Metro Mining has reportedly appointed MBA and honours degree graduate Fiona Murdoch to its board. Murdoch is delighted to be joining the board and looking forward to contributing skills to ensure that Metro maximises all available opportunities, said herself according to the report.

Giving her appreciation to the board, senior management, and the entire team who had been the constant pillars of the company from explorer to miner, she made a special mention that “construction of the Bauxite Hills Mine was conducted in just five months and production guidance was reached in the first year of mining operations.”

She further added, “The challenge is now to build upon that, reduce costs, and increase value for all shareholders.”

The newly appointed board member Fiona Murdoch is a graduate from Australian Institute of Company Directors and brings in 28 years of experience in the resources and infrastructure sectors in Australia and abroad. She also worked as a non-executive director at KGL Resources Ltd.

Metro Mining chairman Stephen Everett said, “Fiona’s appointment followed an extensive national search conducted by an independent executive search organisation.”

He also said, “Fiona certainly set a high benchmark during the appointment process, her board and executive experience bring considerable expertise to our company as we continue to focus on the Bauxite Hills Mine and all that is required to facilitate its expansion.”

He further added, “The directors look forward to working with Fiona whose skills will be of considerable benefit as we continue to work to maximise company and shareholders value.”
