Late last year, Gold Industry Group announced the appointment of three new members to its board of directors as it looks to build on its range of impactful programs and partnerships in 2024 – Bellevue Gold Darren Stralow, Managing Director and CEO, Julie Jones, General Counsel and Co-Secretary of Gold Road Resources, and Westgold Resources Managing Director and CEO Wayne Bramwell.
The Group is also proud to announce that Mr. Bramwell has assumed the role of Vice President of the Gold Industry Group.
These strategic appointments are expected to strengthen the Group's initiatives in education, sustainability and community engagement, strengthening its leadership position and creating new growth opportunities in an evolving gold sector.
A sentiment echoed by Gold Industry Group president Kelly Carter, who told members at the Group's annual Sundowner earlier this month that the gold industry was in a period of “growth and unprecedented opportunities.”
“With economic conditions driving record gold prices and production volumes, Australia’s gold sector has reclaimed its place in the national spotlight,” Ms Carter said.
“It is up to us to harness this momentum wisely and lay the foundations for lasting success. Through our continued collaboration, we can create lasting benefits not only for our industry, but also for the environment, the economy and the communities that host us.
Mr Stralow, who has been involved in the mining industry all his life, said the Gold Industry Group was a great example of collaboration and cooperation of some large companies, and that being part of the Group's management at future was going to be “a great experience”.
“The gold industry must show all stakeholders, from the public to government officials, that gold is a significant contributor of wealth, jobs and benefits to everyone involved, and the Gold Industry Group is a ideal channel for this,” he said.
