Metro Mining Ltd’s (ASX:MMI) managing director Simon Finnis has been awarded Asia Pacific Mining Executive of the Year at the internationally recognised Mines and Money Forum in Hong Kong.
Over 1000 global decision makers, mining executives, investors, commodity buyers and policy makers from 40 countries attended the forum (2-4 April 2019) where 80 miners showcased their projects.
The Industry leaders also discussed political and macroeconomic impacts on the price of commodities, supply and demand dynamics and China’s role as a key consumer.
In August last year Metro Mining received the Emerging Miner Award at Diggers and Dealers, Australia's largest mining forum, held in Kalgoorlie, Western Australia.
Production guidance raised
Finnis said while he was personally honoured to receive the award it was recognition for the efforts of the entire Metro Mining team.
He added "We worked under some difficult conditions, including enduring the effects of two tropical cyclones at the start and end of our annual mining program last year, to meet our 2 million tonne production guidance.
“This year we have increased our guidance to 3.5 million tonnes. The team is focused and eager to get on with the job and I thank them for their ongoing efforts.”
