"There are many synergies between Gareth’s previous senior roles in managing
complex mine, mineral processing, port, township and logistics operations during
his tenure at Rio Tinto and the Finniss Project which is 25km from the Darwin CBD
and port.
“Gareth’s previous Northern Territory experience and managing the effects of the
annual wet season will also be essential as we plan to be operating in this
environment for years to come.”
Commenting on his appointment, Mr Manderson said:
“I have been impressed by what the Core team have achieved to date and I am
delighted to be given the opportunity to lead Core at this vital time in the
Company’s growth.
“With construction of Stage 1 of the Finniss Lithium Project nearing completion and
the pending export of lithium, I look forward to leading Core and working with my
colleagues across the business to ensure that we maintain strong safety,
operational and financial performance.”
