Yari appoints Courtney Taylor as Executive Director to advance South Rolleston Coal Project

The company is pleased to announce the appointment of Ms Courtney Taylor as Executive Director (and incoming Managing Director), a highly experienced coal geologist with a strong background in the sector. Her career includes roles at major global miners such as Anglo American, Vale, and BHP, where she has worked across the full resource value chain, including exploration, project delivery, regulatory compliance, and technology initiatives in coal assets.

The Queensland resources sector has been at the heart of my career, and I deeply value the essential role coal continues to play in global industrial supply chains.
