.

The original scope of works developed into further assistance to Rio Tinto including the construction of the Beyla airstrip, surface mining trials, the National/Regional Roads Program and drill pad and access road construction.

NRW worked with local organisations and communities to provide constant education, training and competency evaluation to the French and local dialect speaking workforce.

The project had approximately 220 in country workforce comprised of expatriates and local personnel.
