Our Mission
Established in 1995 by Aboriginal businessman Daniel Tucker, Carey Mining is a company with a very special mission. Its goal is to build a large and profitable mining and civil contracting company, not simply to generate returns for its shareholders, but to provide meaningful, long-term training and employment for indigenous people. On a consistent basis over the past decade, more than half Carey Mining’s employees have been indigenous.
Our Point of Difference
Carey Mining’s cultural sensitivity and awareness are important factors in developing sound working relationships with local communities in remote mining areas in Western Australia’s goldfields. As Western Australia’s leading indigenous mining contractor, Carey Mining is uniquely placed to deliver added value to its clients in building local stakeholder relationships.
History
Lake Carey is situated 67 Kilometres south of Laverton. This Large inland salt lake has been used for thousands of years by the Wongatha people for maintaining traditional cultural practices. The freshwater catchment along the shores provides basic subsistence for the local people in particular attracting kangaroos, emus, small animals and birds.
