In May 2018, New Century Resources awarded an historic mining services contract at the Century zinc mine in Queensland to the Waanyi Downer Joint Venture (WDJV).

The contract with WDJV is part of a unique compensation arrangement New Century has reached with the Waanyi People.

The agreement is an industry-first and has been described as a viable mechanism to recognise the value of Indigenous Cultural Heritage, empowering Traditional Owner communities that have mining developments within their traditional lands. Learn more about the WDJV in the video below.
