Cameron Vorias has more than 30 years’ operational experience in the mining industry including underground and open cut metallurgical coal mining and large scale haematite iron ore operations.

He has a solid track record in new mine development, resource management and risk management.

Vorias has also worked around the world including Australia, South Africa, Venezuela, China, Alaska, Indonesia and the US.

“We are pleased to welcome Cameron to the team at a time when Atrum is looking to mine its first anthracite,” Atrum Coal chairman James Chisholm said.

“He has built and operated a number of coal mines for major mining companies and we look forward to his contribution as Atrum transitions from explorer to producer this year.”
