All the aforementioned areas of expertise - mining start ups, mineral extraction engineering expert, raising finance, WA power industry, managing large teams of engineering personnel...
• Port Authority experience - not just important to East Arm but any other companies looking at utilising TIVAN & importing or exporting through a port - OR BUILDING ONE (Balla Balla)
• The Youtube video is John talking about the various stages in a lifecycle of a project. It was from 2012 but demonstrates an in depth knowledge of Concept Study, Scoping study, pre-feasibility, Feasibility and has anecdotes of what happens when this process is followed or not followed....
So knowing TNG/SMS want to cookie cut TIVAN plants (build a lot of them), John has the runs on the board to guide with knowledge & experience, any explorer wanting to develop their Titano-Magnetite resource. He is additionally well placed to advise on the development of an end market which currently does not exist but has unlimited potential, the development & deployment of VRFBs into an electrical grid with a high reliance on distributed generation (WA).
Finally, the network of mining industry contacts John brings to TNG will be second to none. If the major companies didn't know about TNG before, sure as Iron ore is having a bull run again, they will soon.
