I worked at the Agnew mine in 2006 developing the paste plant system. The camp is located in the township of Leinster which houses other mine sites in the surrounding area. The induction were pretty intense and were held over 2 days. I liked the camp as they internet in every room and were pretty comfortable. They do not have a wet mess at camp anymore but there is a local tavern in town. The Agnew mine site was ok to work at as they are a long established mine. Would work there again
