A highly motivated professional engineer currently based in Melbourne, Australia with Newcrest mining. I have a knack for unconventional problem solving and a passion for technology. Throughout my 10-year career I have held a range of operational and project-based roles working across sites in Australia and Papua New Gunia. Recently I have been leading the charge in the application of coarse flotation technology in sulphides.

Rockson is currently a Plant Metallurgist – Flotation at Newcrest’s Cadia Valley Operations (CVO). Rockson earned a MEng (Chemical) from the University of Melbourne and spent 3 years as a Metallurgist at Gekko Systems where he developed a sound knowledge base on Gravity Gold circuits. Rockson then joined CVO in 2019 as a Plant Metallurgist - Final Product, responsible for the Gravity Circuit and the Concentrate Dewatering Plant. He led a multidisciplinary Gravity Recovery improvement program across 2 years that included multiple small and medium scale brownfield installations amongst other equipment/process optimisations. Rockson also has expertise in met accounting systems and managing concentrate handling/transport. Rockson has now transitioned into flotation and expanding his knowledge across different unit operations.

Ben Murphy is a mineral processor. The first part of his career was spent working at mine sites around the world in technical and managerial roles. He then pivoted to the equipment supply side of mining and has worked for OEMs both in both his native Australia and in the Americas. During this time he started to notice how people were reluctant to move away from ingrained operating paradigms. This instilled in him a strong belief that better decision making and more pragmatic approach to risk could really make a difference in the mining industry. He is the Key Industry Director for Gold at FLSmidth and also is the Global Key Account Manager for several large miners. In addition is a co-creator and instructor for the Executive Micro-Certificate in Economic Leadership for Mining offered by the Bradshaw Research Initiative for Minerals and Mining (BRIMM) at the University of British Columbia.

Jeff has a broad range of business experience spanning over 35 years in predominantly blue chip enterprises. With qualifications including B.Bus, CPA and GAICD, Jeff has held senior executive and director positions for the past 30 years. Jeff was employed by CSIRO for 14-years, working across research domains that included renewable energy, mining, and oil & gas. During this time, he utilised his business background to translate science into commerce. This included undertaking an intensive commercialisation training program called “ON”. The program tested the commercial merits of the CSIRO’s non-toxic gold recovery technology. Funding was subsequently secured to build a commercial scale demonstration pilot plant to showcase the technology in conjunction with a commercial partner. Jeff was part of the CSIRO team that designed, built and operated the plant at Menzies in Western Australia. Upon successful completion of the project, Jeff was recruited by the commercial partner to establish Clean Mining and acquire the technology from CSIRO. Jeff is based in Perth, is a co-founder of Clean Mining and Clean Earth Technologies and holds the position of Head of Mining Solutions.

Where others see problems, Malcolm sees opportunities. With more than 45 years of experience in the international mineral industry, Malcolm understands its challenges and where best to make improvements. The guiding philosophy that he applies to all aspects of mining, and life in general, can be summarized with one word: Elegance. “If it’s not elegant, it’s not GreenGold.” Malcolm specializes in the development and operation of gold and silver projects, has a strong process engineering background to complement his extensive experience in technology development, plant design and construction, as well as operations management.
