As a Field Maintenance Electrician at our Goonyella Riverside Mine, Jacob spends his shifts helping with machinery breakdowns, high voltage switching and fault finding. But, for the next three months, he will be putting down the tools and jumping on the bike to complete the ‘4 Points Challenge’ – a 17,000km ride reaching the four most extreme points of Australia. With an aim to cycle at least 12 hours every day, he’s glad he has his dad coming along as support crew. ‘I grew up in central Queensland and my father worked in the mines. Staying close to home while developing my career was great, and knowing I’ll have my dad there on the tough days of the ride will give me the motivation and the willpower to keep pushing.’ We’re all cheering you on, Kingy! #cycling #fitness #mining

We've signed contracts with COSCO Shipping Bulk Co. for the charter of two ammonia dual-fuelled Newcastlemax bulk carriers. These vessels will be two of only a handful in the world capable of using ammonia as a marine fuel. This represents an important step towards lowering shipping greenhouse gas emissions in the iron ore seaborne market and moving the maritime sector towards a decarbonised future. #shipping #maritime #mining

Jared came to the Jansen potash project after his brother suggested he apply for a job, but he stayed because he's excited to be part of something big for his local community. "The most exciting part of the job is what's happening right now. Everything is expanding, the mill is being built, the infrastructure is being built on site. It's so exciting to see it come to fruition and the decades of potash underneath us is what will allow future generations to be part of this project too." #canada #careers #mining
