Formalising an alliance which commenced in April 2017, the involvement covers multiple brownfield projects including support to the mine site, process plant and associated infrastructure. The team will continue to be located on site and in our Brisbane, Australia office.

“We are delighted to continue our relationship with Newcrest, working together to safely deliver a portfolio of projects to budget and schedule,” commented Gillian Cagney, Regional Managing Director, Australia & New Zealand. Creating further economic value and expanding opportunities for PNG nationals will remain a focus for both companies. More than 20 per cent of our Lihir team are nationals which contributes to Newcrest’s already impressive in-country employment.”

She adds: “Our community improvement programs have included the distribution of personal solar lights to children living in isolated villages, reforming a local beach with recycled mine-site tires and water sanitation for seaside communities. Worley has a strong history working with Newcrest, having delivered projects in Australia, PNG and Indonesia.”
