SPINNING OFF OF SUCCESS

– Mark Bennett , Managing Director & CEO of S2 Resources .

face to face human contact and common sense and respect that assists with that . We don ’ t need any sustainability programs ; we just want people who work with other people .”

As with any mining company , mineral exploration and the environmental impacts it brings go hand in hand . Bennett and S2 are of the viewpoint that care for the environment and mining are not necessarily opposing things .

“ If you avoid areas that shouldn ’ t be mined , then you ’ re not going to create a problem . In terms of where you do mine if you plan and execute it in a sensible manner the it is very sustainable in terms of environmental values ,” he says .

Looking to the future , Bennett and

S2 Resources have set themselves key goals . To become a company with a billion-dollar market capital with a good cash flow to sustain an ongoing exploration process .

Bennett does admit however , that some of those targets involve topping the success he and his team had as part of Sirius Resources .

“ We ’ ve got certain achievements we want to better . At Sirius we were the best performing company on the ASX . The record of the shortest time of discovery to production . Shortest time of getting a mining lease granted , getting a native title deal . We were pretty good in terms of shareholder return which was up to 10,000 percent for some people . Because it ’ s what we do we want to do it better this time ,” he says .
