RE: Notes from Vox interview re. revised contract for 90% of Hamersley Iron Project & Board Changes - 2424 Aug 2022 17:18
* Some boardroom changes such as Roderick McIllree joining the company?
- Incredibly fortunate Rod has stepped up, knocked on the door and really excited by the iron ore and if not more excited and a more longer-term project, the Munni Munni project
- Rod feels that with the global change in sourcing of rare commodities, growth in EV etc. he has come to us and I think is a fantastic addition to the team
- Just to be clear, I’ve stepped off the board but the only change there is that I’m not a board member but still doing exactly the same as I was a week or month ago, just I don’t get the authority to sign off on any board related queries
- Still very much working with the board but got the ability again now to really get back into the technical side of things with Bradley and Lloyd and everyone in Perth as we develop and move up to the next level
- Once required process for Rod to be appointed is finished, believe he’ll be a great addition to the team and help Alien to really go to the next level in terms of size, capacity and growth.
* So, you carry on doing what you have the passion for without the corporate headache?
- That’s right but am sure I’ll be sitting alongside Rod when we’re talking to people because I’ve been with these projects from the start really, my blood, sweat and tears are in there and I know them pretty much backwards
- Definitely be wingman to Rod in terms of a technical side although Rod is very technical as started his career as a geologist but think his focus will be to add that extra critical element to the board and the company so we can start reaching out and banging the drum a lot more in the right circles
- And as I said, in the background a bit of a luxury, been looking at some maps and old reports that I haven’t had the chance to in months and feels great
- We’re looking to going back down to Perth in end of September for 2-3 weeks and already told the guys I want to do a bit of field time, get out and kick a few rocks as to me that’s what we’re about and every opportunity should be taken to go and do that.
