• Resumen

  • My arrival at Sierra Rutile coincides with an exciting period of the company's journey. My own background spans mining operations, new business and investment banking across many commodity groups and geographies. For this reason I have a very global view on how a successful extractive business should operate and conduct itself. The existing Sierra Rutile team at the board and management level can teach me a lot about the idiosyncrasies of mineral sands markets and the assets themselves. I have a high level of confidence that we can position the company for where it needs to be five, 10 and 20 years from now. We all strongly believe in the asset base and its relevance to its current and future customer base.

    Absolutely, Sierra Rutile emerged from the Ebola outbreak with no cases to report and continues to maintain stringent health monitoring standards. Sierra Rutile achieved record annual production in 2015 and in 2016 is on track to commission the Gangama dry mine on time and on budget. Additionally, Sierra Rutile's focus on corporate social responsibility is impressive. They not only support the community, but proactively play a major role in helping the overall economy recover.
