Images of GAC’s Staff Christmas function, which took place in Tom Price in March. It
was celebrated at Tom Price Bowling Club. Many thanks go to Carol Nicholson for all of
her hard work in organising the event, as well as her amazing decorative skills! The GAC
management and staff (as well as some partners and children) had a thoroughly enjoyable
evening.
In March, GAC’s Board of Directors and selected management and staff were invited by Rio Tinto to the Yandicoogina
(Yandi) mine for the quarterly Monitoring and Liaison meeting, as well as the annual guided tour of the mine. The visit gave
GAC the opportunity to have a first hand look at the mine’s current iron ore operations as well as expansion plans. The Yandi
Land Use Agreement ensures that significant benefits will be delivered via GAC to the Banyjima, Nyiyapali and Innawonga
people for the life of the mine. Images courtesy of GAC Director Stephen Peterson.
