Great to be part of this year’s Waihi College Careers Day alongside OceanaGold Waihi, sharing the range of career opportunities available in the mining industry. Awesome for students to hear directly from some of our team — including former Waihi College students — about their pathways into the sector.

Yesterday afternoon, Ralph & Anneli were out flying the Alton Drilling banner at Careers Day at Waihi College.

They spent the afternoon talking with students about drilling career pathways and employment opportunities locally in Waihi and across the wider region.

It was a great chance to connect with the next generation and share what our industry has to offer.
