St Barbara wins Digger of the Year

St Barbara Ltd was last night named ‘Digger of the Year’ at the 26th Diggers & Dealers mining forum in Kalgoorlie, Western Australia. The prestigious award recognises the significant turnaround achieved by the St Barbara team over the past three years.
The award citation presented by Nick Giorgetta, Chairman of the Diggers & Dealers forum, highlighted the achievement by St Barbara to “convert a company that was previously considered to have an uncertain future into a company that consistently meets or exceeds expectations. This turnaround is a credit to the entire St Barbara team because it was a genuine team effort that we should all be proud of. The challenge for us now is to use the same energy and commitment that drove the turnaround to drive the next chapter in St Barbara’s growth.”
The award recognises the huge effort by all of St Barbara's employees during an at times difficult period and the turnaround has positioned St Barbara with world-class operations, a first-rate team culture, no debt and an exciting future.
St Barbara Managing Director and CEO, Bob Vassie, accepted the award on behalf of the Company at last night’s Diggers & Dealer's gala dinner.
