Mr Matthew Martin – Managing Director Matthew is an accomplished executive leader with almost 20 years in operational and executive management

  • roles. He brings extensive international experience having held senior positions with Fugro, Dexia Bank of

Luxemburg, First Group and BDO. He has been CEO of ASX listed mining company, Citigold. Matthew pivoted the company from a period of stagnation by, reducing costs and leading the Company to achieve its maiden profit. Matthew is passionate about creating value for customers, employees and shareholders, regarded by his peers as a thought leader and innovator. He is a hands on problem solver, adept at risk management and mitigation, with a track record of successfully negotiating positive outcomes for stakeholders. Dr Simon Richards – Director of Exploration Simon has a well deserved reputation for being a leader in the area of technology and innovation in the geological

  • space. Simon has been the principal investigator on geological projects for companies including DeBeers, Barrick

Gold and Nautilus Minerals. Simon combines classical geological and geophysical techniques with innovative technologies to generate accurate and precise 3D models of the Earth structure. He uses these techniques to unravel the large-scale controls on mineral deposit formation. Recent experience in exploration and targeting has led Dr Richards to develop techniques that speed up the discovery process while significantly cutting the cost and risk involved with discovering new deposits. Mr Xavier Hill – Head of Mining Xavier brings almost 15 years’ of sound practical experience in the mining industry having managed a number of mines around the world in both open cut and underground operations. Xavier who holds a Bachelor of Engineering (Mining) and also an MBA has worked in a broad range of roles and functions from scoping studies all the way through to Underground Manager for large multinational mining companies including Newmont, Glencore and BHP.

*The Global Shift to Undercover Exploration - Richard Schodde, Managing Director, MinEx Consulting, Adjunct Professor, University of Western Australia

Discoveries under cover tend to be 2x-4x larger* To improve its performance, industry needs to develop better tools for exploring beyond 200 metres of cover*

Explorin ing undercover fo for th the next major deposit dis iscovery

Develop NEW exploration techniques, not just adapt old ones Generate targets beyond lithocaps and alteration halos – look under “young” cover relative to deposit age Its not about “brave drilling” - intelligent targeting must be supported
