The Proposed Transaction represents the outcome of extensive commercial negotiations conducted by the Company’s independent PIOP Infrastructure Committee with BBIG to provide an infrastructure solution, facilitate the development of the PIOP and provide a pathway to market. Vote in favour of the Proposed Transaction The Independent Flinders Directors (Neil Warburton, The Hon. Cheryl Edwardes AM and James Gurry) unanimously recommend that Flinders shareholders vote in favour of the Proposed Transaction in the absence of a superior proposal. The Independent Flinders Directors appointed Grant Samuel as independent expert to consider and provide an opinion on the Proposed Transaction.

  • 100 Global Inspirational Women in Mining in 2018 for Another Year
    2018 #WIMADVOCATE # WIMINSPIRE #WIMADVOCATE # WIMINSPIRE www.womeninmining.org.uk CONTENTS BMO Foreword 1 About Women in Mining 2 Women in Mining Foreword 3 Biographies 5 2013 Edition 116 2015 Edition 117 Women in Mining Board and Committees 119 Disclaimer 124 BMO FOREWORD Jeff Couch, Lisa Schlegel, Head of Investment and Vice President, Investment Corporate Banking, Europe and Corporate Banking BMO is honoured to introduce the Top 100 Global Inspirational Women in Mining in 2018 for another year. We are very pleased to see the continuation of this publication showcasing a great variety of inspiring women with interesting careers in the Metals & Mining sector. As the marketplace becomes increasingly challenging, diversity is key to the success of any business. While this publication represents a fantastic opportunity to appreciate the success stories of numerous female role models currently in the sector, we must also remember the sector continues to face diversity shortcomings. A need for more gender balanced representation at the board and senior management level provides just one example where the sector needs to lead from the front. Given that the Global Metals & Mining sector is core to BMO, we are pleased to champion diversity further – on a sector-specific level. BMO continues to be passionate about diversity, which is a priority reinforced by our senior leadership team – including our recently appointed BMO Capital Markets CEO Dan Barclay. For the 4th consecutive year, BMO is sponsoring a scholarship at Imperial College London specifically to encourage the next generation of women to pursue Mining and Energy finance. We were excited by our recent hire of one of our scholarship holders into the London office of our Global Metals & Mining team.

My two grandfathers, they were pujiman (traditional, desert dwelling) in Kaalpa, where they walked around hunting bush tuckers. They were there hunting, getting meat. I went there for the first time last year [2018] on a Martumili trip to Wantlili Claypan. The KJ (Kanyirninpa Jukurrpa) rangers were going to visit Kaalpa and asked “we going Kaalpa, you wanna come?” When I went there, I was pukurlpa (happy). It made you open up your spirit feels like home.” Corban Clause Williams is a young artist working with Martumili Artists (Newman, WA). Born and raised in Newman, Corban is inspired by time spent on Country- collecting bush tucker, hunting and storytelling around the waru (fire). Corban has a deep respect for his Martu family and Elders and has spent many years painting alongside senior artists in his community. In his most recent art-making, Corban showcases a practice informed by tradition, yet imbued with his own unique contemporary vision of Country. The Shire of East Pilbara acknowledges the traditional custodians throughout our region and their continuing connection to the land, waters and community.
