YMAC Annual Report 2022

Heritage
During the reporting period, YMAC’s Heritage
unit activities continued to rise as exploration
companies, major mining companies and government
infrastructure agencies worked to keep pace with
the current mining boom. To accommodate the
increase in project numbers, the Heritage unit
welcomed two new archaeologists and an
anthropologist.
COVID-19 continued to be a major consideration in the
execution of field projects. The Heritage unit worked
with Traditional Owners to develop COVID safety plans
to ensure everyone felt safe while protecting Country.
