Jim Wall is well known to the Sydney Mining Club from his time as Chairman of CBH Resources and before that as MD of Savage Resources. Kimberley Metals was spun out of CBH in May 2008 with a portfolio of pre-development projects and the company listed in February 2010. Kimberley became Australia's newest copper producer when it shipped last week the first concentrates to China from the refurbished Minerals Hill mine near Condobolin in NSW. Current production is aiming at 5,000tpa of copper in concentrates with gold/silver credits. Kimberley also won approval recently to develop a gold/silver open cut operation at the Pearse project close to the Mineral Hills processing plant. Kimberley is also looking to announce an underground resource upgrade before the end of the year at Mineral Hill and then there are the silver, lead, zinc and iron ore projects in the Top End of Australia to hear more about.

About Sydney Mining Club
The first Sydney Mining Club forum was held in March 1997.
The initial impetus for the formation of the Sydney club was discontent in the mining community with many aspects of the professional institutes and most of all with their ability to bring people together. Our activism led to the first changes to the constitution of the largest Institute in more than a century.
