About this event
Join us for an engaging presentation by Thomas Hancock MAusIMM, Senior Mining Geologist and current Technical Manager at Hillgrove Mines Pty Ltd. Thomas is responsible for managing and maintaining the integrity of geological data across the company’s extensive tenement portfolio.
Over the past three and a half years, Thomas has played a key role in advancing Hillgrove’s discovery and development pipeline. His work has been instrumental in bringing the high-grade, narrow vein orogenic gold, antimony, and tungsten mineral field back into production—while also expanding resource areas and extending the mine’s operational life.

Scott Duncombe
I have worked in Victoria, Queensland, NT, South Australia and Western Australia, including numerous and varied geological settings, comprising different commodities; primarily Gold, Copper, Antimony and Iron Ore. My work has also taken me overseas to Saudi Arabia and Mongolia, where I advanced greenfields and brownfields deposits through to production.
Moving forward I aim to increase the mineral resources at the Hillgrove Mine and to develop and advance exploration targets with the EL portfolio.
