Progress is running ahead of schedule, and it is expected that the first shipment of ore will be loaded for export later this year.
Barry Fitzgerald was appointed Chief Executive Officer in June 2012 and is the man at the helm of this world-class development. He is the one ultimately responsible for bringing the project online.
