Partnership with Katherine Landcare Group Vista Gold is proud to support the Katherine Landcare Group with funding for two environmental projects aimed at improving land management in the Katherine River catchment area. The projects deal with the management of weeds by landowners in the Katherine River catchment and improving degraded sites throughout the Katherine region. Vista Gold’s funding will support Landcare’s “Need help with weeds” and “Protecting the biodiversity of the Katherine, Edith, Cullen and Ferguson river catchments” projects. The “Need help with weeds” project provides herbicide, loans equipment and provides advice to landholders in the Katherine River catchment to enable them to identify and treat infestations of invasive woody weeds on their properties and adjacent crown lands. The biodiversity project will assist Landcare to grow several thousand native seedlings for revegetation. School of the Air visits Mt Todd
School of the Air visits Mt Todd Hard hats, safety glasses and two way radios were the topics of discussion for some students recently when their classroom took on a very different form at the Mt Todd mine site. Seven students from the Werenbun Community and their teachers from Katherine School of the Air mounted a field excursion to the mine site. Vista Gold staff took time out to host their special guests and provide safety induction training prior to their visit to the site. The students learnt about the minerals of the area, the amount of rock that would need to be mined to produce an ounce of gold and the importance of safety equipment when working on a mine site. Equipped with reflective vests, sun glasses and hard hats they headed to the Batman pit to have a go at water sampling and testing the pit’s pH level. Ten year old Patrick said that the excursion was great and particularly liked testing the water. While Krystal said she liked looking at the big hole full of water. All students loved the opportunity of being a scientist for the day. Vista Gold General Manager Brent Murdoch was pleased to welcome the students to the mine. “Who knows?” he said “Maybe we have some future miners here, it was a great opportunity to show them what we are doing and I think the staff enjoyed the visit as much as the kids.
Nixon's X-ing Campdraft
Vista Gold is proud to contribute to the Nixon's X-ing Campdraft through its sponsorship of the 4 & Under Working Horses Challenge. The Campdraft plays a key role in the Katherine community social calendar and a significant role in training young riders and raising funds for charity. This year, Mt Todd Site Supervisor Shane Wuttke presented the category winners with their winning ribbons. Congratulations to everyone who participated.
Created in Australia between 1880 and 1890 Campdrafting is based on drovers selecting individual cattle to “cut out” from the mob. The modern camp draft competition includes a full program of campdrafting and challenges for riders and horses of all capabilities. The Nixon X-ing event attracts entrants from across Australia with the 2010 event gaining 910 entries from Queensland, Western Australia, New South Wales and the Northern Territory.
