About Mt Magnet & Galaxy Underground

This is an opportunity to join Galaxy Underground at a pivotal point in its evolution. Mt Magnet is one of Ramelius’ cornerstone operations, bringing together underground, open pit and satellite mines with a long‑term production outlook and significant opportunities for further growth.
