It is with sadness we advise that Mitch Fagan will be leaving his position of NSW Drilling Manager today to pursue other career goals.

Since Mitch commenced with VLI Drilling as a cleanskin offsider back in October 2008, he has done an excellent job in developing and growing his skills into becoming one of our most valued senior team members.

He has been a part of our Senior Management team for the past 7 years, and in what have at times been a challenging environment, Mitch has always led from the front, being one of the most dedicated workers we have had the pleasure to work alongside.

Mitch has accepted a position closer to home, and we wish him and his family every success as he embarks on the next phase of his mining career.

Please join me in thanking Mitch for his contributions and wish him all the very best in the future.
