ASX:MTE) CEO Mike O'Brien Speaks with Brian Carlton at Sydney Symposium Resources Roadshows
MetroCoal Limited is an Australian coal company focusing on coal projects in the Surat Basin and surrounding locations in south-east Queensland.
The Company holds an extensive portfolio of tenements in the Surat Basin. Our initial exploration and analysis of historical exploration conducted over the tenements indicates the existence of prospective thermal coal seams located at depths ideally suited to:
- Conventional opencast and underground mining techniques; and
- Underground Coal Gasification (UCG).
MetroCoal is planning an extensive exploration and evaluation program to advance this dual strategy.
About Mike O'Brien (CEO)
Thirty five years working in the mining and minerals industry and over twenty-five years extensive management experience with multinational companies Shell Coal and Anglo Coal (subsidiary of Anglo American) has positioned Mike O'Brien as a leader in his field. His experience includes operational roles as General Manager of a large underground longwall mine and as General Manager of a very large opencast mine that included a coal seam gas (CSG) operation. He has also held senior corporate positions including General Manager of Shell Coal's technical group that included responsibility for the mining, geological and engineering development. This has given him a wealth of knowledge in the coal industry and his expertise in strategic planning is underpinned by very strong skills in operations management and technical evaluation.
