  • 'Deep experience both in years and number of practitioners with practical knowledge in the natural resources field.'
  • 'I can't think of another practitioner with Alex Jones' level of experience across all elements important to any new or existing natural resources project. Alex is practical, displays commercial nous and is proactive in his advice. It is not unusual to have him call me to discuss a project aspect we may not have considered or not considered important.'
