Up to 116 jobs are set to be cut at mining operations connected to GFG Alliance in regional SA in the latest wave of redundancies across mining and steelworks operations in the area.
The job losses come after a wave of redundancies connected to the Whyalla Steel works operations over the last few months.It comes after 56 jobs were cut from GFG mining contractors in May, and 48 job losses at the Whyalla Steel works last month.GFG Alliance says it is part of a transition to magnetite ore mining as it ramps down hematite mine operations following depletion of reserves.More than 100 jobs are set to be cut at mining operations on the Eyre Peninsula, linked to GFG Alliance.
Eddie Hughes says he is concerned about the lack of certainty for people working on mining and steelworks projects in the region."Any job losses, especially job losses of this magnitude, has a bad impact on your community," local Labor MP Eddie Hughes said. "GFG's South Australian mining business has been liaising with its major contractor partners to plan and prepare for the transition to a greener future and magnetite ore mining with the required ramping down of its hematite mine where the hematite reserve is nearing depletion following 120 years of mining," the spokesperson said."We are now entering the next planned stage of this process with affected team members engaged in ongoing consultation in line with their EA.
