TMEC - Board of Directors quarterly meeting held in the Underground Crib Room
Mt Lyell has been a member of the Tasmanian Minerals and Energy Council (TMEC) since the Council was formed in the mid 1990's with General Managers traditionally serving as Directors on the Board. GM Clint Mayes has been on the Board since moving to care and maintenance in 2014.
TMEC is the peak body for mining, minerals processing, energy and manufacturing in Tasmania.
The Board of TMEC holds its quarterly meeting of Directors at various member sites around the state providing an opportunity for members to better understand the business challenges, the regulatory environment and the communities which the member both relies on and supports.

CMT invited Board of TMEC to hold their first meeting of 2026 in our underground crib room so they could best experience the underground working environment they had heard so much about over the years. The members were delighted with this opportunity and were very enthusiastic about meeting in such a unique and culturally significant location for the mining industry of the country.
While some challenges were anticipated in providing even a minimal level of comfort and reliable IT access for the meeting, the event went well for all who attended.
Considering there would be none of the usual corporate comforts, as could be provided by other venues, the site team were well prepared, utilising all resources available, allowing the meeting to proceed without issue. A fabulous Thai lunch was catered for by our local Mimso Kitchen and arrived on site hot and ready to serve - quite an unexpected treat for our visitors.
Of course, the company paparazzi were also on hand to record the event, and the selection of snaps below show a relaxed Board in an environment they were, surprisingly, quite comfortable with.
Thankyou to the Board of TMEC, Mimso Kitchen and to the site support team, for making this first meeting of 2026 a very memorable occasion for everyone.
