Fixed Plant Electricians

The Aurenne Group is a private company who acquired the historic Mt Ida - Bottle Creek gold field, 80 km west of Menzies in 2019.

As a private company our family owners recognise the most important building block to success lies in the strength of this ‘Team’, and building one that shares the owner's vision to be different. Sure, the mining industry is strong in Western Australia – but finding the right people fit is no easy task.

The plant commissioned by GR Engineering Ltd in April and May 2023, is a newly constructed Gold Processing Plant of 1.5m tpa CIL plant.

Its design allows for crushing to a fine grind size of 45 microns, maximizing gold recovery while also increasing plant throughput. Due to the site’s multiple pit nature, the plant is designed with flexibility in mind.
