Today Allan Trench and I published an article on “The purpose of exploration and mining company boards” in his Strictly Boardroom column on MiningNewsPremium.net. The article was based on an exercise run in one of our courses on ‘Resource Sector Management’ sourcing the opinions of Curtin University mineral economics masters and MBA students on what the key roles of mining industry board members are. To our surprise strategy ranked fairly low, whilst governance, specific technical skill sets, management mentorship and a willingness to source funding (either from your own pocket or other sources) were seen as the key roles.
