Episode 49 : Tony McPaul, Manager of Special Projects, Regis Resources - a podcast by RDA Central West

With over 40 years’ experience in mining operations and mineral processing, Tony has worked in and led both open cut and underground operations around Australia.

Tony commenced his career as a motor mechanic, before progressing to maintenance and then onto operations management at various companies, including CRA, Denehurst, Mount Isa Mines, and Newcrest. More recently, Tony joined Regis Resources as Manager of Special Projects working on the proposed McPhillamys Gold Project at Kings Plains, near Blayney.

If approved, the McPhillamys project would consist of an open cut gold mining operation that has a current project life of approximately fifteen years, including construction, operation and rehabilitation. It is anticipated that the project would provide a major economic boost to the Central West, employing up to 1,289 direct and indirect jobs during construction, and 788 direct and indirect jobs during operation. The project is currently under assessment by the NSW Department of Planning, Industry and Environment.
