Valuable Partnerships

During the year, we were able to host a number of important visitors to our region and to site.

CMOC CEO and President, Mr Sun travelled to Australia in August to meet Managing Director, Jianjun Tian and Manager, People, Safety and Environment, Stacey Kelly as well as members of the Sumitomo Metal Mining Ocenia and SC Mineral Resources Joint Venture. During the trip, we took the opportunity to show Mr Sun through the underground block cave mine E26L1N crushing station, and surface operations -processing plant and tailings dams. To close out a very significant and memorable trip, the Parkes Shire Council Mayor, Ken Keith OAM and council members of Parkes and Forbes shire hosted a formal public event to welcome Mr Sun and express the local government’s appreciation for his visit and the importance of Northparkes’ operation to our local communities.
