Where is Groote Eylandt?

Welcome to GEMCO

The Groote Eylandt Mining Company Pty Ltd (GEMCO), a company jointly owned by BHP Billiton (60%) and the Anglo American Corporation (40%) is one of the world’s leading suppliers of manganese ore.

Located on Australia’s northern coastline, tropical Groote Eylandt provides a truly unique environment for GEMCO and its employees to live and operate.

GEMCO mines high-grade manganese ore from extensive reserves and processes products to exacting quality standards. Strategically close to world markets, our products leave our port bound for a variety of domestic and international destinations.

The high quality of our products, our customer focus, our team of people, and our commitment to Zero Harm has made us part of one of the largest manganese operations in the world.

Groote Eylandt is culturally and musically diverse, a result of the strong social and other ties to nearby mainland and more distant groups. The people of Groote Eylandt refer to themselves as Wanindiljaugwa, their language is Anindiljaugwa, and there are something like 12 local descent groups who identify with or are affiliated with Groote Eylandt and the adjacent Bickerton Island.
