Two former Eastern Goldfields College students are highlighting the pathways available to Aboriginal students in the Goldfields to pursue a career in the mining industry, says AngloGold Ashanti Australia vice-president of corporate affairs Andrea Maxey. AngloGold Ashanti is the world's third-biggest gold miner. Its Australian operations include the Sunrise Dam gold mine, 55km south of Laverton and the Tropicana gold mine, 330km east of Kalgoorlie-Boulder. Nici-Rose Martin and Gavin Rundle joined AngloGold's Tropicana operations at the start of the year. Ms Martin is a trainee in the site's business services and support department, while Mr Rundle is a first-year apprentice in the maintenance department. Both are former students of Kalgoorlie-Boulder's Eastern Goldfields College.
