Overall it was a very eye-opening experience that has cemented my desire to enter into the mining industry.
If you are looking for an opportunity to be fully immersed into the industry, I recommend that you join the Evolution Mining Vacation Program as it has completely opened my eyes to a new career path. I’ve learnt many things and had the opportunity to apply my theoretical background knowledge from UQ to the practical applications and processes of Mining Engineering.
Our Summer Vacation Program is open to students in their penultimate year of study.
Benefits information above is provided anonymously by current and former Evolution Mining employees, and may include a summary provided by the employer. Through discussions with the other staff I developed an understanding of the process required for a tenement to turn into a viable mine. Through the use of GIS spatial analysis software, I focused on data analysis and the application of the raw data collected within the field and how it is processed to discover new deposits. At the end of the day, you get out of it what you put in, and I will always cherish my initial steps into the mining industry.Working for Evolution Mining was an incredible experience.

Drummond is a fledgling green-fields project and I was lucky enough to be involved with the initial setup of the project.
Our summer 2016/17 Vacation Program is coming to an end and we are delighted to hear positive feedback from our students. This deposit hosts a complicated geology, which challenged me to improve my technical knowledge. I learnt about some of the programs used in the industry such as Leapfrog and Grass GIS. Running for four weeks and commencing in either November or January the program will provide you with real commercial experience across a variety of different projects and industries. I would recommend this program to anyone who wants to gain some practical experience on site in processing, you won’t regret it.I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Evolution Mining’s Mt Rawdon operation.
The non-IFRS information should not be viewed as a substitute for, or superior to, other data prepared in accordance with IFRS. I came into the Vacation program hoping to gain practical experience from my Chemical Engineering degree and I certainly did.
As a result, I am more confident in my technical skills and what I have learned from this program will be invaluable to my career going forward. Working in exploration from the Sydney office I discovered the technical side of exploration.
I was also given projects to complete which provided me with a strong sense of responsibility with a chance to demonstrate my commitment to learning and working within the mining environment.

I would recommend this program to anyone who wants to gain some practical experience on site in processing, you won’t regret it. I was not sure what to expect as a vacation student, but the Evolution Team went above and beyond those expectations (I did not get stuck with the boring jobs that’s for sure). In addition, I had little experience or knowledge of metallurgy coming into the program. While working on site I was able to grow this knowledge whilst improving my lab and Excel skills, spend time with operators and seeing what it takes to commission new pieces of equipment. I learnt about other types of data such as IP and drone-mag and how these are collected and interpreted when compared with other data sets.
