Gregory Durack
Managing Director
Upon my return to Perth after four years in Greece, I took up the role as Managing Director which being a small company a lot of bases had to be covered. The main Project at the time was the Deflector Gold Copper Project, which had a gold copper resource with difficult metallurgy.
A number of small capital raisings had to be completed to fund the resource drilling program, metallurgical test work and feasibility studies.
The gold copper resource was doubled in size and metallurgical issues were resolved in order to develop the project, the feasibility study was subsequently completed, however the economics were marginal due to deflated metal prices at the time and the project put on hold.
