BACKGROUND
Dolphin Tungsten Mine has a long and distinguished history. The deposit was first discovered in 1911 and has been operating on and off since. Group 6 Metals recommenced operations in 2023 with commercial production of tungsten concentrate.
CHALLENGE
Finding skilled labour for certain tasks for remote King Island, Dolphin Tungsten Mine can be a challenge. There is a need for transitory workers to cover certain skills and experience, particularly around the operation start-up.
SOLUTION
JACS was engaged to fill a labour shortage at the mine and provided skilled boilermakers and fitters for the mine’s maintenance of plant and equipment.
