  • Successful stakeholder relations management throughout the review of the Environmental Impact Statement for the Dubbo Project
  • Submissions that won Alkane two NSW Mining Health, Safety, Environment & Community Awards (2015), and two NSW Minerals Council Awards – for Mining Operation of the Year (2018) and Explorer of the Year (2021 & 2023).

Alkane has been working with gemaker for more than a decade, and gemaker continues to play an important role across our external communications.

Comprising a team of experts with a diverse range of skills, gemaker keeps our regular communications ticking over with impressive efficiency, productivity and cost-effectiveness.

On top of that, I can hand over a problem, and they deliver a professional and comprehensive solution, often within very short timeframes. gemaker is responsive, resourceful and incredibly good at making things happen.

There are a lot of players who can offer investor and media relations services, however the diversity of skills that the gemaker team offers has allowed them to deliver work for Alkane not only to an exceptionally high standard but also with broad influence.

We engaged Natalie and her team to implement strategies to improve the way we communicate with our external stakeholders. Not only have we seen a significant improvement in the way we are communicating with them, we also believe the quality of this communication has improved dramatically, resulting in much stronger stakeholder engagement.

Natalie and her team have a strong diversity of skills and therefore a broad sphere of influence. By leveraging off this, gemaker have used their networks to open communication between Alkane and a broad range of stakeholders that might otherwise have been unavailable to us.
