Greatland Resources and West African Resources receive major honours at the Kalgoorlie mining conference’s Diggers & Dealers awards ceremony. West African Resources is named “Digger of the Year,” according to one outlet’s coverage of the event. Greatland Resources wins the “Dealer of the Year” award, which other reporting ties to the company’s acquisition activity.
The sources indicate that Greatland’s recognition is linked to a significant purchase involving the historic Telfer mine, described as a “transformational” acquisition. Another outlet summarizes the outcome more broadly, stating that Greatland Resources takes out the best-deal category at the awards, while West African Resources is crowned digger of the year. A third company, Minerals 260, is also mentioned in connection with winning major gongs at the same ceremony.
Overall, the reports agree that the awards recognise performance across both mining operations and industry deal-making, with Greatland and West African Resources topping their respective categories at the event.
