Australia and was tasked with leading the geology team from exploration through to
production. Mr Broomham has also held several other leadership roles at Pilgangoora,
including Mining Manager, lead of the Direct Shipping Ore development project and Production
Superintendent. Earlier in his career, he has also worked at Mineral Resources Limited,
Consolidated Minerals Manganese, Hancock Prospecting (Roy Hill) and Golder Associates,
