Joshua Pitt -
Joshua is my all time favourite Director. Beginning 20 years ago when my father successfully invested in Dalrymple of which Joshua was Director, Dalrymple went on to make a nickel mine and shareholders got maximum value. During the lean years of Dalrymple, Joshua made the decision to withdraw his own director fees to conserve cash and avoid dilution.More recently Joshua made another success story with Red Hill Minerals which patiently waited and negotiated for years until a breakthrough royalty deal was struck with Mineral Resources for the iron ore tenements RHI owned.
From the website which under rates Joshua - Joshua Pitt is a geologist with over 40 years experience in exploration and corporate management. He has had a successful career in providing seed capital and corporate services to new mining and exploration ventures, which include Golden Grove Mining NL, Aztec Mining Limited, Helix Resources NL, Forrestania Gold NL and Dalrymple Resources NL. He is currently Chairman of Hampton Hill Mining NL, Traka Resources Ltd and Red Hill Iron Limited.
