Cadia is a major gold and copper mining operation in central New South Wales, located near the regional city of Orange. Home to one of the world's largest underground gold and copper mines, Cadia combines innovation, technical excellence and a culture focused on safety and continuous improvement.

As a residential operation, many of our people live and work in the local community, enjoying the lifestyle, amenities and strong sense of connection the region offers. At Cadia, you'll be part of a collaborative team that values respect, inclusion and community partnership while contributing to one of Australia's most significant mining operations. The site offers the opportunity to build a rewarding career while remaining connected to family, community and regional life.

At Newmont, people create the value in the metals we mine and are ambassadors in the communities where they live and work. As a team, we foster an environment in support of our people vision, where everyone belongs, thrives and is valued. We have built a diverse and inclusive workplace where our people can bring their differences to support delivering results together.

Our Cadia Valley Operation in New South Wales is situated about 25 kilometres from Orange and 250 kilometres west of Sydney. Cadia produces gold doré bars from a gravity circuit and gold-rich copper concentrates from a flotation circuit. The operation includes the Cadia East Mine which is globally renowned for its use of block caving, a large-scale underground mining method.

We acknowledge the Wiradjuri people, traditional custodians of the land surrounding Cadia, and proudly run an Indigenous Buddy Program to enrich the workplace experience of our Indigenous employees. As a residential (drive-in / drive-out) mine, Cadia values community deeply, offering both financial and in-kind support to organizations across Blayney, Cabonne, and Orange townships.

The Orange region is often referred to as the gateway to Country New South Wales with acclaimed wineries, fine dining, annual festivals and charming heritage villages making for an unparalleled work-life balance.
