Budding Pilbara iron ore play Brockman Resources has been able to secure the services of ex-Rio Tinto Australia Managing Director, Barry Cusack as it keeps a watch on the subsequent period in the development of its flagship possession.

The mining expert has been appointed to serve as non-executive Chairman, with founding Chairman, Ross Norgard, so as to assume the role of Deputy Chairman.

Norgard said Cusack joins Brockman at a serious time in the firm’s development as it makes a move into the growth and financing stage of Marillana.

He said that his know how in the Australian iron ore sector, which includes the funding, development and operation of chief projects, will become priceless to Brockman as the Company makes a move into the next stage of its corporate development.

Barry’s good understanding of his work, contribution and advice will be priceless in a lot of these key regions, which is inclusive of the key issues of infrastructure access in the Pilbara and the challenges that are posed by the of late announcement related to resource super-profits tax.

Brockman in the preceding month gave confirmation that Chinese steel giant, Sinosteel had not cooled on its April sales accord that may possibly be worth no less than $6 billion, with the enterprise remaining on target regardless of the projected resource super-profits tax.
