🇦🇺 GLENCORE BEGINS TRADING ON THE ASX UNDER CODE GLC

Glencore has officially begun trading on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) under the ticker GLC, marking another milestone in its long-standing presence in Australia.

Glencore CEO Gary Nagle described the move as an exciting day for the company and highlighted Australia’s importance to its global resources business.

“We believe our portfolio of mainly brownfield copper growth projects provides us with a clear pathway to become one of the world’s largest copper producers,” Nagle said.

He also highlighted Australia’s sophisticated investment community, saying:

“Glencore has been investing in Australia for decades and we know the Australian investment community has a sophisticated understanding of global resources and commodity markets.”

Copper is expected to play an important role in meeting demand from power grids, renewable energy, electric vehicles and AI data centres.

📊 GLENCORE’S AUSTRALIAN FOOTPRINT

⛏️ 16 active mining operations
🏭 7 metals processing facilities
👷 16,820 employees and contractors
💰 $95 billion contributed directly to the Australian economy over five years
🏗️ Support for more than 6,440 Australian-based businesses
🇦🇺 More than $24 billion paid in taxes and royalties to Australian governments over five years

Glencore also says it is Australia’s largest producer of coal, cobalt, nickel, lead and zinc, with operations spanning mining, processing, technology and energy.

With its primary listing in London and an existing secondary listing in Johannesburg, the ASX listing expands the ways Australian investors can access the company.

For the resources sector, Glencore’s focus on copper growth projects is worth watching as demand for the metal continues to be driven by electrification and infrastructure development.

⛏️ A major new copper mine is moving ahead in the Northern Territory, with hundreds of potential job opportunities on the horizon.

⛏️ Jervois Copper Project: Up to 550 Mine Workers Expected

KGL Resources has made the final investment decision for its Jervois Copper Project, backed by approximately A$689 million in funding. Located around 380 km northeast of Alice Springs, the project is expected to create:

👷 Up to 350 construction jobs
⚙️ Up to 550 ongoing operational jobs at peak production

The development will include open-cut and underground mining, plus a processing plant designed to handle 2 million tonnes of ore annually.

Potential workforce needs could span civil construction, heavy equipment operation, mechanical and electrical maintenance, processing, mining operations, logistics and site support.

📅 First copper production is targeted for the first half of 2028, with open-cut mining scheduled to commence in 2027.

For FIFO and mining job seekers, this is a project worth watching as construction progresses and contractors build their teams.

These are projected workforce numbers, not 900 confirmed vacancies. Keep an eye on KGL Resources and its contractors for actual recruitment announcements.

🇦🇺 WHY AUSTRALIA’S WILDLIFE HAS EVERYONE ON HIGH ALERT 🐍🦈

From swooping magpies to sharks in the ocean, Australia’s wildlife has a reputation that’s hard to beat. But the real stats might surprise you!

🦈 SHARKS: Australia averages around 27 shark incidents involving injuries each year over the past decade, with an average of 2.7 fatalities annually.

🐍 BROWN SNAKES: Brown snakes were linked to 200 hospitalisations in Australia in 2021–22, according to national health data.

🕷️ REDBACK SPIDERS: They can deliver a painful, medically significant bite, but Australia has recorded no deaths from a confirmed spider bite since 1979.

🐊 CROCODILES: A serious threat in their natural habitat, particularly in northern Australia. Never swim in crocodile warning areas.

🐦 MAGPIES: They might look harmless, but swooping season can make cyclists, walkers and anyone protecting their head think twice!

Here’s the twist: Australia recorded 4,980 hospitalisations from wildlife-related injuries in 2021–22, excluding marine animals. The country’s wildlife is fascinating, but the risks vary hugely by species and location.

So, which animal would you be MOST nervous to encounter? 👀

⛏️ WA mining employment is shifting, but the industry is still much bigger than a decade ago.

Western Australia recorded 134,009 on-site mining FTE positions in 2024–25, down slightly from the previous year.

📊 The bigger picture?
- Employment grew 28.3% in five years, adding nearly 30,000 positions.
- Gold mining added over 5,000 FTEs in 2025, while iron ore gained around 1,000.
- Nickel and lithium experienced significant employment declines.

💰 Meanwhile, WA's resources sector generated $226 billion in sales during 2025, with investment reaching a decade-high $34 billion.

For FIFO job seekers, opportunities can vary by commodity and project. Keeping an eye on where investment is flowing could help you prepare for future mining roles.

⛏️ AN OLD GOLD MINE COULD HAVE MORE TO OFFER. Could this bring future opportunities for mining workers?

Peak Hill in New South Wales is back in the spotlight after new drilling revealed gold and copper mineralisation deep beneath its former open pit.

And while this doesn't mean the mine is reopening just yet, the latest results give exploration teams more reasons to investigate what could still lie underground. 👀

📍 Here's what's happening at Peak Hill:

🪨 Drilling reached 1,651 metres deep, identifying mineralisation approximately one kilometre beneath the former Proprietary pit.

🔬 One intersection returned 153 metres grading 0.11 grams of gold per tonne and 0.02% copper, including a 4.8-metre section grading 0.46 grams of gold per tonne.

⛏️ The former mine has an estimated inferred resource of 1.02 million tonnes, grading 3.29 grams of gold per tonne and 0.15% copper.

📅 Alkane Resources plans another 6,600 metres of drilling from November, targeting the area between the newly identified mineralisation and the existing resource.

💰 The latest exploration program also received $165,000 in NSW Government funding.

Peak Hill has a long mining history. Gold was discovered in the district in 1889, and Alkane operated the modern open-cut mine between 1998 and 2005.

Now, further exploration could help determine whether the deeper mineralisation has potential for future development.

What could this mean for mining workers?

If exploration progresses toward a viable development, future stages could create opportunities across drilling, geology, earthmoving, heavy equipment maintenance, site services and mining operations.

Sometimes, the next chapter of a mining town starts with what is discovered beneath an old operation.

Australia is home to some of the world’s most spectacular sunsets! 🇦🇺✨

If watching the sun dip below the horizon is on your bucket list, these two Aussie destinations deserve a spot on it!

🏜️ Uluṟu-Kata Tjuṯa National Park ranked joint 8th globally, while South Australia’s Flinders Ranges secured 14th place in a meteorologist-led study comparing more than 150 destinations worldwide.

The study considered factors such as cloud cover, rainfall, light pollution and sunset duration.

The world’s top spot went to Wadi Rum in Jordan, but Australia certainly holds its own when it comes to breathtaking golden-hour views!

📍 Which would you choose for sunset: Uluṟu or the Flinders Ranges?

From a young and isolated economy to a major player on the global stage.

Australia’s economic story has been shaped by its vast natural resources, expanding trade, agriculture, mining, and the gradual growth of a diverse services sector. Over generations, these industries helped transform Australia’s economic structure and connect the country more closely with global markets.

Today, Australia’s economy includes everything from mining and agriculture to finance, healthcare, education, technology, and professional services. Recent ABS data shows services remain a major part of economic activity, while mining and other goods industries continue to play an important role.

It’s a fascinating journey of economic change, and one that continues to evolve. 🇦🇺📈

How do you think Australia’s economy will look 20 years from now? 👇
