GMA Middle East team participated in a beach-cleaning activity this past weekend. Over 30 people came together to clear the beach of cigarette butts and other waste. These included some team members’ children, who rallied the adults with their enthusiasm. The activity was organized by Goumbook and is part of their Save The Butts campaign, in which cigarette butts are collected and transformed into other products, such as cladding for buildings. Of his team’s efforts, General Manager, Soni John, said “It’s always great to see the people of GMA contribute, both at work and in the community, to furthering the circular economy. We work with a mineral that can be reprocessed several times, thus keeping it out of the landfill. And now we have contributed to keeping cigarettes from the landfill, and out of the environment where they could cause harm.” https://hubs.ly/Q030vmW60 #gmalife #community #beachcleanup #circulareconomy

This festive season, the GMA Perth team came together to support two meaningful initiatives making a difference in the community. Shopping for toys for the children this Christmas, the team donated to the Kmart Wishing Tree Appeal, in support of the The Salvation Army, and, to the Palace Tower Christmas Collection, supporting charities including Variety, the Children's Charity WA and Ruah Community Services. Giving back to the communities we live and work in is an important part of GMA’s values, and we’re proud to be able to contribute to these efforts in a small way during the holiday season. #Community #GMAlife #KmartWishingTree #VarietyWA #RUAHCommunityServices

Inspiring the next generation of geologists and engineers through hands-on learning! Sheila Trischman, Ore Control Geologist, and Philip Mulholland, Mine Engineer/Geologist from our Montana operations, recently visited a local high school to work with freshman Earth Science students. Together, they explored rock identification in the classroom and took learning beyond the textbooks with a guided tour of our Montana mine site. From classroom insights to a firsthand look at the pit, this collaboration brought the fascinating world of geology to life. A big thank you to the students and teachers for their enthusiasm—it’s always a pleasure to share our passion for Earth sciences. #gmagarnet #gmaamercias #community #gmalife

Parndabarni Uthurdu - Resting on Country We’re proud to see GMA Garnet™ playing a role in the stunning 'Yamaji Yanajingmanha on Barna/Uthurdu - Yamaji Coming Closer Together' exhibition at the Museum of Geraldton, Western Australia, a collaboration between the Yamaji Art and Ku' arlu Mangga Aboriginal Art Centres. The artwork, Parndabarni Uthurdu/Resting on Country created by Ku'arlu Mangga artists Mauretta Drage and Colleen Drage, features a group of nine large Message Sticks resting in a bed of GMA Garnet™, sourced from GMA’s Port Gregory site, symbolising the connection between the land, its stories, and the Nhanda people's enduring heritage. Crafted from White and Red River Gum and Jam Wood, and enhanced by garnet’s unique qualities, these sculptural pieces revive the ancient practice of message sticks—sharing stories of cultural sites, bush tucker, freshwater springs, and the rich life across Nhanda Country. “The garnet has been the perfect ground to rest our message stick carvings on and it speaks about the Country near Northampton where our Aboriginal art centre is based,” said Marina Baker, Gallery Manager at Ku’arlu Mangga (Good Nest) Gallery. We’re honoured to support this important work and to see garnet used not only as a resource but as a medium for storytelling, connections to the country, and collaboration. #gmagarnet #YamajiArt #RegionalArtsWA #garnet Photo: Parndabarni Uthurdu/Resting on Country.
