    Please Note:
    Damstra Mining Services are no longer accepting EFT payments for any transaction prior to invoicing. Alternative payment options are: Purchase Order, cheque (must supply a cheque with paperwork), & credit card. Upon receipt of invoice by your company, EFT payments are accepted.

    The process used to book inductions has changed. Please read the process outline detailed in this document.

    Please Note:

    This site is NOT affected by the new Xstrata Coal Generic Induction

    All contractors who are required to be inducted and appointed at the Site must be authorised by site before attending the induction.

    Induction bookings will be confirmed by Damstra Mining Services on receiving authorisation from site. All inductions close the Monday prior to the selected date at midday. No bookings are entered after this time & will need to be submitted for another available date.

    If authorisation is not received, or is declined by the Site, then the contractors will not be permitted to attend the induction.

    Please Note: As of October 2011, this induction is now only for the Mt Owen Mine.
    The Mt Owen CHPP is now run by XStrata. To be appointed at the CHPP, please view the information on the CHPP Page.


    The induction now runs until 2:30PM, and a lunch crib break is included. Lunch is not supplied so you will need to bring your own food, drinks, cups, etc.
