Jobs to go at Perilya mine at Broken Hill after company announces restructure

BY DECLAN GOOCH AND SOFIE WAINWRIGHT

Perilya is making 90 to 100 positions redundant at its Southern Operations mine in Broken Hill.

ABC NEWS: GAVIN COOTE

Up to 100 jobs will be cut from Perilya's silver, lead and zinc mine at Broken Hill in far west New South Wales.

The mining company announced a major restructure this morning, partly blaming low metal prices for the move.

The announcement is a blow for Broken Hill where the local economy is tied closely to the fortunes of both Perilya and fellow local miner CBH Resources.

"We are looking at a situation where between 90 and 100 of our employees will be made redundant," Perilya managing director Paul Arndt said.

In addition, the company said up to 40 full-time equivalent roles for contractors would also be lost from the mine.

Perilya's entire staff of 460 met this morning and were told that about 20 per cent of the workforce at Broken Hill's Southern Operations mine would lose their jobs.

Forty workers applied for voluntary redundancies, with 34 of those accepted, meaning the balance of the cuts will be made up of forced layoffs.

Employees have received letters indicating whether their employment would be continuing.

"One is indicating that their employment will be continuing and the other is an indication that your position will be made redundant," Mr Arndt said.

"With those people that have obtained that second letter, some of those will be asked to take alternative roles."

Lead and zinc prices have crashed over the past year, prompting cuts at several Australian mines.

CBH Resources earlier this year announced 116 workers would lose their jobs at the Endeavour mine in Cobar, four hours from Broken Hill.

Perilya has also said poorer-than-expected quality of ore extracted from the Southern Operations mine contributed to the need for the restructure.

The company is part-owned by Chinese firm Zhongjin Lingnan, which has had to inject money to prop up Perilya in recent months.

"We recognise that the Southern Operations have consistently found it difficult to perform to our expectations, largely because it's a very old mine and we've been asking more and more from that mine," Mr Arndt said.

Mr Arndt said output from the Southern Operations mine would be reduced to 70 per cent of current extraction.

He said the restructure would likely allow Perilya to generate cash, but was unsure whether it would result in an overall profit.

Perilya company secretary Paul Marinko told the ABC earlier this month that its operations in Broken Hill had lost around $30 million over the past year.

'It's not good for our town'
Local vice-president of the Construction, Forestry, Mining and Energy Union (CFMEU) Greg Braes said there was little the union could do to lessen the impact.

"The union can't make companies not get rid of people. That's the decision they've come up with," Mr Braes said.

"All we can do is make sure that everyone's paid as per their entitlements under the [Enterprise Bargaining Agreement] and make sure everything is done above board."

Mr Braes voiced concern about the potential impact on Broken Hill, which has a population of about 18,000.

"It's not good times and it's hard on all sides when these sorts of things happen," he said.

"I suppose it always will be the mining game but it's not good and it's not good for our town."

He warned that employees who took alternative positions at Perilya may find themselves earning less in their new roles.

Some positive news coming out of Broken Hill after the job cuts back in March.

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-07-2...h-mine/7664452

Broken Hill miner reports profit after job cuts, as work continues to reopen North Mine

ABC Broken Hill By Andrew Schmidt and Declan Gooch

Posted Wed at 10:54am

Mining company Perilya says it is now making a profit in Broken Hill, months after letting go of about 20 per cent of its workforce in far-west New South Wales.

The company, one of two large miners in Broken Hill, has also received initial approval from the State Government to commence some work at the city's long-dormant North Mine.

Perilya Broken Hill general manager Bruce Byrne said the company's return to the black in the second quarter of 2016 was partly due to significant staff cuts in March.

"We've lowered our overall operating cost, our cost per mining tonne, quite substantially," he said.

"We've also lowered our cost of metal production.

"So if you can do that, along with a little bit of relief on metal prices, it has definitely given us a benefit."

More than 100 workers at the Southern Operations mine were told earlier this year they would lose their jobs, a decision partly blamed on low metal prices.

Mr Byrne said the last time the company made a profit was probably in early 2015.

Perilya told the ABC before the redundancies were announced its operations in Broken Hill had lost about $30 million in a year.

Work to begin on North Mine this year

Most of Perilya's work in Broken Hill is remnant mining, and the poor quality of the ore extracted from the Southern Operations mine was a factor in the job cuts.

The company also owns the North Mine in Broken Hill, which was shut in 1993, but a preliminary plan to re-open it has now been approved by the State Government.

Perilya believed there was high-quality ore more than a kilometre below the surface and remnant ore further up.

"We've been able to obtain an interim mine operating plan and we've had that approved for the North Mine," Mr Byrne said.

"That allows us to do a lot of the set-up work at the North Mine and we have commenced that set-up work already."

The company needs to pump out water that has seeped into the mine before it can commence any mining operations.

It has already begun an upgrade of electrical infrastructure on the surface, and is expecting to start rehabilitation of the pit in the next four to six weeks.

"We're going to start off slow, we'll start off with one development crew, support crews and some maintenance people up there," Mr Byrne said.

"So by the end of the year we'll probably only have somewhere between 10 and 20 people working at the North Mine."

Mr Byrne said Perilya was planning to mine a small amount of ore this year for metallurgical testing.

"It really would be two to three years before we can be mining at the rates that the North is sustained by."

Nope, but, damn what a difference a few months makes. Its really quite scary how quickly things can change.

We are flat out but because we have no staff, still punching out targets and client is looking to open another site next quarter (was always on the cards).

Adani starting to heat up aswell which will open the door for Gina in that area.

From what I have seen you have to know someone.

There have been a few people at our site getting a start lately with no mine experience.

Some skills always cross industries.Apply like hell, read the job app properly.

I have NFI how some people who are in the industry got to where they are. Many many sites now also are only hiring through labour hire. May change in a year or so but its tough getting in.

Whats your background? Find a site in the middle of no where and get some runs on the board, then its easy.

Sounds like the CHPP would be a good start, contact Sedgmens.

Hey mate, appreciate the offer to help get me a foot in the door - i really do.
Im the same, only ever got jobs off my own back and on my own merits but this just seems to be one of those industries that it doesnt seem to matter.
Im not in WA, im in Vic and i know thats a negative just to start with.
Probably in the same boat age wise as well - late 30s, which also doesnt help much either

One of my sons-in-law owns a company that supplies services to mines.

Been quieter (after the boom) but kept afloat with what work they've had plus as they own all their equipt they could just park it up.

He recently tendered for a large contract with another 2 in the pipeline. If successful he'll have all his gear employed so basically back to where it was a few years ago.

Definitely on the up...

Its been very steady, no one wants to admit flat out crazy, for atleast 10 months now.

I know staff are being worked pretty hard, activity level has increased but everyone is seems to scared to hire.

Owners seem to be advertising alot though.

Im still in the Blackwater region but Im slowly making plans to move on, looking to be home more with the kids.
