professional and someone I had worked with for over 10 years,
across three companies. Our thoughts, and those of our Board

and family at this difficult time. This is a huge loss for our
business and the wider mining industry, many of us will fondly
remember sharing time with Peter at work, conferences and on site
visits, where his passion for geology and the industry was clear

in his memory."
