Jim McCluskey

General Manager - Geoscience, Resource Engineering & Studies | Olympic Dam

I've been fortunate over the last 25 years to have taken part in many different parts of the mining industry, from underground and open pit mining, brown and greenfields exploration, Prefeasibility and Feasibility phase capital projects, business development activity in mergers, acquisitions and divestments, as well as long term strategic planning, and short term delivery planning. I've done due diligence across diverse commodities (nickel, iron ore, copper, manganese, aluminium, potash and diamonds), and managed to get to every continent through work (barring Antarctica!).

I am motivated by being part of something larger than myself, and the energy that being part of, or leading, a strong team brings. My focus is on maximising value, through focus on key value drivers, and working at the right level for the opportunity at hand. I also believe that how we do things, is just as important as what we do and accomplish, and that our values and performance are intimately linked.
