Emerging Company and Media Awards

Emerging Company Award: ABM Resources

A number of years ago, Diggers and Dealers introduced the Duelling Drill Rigs sessions to allow emerging companies a dedicated position in the conference program to present their strategies and project credentials in an environment that allowed them to be assessed against their peer group.

The Emerging Company Award is based on the presentations made at Diggers and Dealers during the Duelling Drill Rigs sessions.

ABM Resources managing director Darren Holden accepted the award on behalf of the company.

Media Award – Matt Chambers of The Australian newspaper

A number of years ago Diggers and Dealers introduced an award to recognise excellence in journalism focused on the resources sector.

Initially the award was voted on by industry peers. This year voting was expanded to include the resources industry.

This year’s winner Matt Chambers was singled out for his active interest in the industry and his dedication to ensure issues associated with resources are independently and thoughtfully portrayed.

Matt is highly respected by both his peers and the general industry.
