growth function for the Company.
Key activities included:
•
focused screening of mergers and acquisitions (M&A)
•
opportunities aligned with the company’s investment
hurdles
•
progression of the Stockman Project through project
permitting and optimisation studies
•
proactive management of the exploration portfolio with a
focus on creating a step-change in exploration opportunities
