Hoots. 

I attended the South Australia Exploration and Mining Conference in Adelaide yesterday as several companies I invest in, including Ausmex, were presenting or represented there in some shape or form. In any case it was a great opportunity to see what’s currently happening with mining.

One thing that caught my eye were the two bios in the program list of speakers, of the Ausmex presenters Geoff Kidd and Nicole Galloway-Warland. I have attached the bios here for you to read Hoots after your associated referencing of Ausmex with the “white shoe brigade”. I believe that the remaining board members are just as highly qualified and cannot imagine those fortunate of us to be shareholders in safer, more competent hands. 

“Geoff Kidd has lengthy experience, working as Chief Operating Officer, Operations Manager, General Manager, Engineering Manager, Project Manager, Regional Manager, Managing Director and Director of mining companies or leading consultants to the mining industry. He has worked in all states of Australia, Irian Jaya, India, New Zealand, South Africa, Zimbabwe, South America, China, and the USA, with a lengthy background in successfully managing the risks associated with studying, designing,  building, and commissioning new mines together with the expansion & optimisation of new and existing mine developments. Geoff was the inaugural Chairman of Austmine, a Federal Government initiative to export Australian mining expertise and services. He has been a member of Australian trade delegations and he has chaired a number of mining industry professional bodies and associations.Geoff was a founding Director of Ausmex, but also has specific responsibility for the company’s exploration licences around Burra.
