Presents a company profile with
Newcrest CEO Tony Palmer
Since Tony Palmer’s joining in December 2001, Newcrest has pulled off a most spectacular hairpin. With a massive reserve goldstrike at Telfer, a new mine opening at Ridgeway and solid exploration news, Newcrest is hitting the highlights. So far it has evaded the South African and North American predators but now, with 50 million gleaming ounces under its belt, it must deliver a complete project development and operational success to realise the dream – and its resources.
There are some questions Can Newcrest finish building Ridgeway with one hand and raise the capital and remake the Telfer operation with the other? Telfer is remote and doesn’t enjoy the deep infrastructural bonuses of working near well-serviced Orange, NSW. Some wonder if the Telfer grade upgrade is real? Can there be any surprises in the sub-level caving at Ridgeway? To move north from its 600,000 Oz a year base, Newcrest will also depend heavily on the 200,000 Oz it takes from the 23g/t Gosowong mine in politically-wobbly Indonesia. Analysts will also want to see boardroom stability following the quick CEO-succession from John Quinn, to Ian Johnson (acting), to Gordon Galt, to Bryan Davis (acting), to Russell Barwick in just a few years. But Melbourne-based Newcrest has brought large scale gold mining closer than ever to Sydney – and to its strong investment interest.
Born in Broken Hill, Tony Palmer won his main stripes bringing Olympic Dam into production on time and under budget in 1986. With the gold price peaking continuously and the good news running his way, he now has the chance to weave a big future for this enduring independent Australian. Find out how!
