He most recently was Vice President and Country Manager Australia for Copper Mountain Mining Pty Ltd where he managed all aspects of exploration and pre-development of its Mt Isa Inlier Copper-Gold projects in Queensland that included the Eva Copper Project.

After a one-month handover period, Roland will be managing the day-to-day aspects of the MDI business driving the exploration in the Barkly tablelands.
Roland commented “The Barkly Tablelands offers an exciting opportunity for new discovery in elephant country with the potential for IOCG sediment hosted base metal and phosphate deposits.
With my extensive experience in the Mt Isa Inlier that dates back to pre-development exploration at the Ernest Henry Mine and targeting other prospective outcropping and covered IOCG provinces using geophysics, I bring a fresh technical focus required to unlock the potential of what is a relatively underexplored district.”
Brad Marwood advised, “Middle Island Resources have been seeking a highly skilled, successful manager to run the Barkly Tablelands exploration and drive the business. Roland ticks all the boxes and comes to us fresh after his success with the Eva Copper Project. We are very pleased to have secured the services of Roland on a full time basis and excited by the prospectivity of the MDI future at Barkly.”
