Perth, Australia Westgold Resources Full time

Westgold Resources is shaping the future of gold mining in Western Australia. We are looking for passionate and dedicated individuals to join our team who shares our vision of building a sustainable and profitable major Australian gold business.

**About the opportunity**

Westgold Resources is seeking experienced Alternate Underground Managers to join our growing team. Due to our recent merger and increased operational opportunities, we are looking for an Alternate Underground Manager on a permanent 8:6 roster based at our CGO: Big Bell Operation.

Since commercial production was declared in FY22, the Big Bell mine has consistently produced above its designed capacity of 800-900ktpa. In FY23, Big Bell continued to expand, producing 1.13Mt of ore at 2.6g/t.

In November 2023, the Board approved expansion of Big Bell to the zone beneath the existing sub level cave using an open stoping with paste fill mining method. This zone is expected to extend the overall mine life of Big Bell to more than 16 years while simultaneously increasing the mined grade.

The Fender underground mine, which was paused in early FY23, recommenced in October 2023, providing additional feed to the Tuckabianna processing hub. This mine operates as an extension to the Big Bell mine given its close proximity and ability to leverage Big Bell infrastructure.
