Final vac work with Newmont


content="Word.Document">

So I have just finished my final years vacation work experience with Newmont at the Tanami gold operation and once again the experience was loads of fun and invaluable to my studies and technical knowledge. This site known as 'The Granites' is the most remote mine in the whole of Australia! Having never worked with gold before this holidays I was happy to be able to get hands on experience in gold leaching, electro winning and smelting. In my time onsite I had the opportunity work on the mill, in the laboratory and get involved with some Metallurgical project based work focused around the cyclones and gravity circuit.
