One thought on “Sir Charles appointed non-executive director of Geopacific board

  • While the Gold Miner Geopacific was reported to have delivered low cost sub-standard resettlement homes for the poor landowners of Beautiful Woodlark Island, it is en-lighting to see Sir Charles taking one of this high post. Hoping for the best for the People of Woodlark and Milne Bay in partnering and sharing benefits from the project!!!
