Details on William's retention
With the award of important significant construction contracts like the Open Cut Mining contract, Structural, Mechanical and Piping (SMP), and Electrical and Instrumentation (E&I) contracts scheduled over the upcoming months, the business continues to advance the development of the Kathleen Valley Project. In preparation for the underground mining bids and the start of mining activity in 2023, detailed mine design, optimisation, and evaluation work is currently ongoing.
Williams has volunteered to stay on as a Non-Executive Director of the company to support the company through this crucial stage of its development because of his significant operational knowledge.
