Working With Pala

"Inherently, Pala ensures that the value creation interest of all shareholder is maintained front and center in the focus of all Company activities. Pala’s involvement has helped the Company greatly improve internal governance and risk management processes. The Pala team is easy to work with, their experience within the capital markets and with other resource investments has offered constructive solutions to operating within the rapidly changing business circumstances." - Edward Dowling, President, Chief Executive Officer and Executive Director, Alacer Gold Corp

"Avoca has significantly benefited from the actions of its major shareholder, Pala Investments Holdings Ltd (Pala). Pala was Avoca’s major supporter during its capital raising program for the development of the Higginsville Gold Project in Western Australia, and through Pala Investments AG, continues to provide sound strategic advice on Avoca’s growth plans. I look forward to continuing the strong relationship we have developed with Pala in building Avoca into Australia’s pre-eminent mid-tier gold producer." - Rohan Williams, former Managing Director, Avoca Resources Limited

"Pala is much more than an investor in our company; they act as an advisor with deep mining expertise and connections. They provide us with continuous insights, trends and research about the global mining market, introduce us to potential customers and provide guidance on addressing customer challenges. Pala also promotes collaboration across their portfolio companies which lead to the sharing of ideas to solve customer problems. The strong support we receive from the Pala team adds value to our business." – Rick Moignard, President and CEO, Gemcom Software International Inc.
