"A really unique opportunity to be innovative..." 💡⚡♻️ There are so many possibilities for reusing land used for mining to benefit the local community. Serge Radojevic, Head of Renewables at Idemitsu Australia Pty Ltd., is working with his team on "innovative" plans for a new hydropower plant and solar farm. Using infrastructure still in place from 115 years of coal mining at the Muswellbrook Coal site, the new precinct will feed renewable energy into the grid for NSW families and businesses and create hundreds of local jobs. #responsiblemining #idemitsuaustralia #idemitsu #renewables #hydropower #energy #nswmining #postmininglanduse #australianmining AGL

We want to introduce you to Tom, an engineer who is working on restoring the land used for mining in the Hunter Valley. Specifically, Tom works for Thiess at MACH Energy Australia Pty Ltd Mount Pleasant Operations near Muswellbrook. Tom uses a D11 Dozer to move earth dumps and create a natural-looking landform. Soon, topsoil will be laid, and seeds will be planted to create lush bushland for the future. That’s because we want to attract native animals and wildlife back to the land after mining is finished. Teams of people are working hard to rehabilitate mined land like this all across the state in accordance with NSW law. And often, the land is returned to a better standard than before mining started for a range of productive uses.

"I'm really excited to be part of an enormous intergenerational movement..." ⚡ Serge Radojevic is passionate about his work on the Muswellbrook Pumped Hydro project as Head of Renewables at Idemitsu Australia Pty Ltd. The site was home to Muswellbrook Coal mine for 115 years until 2022. It is now under rehabilitation to restore the land so it can be used as a renewable energy generation and storage precinct. This is an exciting example of how the land used for mining in NSW can be reused to create significant ongoing benefits for NSW. #responsiblemining #idemitsuaustralia #idemitsu #renewables #hydropower #energy #nswmining #postmininglanduse #australianmining

Our CEO is calling out 'whining protesters' in today's Daily Telegraph: ❗Lock the Gate last week hosted activists from Sydney on a bus tour of the Hunter Valley so they could ‘peer-and-sneer’ at local mines and the people who work there. ❗And this week, Blockade Australia has been putting themselves and others at risk by illegally and dangerously blocking coal trains on the rail line into Newcastle. ➡️ Read the full article here: https://bit.ly/4eHvLZq #nswmining #activism #professionalactivists #lockthegate #blockadeaustralia #mining #portofnewcastle

Thank you to Evolution Mining's Northparkes Operations for welcoming us in such fine style! 🕺 Parkes is known for The Dish (CSIRO's Parkes Observatory), farming, copper and gold mining, and, of course, the town’s annual Elvis Festival! Recognised as one of the top festivals in Australia, the iconic Parkes Elvis Festival attracts at least 25,000 fans from around the world each year! The annual Parkes Elvis Festival is held in the second week of January, coinciding with Elvis Presley’s birthday. The Evolution Mining Northparkes Operations Street Parade is the major annual highlight of the Parkes Elvis Festival, and it’s clear that everyone on site is happy to get behind it! Elvis-themed floats, vintage and classic cars and motorcycles join Elvis and Priscilla look-alikes and marching bands as they march through the streets of Parkes. The community cherishes this event, and Northparkes has been proud to support it for many years. #elvisfestival #elvis #evolutionmining #northparkes #nswmining #copper #gold #australianmining #northparkesoperations
