What a turnout. What an event.
Around 200 girls recently attended the Chamber of Minerals and Energy of Western Australia (CME) Inspiring Girls Careers Forum to learn about career opportunities in the resources sector.
Odelia, Dani, Debbie and Brenda from our Murrin Murrin operations shared their personal career stories with the students to increase awareness of the diverse career pathways, benefits and opportunities for women working in the industry.
They also talked about how nickel and cobalt are produced at the site. We look forward to welcoming the next generation to Glencore soon.
@MikeCarlton01 In the last decade, Glencore has paid over $19 billion in taxes and royalties in Australia, including $2.9 billion last year. We’re very proud of the economic contribution our operations make in Australia including jobs and supporting regional businesses and communities.
Credit to our Bulga, Glendell, United Wambo, Ravensworth and Liddell coal operations.
Our people showed their neighbourly spirit in assisting Broke residents in flood recovery work.
“Bulga was certainly the first on the ground, we’re located close to the community. But we put the call out to all our Glencore sites in the Hunter Valley and just about every site chipped in as best they could which is awesome. It’s been a real team Glencore effort on the ground at Broke for sure,” Bulga Operations Manager, David Foster said.
For International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples, we connected with Rebecca Gentle, the Senior Community Engagement Advisor at McArthur River Mine (MRM).

Meet Rebecca Gentle.
Working at our McArthur River Mine in the Community Engagement space, Rebecca grew up in Forbes.
Fishing and camping have always been passions of hers and something she’s continued since relocating to the remote Northern Territory.
“Growing up, my dad worked in mining, so I understood what it all meant but it wasn’t a thing I really aspired to,” she said.
“I actually started out in Human Resources (HR) for 12 months and fell into this role of community engagement. I started in February 2013 and nine years later I’m still here.”
Rebecca’s primary role at MRM is managing a program to consult and work closely with the local community of Borroloola (some 60 kilometres downstream from the mine).
She splits her week between working at site and in town, which provides the flexibility to work closely with the community, which has a large Indigenous population.
