Biography
Hugh has a significant base of global resources experience with Rio Tinto and Xstrata that included roles in the USA, Canada, Chile, Brazil, and Australia. Mr. Callaghan then founded a coal company, Riversdale Mining Limited, which acquired coal projects in South Africa, which delivered very substantial returns on capital after a transformation process that raised production by 80%, changed the marketing strategy, and expanded reserves. Since then, Hugh has invested in, and developed copper projects in Chile, and potash projects in West Africa and the USA, and consulted to coal companies in the UK, USA, Australia, Zimbabwe and Columbia.
