A message from the
Minister for Mines and Energy,
Northern Territory
As the Northern Territory’s Minister for Mines and
Energy, I’m looking forward to meeting the men and
women who have built mining into the Top End’s most
successful industry.
I shall be speaking on the first day of this year’s
Mining the Territory Conference about what the NT
Government is doing to support the industry.
More importantly, I’ll also be listening to what exhibitors
and attendees have to say about the future of the
industry in the NT and how my team can help mining
thrive.
Mining is at the heart of our plan to create jobs and
generate wealth for Territorians and building a good
working relationship with the industry is essential.
I’m sure that working together will deliver a bright future
for both mining and the Territory.
I look forward to seeing you at the conference in August.
The Hon David Tollner MLA,
Minister for Mines and Energy,
Northern Territory Government

and forms part of the Company’s Northern Territory Operations. The
deposit contains around 550,000 ounces of Measured and Indicate Mineral
Resources and 84,000 ounces Inferred Mineral Resources.

strictly limited number of people to tour the underground development,
