AusIMM announces partnership with leading gold miner, Newmont
The Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy (AusIMM) has officially launched a two-year partnership with the world’s leading gold company, Newmont Corporation.
The key partnership between AusIMM and Newmont will focus on providing support to Newmont’s employees through membership and professional development opportunities as well as driving industry mentoring initiatives, building diversity and inclusion within the sector and championing thought leadership.
Newmont’s success, spanning 100 years is characterised by its purpose to create value and improve lives through sustainable and responsible mining. As the peak body representing resources professionals, AusIMM CEO Stephen Durkin welcomed the opportunity to combine efforts with Newmont to support robust safety standards and technical proficiency.
“Working with leading mining companies like Newmont enables a co-ordinated approach to advancing initiatives that further support the mining workforce at Newmont and in the broader industry,” said Mr Durkin.
“Through this partnership AusIMM can continue to build an industry that embraces the diversity and capability of all people working in mining, supporting professionals through all stages of their career.”
Newmont Australia Regional Senior Vice President, Alex Bates, said the formation of the two-year partnership with AusIMM extended the existing informal relationship between the two companies.
“Newmont has many employees who are long-time members of AusIMM, based both here in Australia and across our global operations. The opportunity to formalise our partnership while accelerating the development of inclusive and diverse workplaces is important for both organisations, and the wider industry. We look forward to working together,” said Mr Bates.
