Event Summary

Southern Cross Gold announced the appointment of Joseph Seppelt as its Head of Technology & Processing. This strategic hire is aimed at advancing the processing and smelting strategy for the company's Sunday Creek Gold-Antimony Project. Joseph Seppelt brings nearly two decades of experience in mineral processing, including leadership roles at BHP's Carrapateena and Olympic Dam operations, and Newcrest Mining's Cadia Valley Operations. His expertise is considered vital for the dual-product processing flowsheet of gold and antimony at the Sunday Creek project, especially given the increased significance of antimony due to China's export restrictions and Southern Cross Gold's potential role as a Western antimony supplier.
