Our people Our people Ernest Henry Mining Henry Wang – Vacation Student (Electrical Engineering), helps to set up scrapers for magnetite filtration at Ernest Henry Mining Employment In 2010 Ernest Henry Mining (EHM) provided jobs for 911 people (401 permanent and 50 fixed-term and casual employees, 249 permanent contractors and an average of 211 project contractors). Our rate of voluntary employee turnover for 2010 averaged 10% which is similar to turnover in 2009 despite different circumstances during these years. Turnover in 2009 declined due to a roster change in 2008, whereas 2010 saw an increased staff turnover rate as a result of the impending open pit mine closure and a number of employees leaving for more long-term, permanent opportunities. Average voluntary turnover of 10% is lower than the voluntary turnover rate of 17.6% reported by Queensland participants in the Resources Industry Turnover Analysis. Staff turnover in 2010 increased consistent with the changing business focus at EHM and in particular the scheduled closure of the open pit mine, and development and eventual opening of the magnetite plant and underground mine. Open cut mining and underground mining are significantly different and not all of the open pit mine employees have elected to transition to an underground role. Where employees have elected to leave, we are working on a ‘transition to life after EHM’ plan for individual employees so that the transition is smooth and supported. Employment profile – Ernest Henry Mining Employees All permanent and temporary employees receive the same benefits, with the exception of casual employees who receive a higher base pay rate to compensate for paid leave provisions. Trainees are employed on a casual basis and once they are deemed competent are offered permanent positions with all benefits, inclusive of leave, roster allowances and various other mine-specific allowances.

Our people Employing locally EHM is a fly-in/fly-out operation. Preference is given to potential employees from the local Cloncurry community, however technical and professional skills are not always available locally. All employees in professional and technical roles are offered the option of relocating to Cloncurry at company expense. In 2010 EHM introduced a number of improved incentives to encourage more workers to move to Cloncurry. See the case study on page 52 for more detail. Following on from 2008 and 2009, when EHM introduced a replacement-only recruitment strategy, due to the anticipated closure of open pit operations, 2010 saw increased employee and contractor numbers to accommodate the underground mine and magnetite build projects. The EHM Village increased from 284 permanent ensuite rooms to 384 permanent and 200 temporary ensuite rooms. Training and education EHM has a number of career opportunities available to our employees, including: Building leadership The Leadership Development Program (LDP) provides participants with leadership skills and the program incorporates leadership, coaching for performance, planning and communication. In 2010, 88 EHM employees attended the program, with 56 participants completing the course. EHM continued to roll out the Life Styles Inventory (LSI) program to all supervisors. In 2010, 38 EHM employees participated in an LSI survey which is a 360 degree leadership style peer review with follow up coaching. Fostering apprentices In 2010, two apprentices from the electrical and mechanical disciplines completed their third year and one apprentice graduated. In 2011, six new apprenticeships (four maintenance and two electrical) will commence at EHM.
