Help Bring Capricorn Copper Back into Operation

29Metals is inviting expressions of interest from experienced professionals to support the proposed restart of our Capricorn Copper mine near Mount Isa in North West Queensland.

These opportunities are subject to a final investment decision and the required project and regulatory approvals.

About the Project

The proposed restart involves a substantial program of infrastructure and improvement works to support a safe and sustainable return to production. Works are expected to be staged over approximately two years.

Planned works include:

• Refurbishment and expansion of mine accommodation facilities.
• Construction of a new tailings storage facility and a large-scale water treatment plant.
• Upgrades and expansion of communications systems and the high-voltage network.
• Refurbishment and improvements to the processing plant.
• Construction of workshops, warehousing, and other supporting infrastructure.

Opportunities

We are seeking expressions of interest for the following roles:

• Contracts Officers
• Project Administrators
• Project Controllers
• Project Engineers
• Project Managers
• Project Supervisors
• Purchasing Officers
• Safety Advisors

These roles would be employed directly by 29Metals and be based either at Capricorn Copper or in a 29Metals office. Depending on your role and future operational requirements, there may also be opportunities for ongoing employment beyond the restart project.

Recruitment and start dates will align with project requirements. Rosters and other employment arrangements will be finalised and communicated when recruitment officially begins for approved vacancies.

About Capricorn Copper

Capricorn Copper is a high-grade underground copper and silver mine with a long operating history and significant potential for the future.

Following the suspension of operations due to flooding, water levels have been substantially reduced and are no longer an impediment to restarting production.

A restart Definitive Feasibility Study is progressing, with completion targeted for the end of 2026, alongside work on the necessary approvals and funding arrangements.

Next Steps

To express your interest in upcoming opportunities, apply now and specify the job categories and job types you are interested in on the application form that follows.

Our Recruitment Team will review your expression of interest and provide you with an update in due course. Since this is an expression of interest campaign rather than recruitment for a current vacancy, there may be a delay before we can provide an update.
