Hillgrove Resources (ASX:HGO) has paid tribute to its very first managing director, David Archer, following his recent passing.
In extending its condolences to family, friends and extended community, the company says Archer, who was at the helm from 2003 to 2010, played an integral role through initial exploration drilling and Feasibility Study stages.
He led the company to the commencement of open-pit mine operations.
The company says Archer served as a great advocate for Hillgrove, providing “immeasurable guidance and contributing a wealth of knowledge.”
“We are deeply saddened by this loss; we hope his family and friends find peace and comfort during this difficult time and our thoughts remain with them,” Chairman Derek Carter says.
Hillgrove Resources is an Australian mining company focused on its Kanmantoo Copper Mine in South Australia, as well as other regional exploration tenements.
