Joshua

Process Operator

Joshua has been a process operator for more than three years, joining the Golden Grove team just under a year ago. He works a two-week on and two-week off roster.

"What I enjoy most about working for 29Metals is that each day is different and the satisfaction I get from solving problems when they arise.

Golden Grove also offers plenty of after work activities onsite that you can enjoy with your teammates.

It is easily the best work/life balance roster I have done. Having the two weeks at home allows me time to get stuck into projects around the house and spend quality time with my family."

Jade

Personal Assistant to the
General Manager Operations

Jade has worked for Capricorn Copper for five years and is based in Brisbane, Queensland.

“Three weeks a month I work from home, and one week a month I’m based on site. Returning to work after having my child was always the goal and Capricorn Copper worked with me closely to accommodate this unique roster and job role to suit that lifestyle.

I run the administration function for the site, providing assistance to the senior leadership team and co-ordinating with the other administrators and the finance team.

My favourite aspect of my role is working with people across the entire site. I’ve been lucky enough to call Capricorn Copper my second home for five years and it’s the interactions with all on site that keeps me here.

I’ve watched the business change and grow over this time and am lucky to have been here through that evolution. It makes me proud to work for such a supportive and diverse company.”

Angela

Payroll and HR Officer

Angela started with 29Metals in June 2024, working in the Melbourne office.

“The people are lovely and the work is great. I’m looking forward to collaborating further with the team to improve processes and procedures and to continue to make positive changes together.

Working in the city is handy and we also have work from home flexibility which makes the balance great.”

Nyasha

Principal Mining Engineer

Nyasha is a mining engineer based in our Perth office. He’s been with 29Metals since shortly after the company listed in 2021.

“I work five days a week from the Perth office, with scheduled monthly site visits. I also have the option to work from home. It fits perfectly with my work and life balance as I can be home with my family most nights.

In the past I’ve worked across several commodities both in Australia and internationally and my current role allows me to make the most of my technical and operational mining experience.

It's great to work with such a supportive senior management team. They have created a strong, conducive work environment for the 29Metals team.”

Cory

Senior Project Engineer

Cory has worked at Capricorn Copper for over six years and is involved in the execution of capital projects at site.

“My role includes project scoping, procurement, cost control, contractor management, construction activities, and commissioning. I enjoy the variety of different projects I get to work on and the satisfaction of seeing the finished product once the various projects are complete.

I work an 8/6 roster which offers a good work/life balance and fits in with my lifestyle outside of work.”

Luka Thorpe

Analyst

Luka has worked at 29Metals since shortly after the company listed in 2021. Prior to joining, Luka participated in an internship with EMR Capital, the specialist resource private equity fund that established 29Metals.

"In my time at 29Metals I’ve participated in a variety of development opportunities. The company invests in their people and fosters individual growth.

It’s a really exciting industry to be involved in. 29Metals make a meaningful contribution by producing copper and other metals required for the clean energy transition. It’s both challenging and rewarding and I think that’s what makes the industry so great.”
