Leanne founded AMETS in 2008 with a clear vision: to provide specialised services to Australia’s mining and exploration industry. Recognising a growing need for expert tenement and exploration management, she established the company in Darwin to help clients navigate the increasing complexity of regulatory frameworks and environmental obligations.
Under Leanne’s leadership, AMETS was an early adopter of the virtual company model – well ahead of its time. This flexible structure enabled the business to attract top talent from across the country, foster a collaborative culture, and support work-life balance – all while delivering outstanding results to clients.
Today, AMETS Tenements and Geoservices is a trusted industry partner, known for streamlining exploration and mining compliance, and land management. In 2023, the company proudly celebrated 15 years of success and innovation. The AMETS team remains focused on partnering our clients, solutions focussed and building on our successes.
The Excellence in Mining Award recognises individuals who have made a lasting impact on the mining industry – and Leanne’s legacy of leadership, innovation, and integrity truly embodies this. Leanne is truly honoured to be nominated as a finalist in this category.
AMETS is looking forward with great anticipation to the announcements of the winners at the Awards Night on 19 June, which celebrates women driving progress and showing the next generation what’s possible.
