Mr Simpson has more than 30 years mining industry experience, specialising in underground metalliferous mining. His previous roles include Chief Operating Officer & Executive Vice President for Peak Gold Ltd; General Manager & Director at Goldcorp Asia Pacific, Peak Gold Mines; and General Manager Mining Lead Zinc at MIM Holdings, Mt Isa.

Mr Simpson holds a Bachelor of Engineering Mining (Hons) from University of NSW and a Diploma of Business (Frontline Management) and is a member of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy.
The appointment of Mr Simpson to the Board reflects the Company’s significant exploration success in the Cobar Basin, and the commencement of the transformation from an exploration to a mining development company.
Peel Mining Managing Director Mr Rob Tyson commented:
“I am delighted that someone of Jim’s calibre has chosen to join the Board of Peel. Jim brings with him a wealth of mining and corporate experience and has an intimate understanding of the Cobar region. I look forward to working with Jim as we progress our high-grade deposits towards development.”

“It is an exciting time to be joining the Peel team as they progress from advanced exploration towards mine development.
