Late last year, the Gold Industry Group announced the appointment of three new members to its Board of Directors as it looks to build upon its array of impactful programs and partnerships in 2024 – Bellevue Gold MD and CEO Darren Stralow, Gold Road Resources General Counsel and Joint Company Secretary Julie Jones, and Westgold Resources MD and CEO Wayne Bramwell.
The Group is also proud to announce Mr Bramwell has stepped into the Gold Industry Group Vice Chair role.
These strategic appointments are expected to enhance the Group’s initiatives in education, sustainability, and community engagement, strengthening its leadership position and driving new growth opportunities in an evolving gold sector.
A sentiment echoed by Gold Industry Group Chair Kelly Carter, who told members at the Group’s Annual Sundowner earlier this month that the gold industry found itself in a period of “unprecedented growth and opportunity.”
“With economic conditions driving record gold prices and production volumes, the Australian gold sector has reclaimed its place in the national spotlight,” Ms. Carter said.
“It is up to us to harness this momentum wisely and to lay the foundations for sustained success. Through our continued collaboration, we can create lasting benefits not only for our industry, but for the environment, the economy, and the communities that host us.”
Mr Stralow, who has been involved in the mining industry his entire life, said the Gold Industry Group was a terrific example of collaboration and cooperation of some great companies, and to be a part of the Group’s leadership moving forward was going to be “a great experience”.
“The gold industry needs to show all stakeholders, from the public to government officials, that gold is a great contributor of wealth, jobs, and benefits for all involved, and the Gold Industry Group is an ideal conduit for that,” he said.
