Dr Mike Jones is the founding Managing Director of Impact Minerals Limited, which was listed on the Australian Stock Exchange in November 2006. Reporting to the Board of Directors, he is responsible for the company's performance as it moves towards production at its Lake Hope High Purity Alumina Project and also for implementing strategies to explore and maximise the value of the Company’s other extensive tenement holdings. Since listing, Mike has helped raise over $60 million to help fund the exploration of Impact’s projects and managed the company through significant adverse events. Recently he identified and negotiated the staged acquisition of an 80% interest in a globally unique High Purity Alumina (HPA) deposit in the Tier One jurisdiction of Western Australia. The deposit is world-class in several aspects, and the deal has put Impact firmly on the road to production over the next few years. This project is Impact’s focus going forward.
