About Us

Aurenne is a privately-owned company bringing a fresh and innovative approach to the gold sector. With a strong business foundation and a hands-on leadership style, we focus on safe, efficient, and cost-effective gold recovery that challenges traditional thinking.

At Aurenne, flexibility and adaptability drive our success. We embrace creative problem-solving, value teamwork at every level, and are committed to ensuring all employees go home safely each day. Our practical procedures, collaborative risk assessments, and proactive safety culture reflect our belief that every person matters.

We operate in open cut mining systems across multiple pits following the gold deposits to maximise gold recovery. The operations and facilities had workers in mind when they were designed and constructed. We are a small tight-knit 200+ person camp—with only around 170 people on-site at any time. The camp offers outstanding amenities: high-quality meals, comfortable accommodation, a gym, and a lit walking trail to support your wellbeing. With our own airstrip just a short flight from Perth, convenience and comfort are built in.

At Aurenne, everyone plays an integral role in our shared success. Join us, and become part of a team where innovation, teamwork, and safety come first.
