An ASX-listed company "Avoca has significantly benefited from the actions of its major shareholder, Pala Investments Holdings Ltd (Pala).

I look forward to continuing the strong relationship we have developed with Pala in building Avoca into Australia’s pre-eminent mid-tier gold producer." - Rohan Williams, Managing Director, Avoca Resources Limited


An AIM-listed company "The benefit of having Pala on board is not limited to the fact that they have invested directly in our company and supported the stock on the market.

This combined with their macro perspective on the market brings a valuable and practical contribution to moving our company forward."" - Paul G. Mazak - Managing Director - Churchill Mining PLC
