Sam Murphy
Director / Operations Manager
Danv Tools Australia

Sam’s mining career started 16 years ago in the drill and blast industry as an air core offsider and over the years worked his way into many management roles. Sam also spent years as a shot firer and designing blast masters and pit floors for major mines. After many years spent in Superintendent and site manager roles, Sam has studied and developed not only his industry knowledge but in-depth business knowledge.
Sam believes joining the Mining Club Committee is a good way to help the current committee toward their goal of helping the advancement of mining, particularly in WA. To Sam, the STEM Spark program is one that focuses on the grassroots and is something he strongly believes in. Becoming a committee member would give Sam great fulfillment and the ability to give back to an industry that has made his and many other families’ lives better.
Sam believes his ability to think critically, analytically, creatively, and laterally will allow him to add value to the committee. This followed by a progressive mindset and very hard-working ability and background enables him to really help get the ball rolling in a lot of areas. Sam believes knowledge is not worth having if you can’t use it to help others and give back.

Rob Humphryson
Consultant
RH Consultants

Since graduating from the WA School of Mines in the early 90s as a Mining Engineer, Rob has enjoyed a diverse resource industry career spanning 3 decades. Rob’s natural habitat is underground mine contracting, having spent half of his career with Macmahon Underground and a few years at Swick Mining Services. Beyond this, he’s had broad exposure to most facets of the resources industry, having worked in both underground and in open pit mining for both owner miners and contractors as well as part owning a mining supply company (Total Coolants) and now semi-retired and working as a consultant. Semi-retirement affords him the time to give back to the industry as a mentor to around a dozen young (and some not so young) industry professionals and if elected, would also allow him to devote time to the WA Mining Club committee. Rob is regarded by his peers as being an energetic, innovative and creative thinker that understands the power of networking.

The Mining Club is ticking over nicely and enjoying excellent membership support, with monthly functions very well attended. Whilst Rob is in the “if it aint broke, don’t fix it” camp, Rob believes there’s always room for new ideas and improvement.
