Entech

Well, that is one way to command a room.

You would have to be living under a rock not to have heard of The Push-Up Challenge - Australia. If you haven’t, see our previous post.

We were very fortunate to have the founder, Nick Hudson, join the Entech team at our annual Men's Health Week event and share the story behind the phenomenon. Fun fact: Nick and our very own Tom Parrott went to school together back in Melbourne 😊

Nick spoke openly about living with a serious heart condition, the depression that followed and how those experiences ultimately became the catalyst for creating something much bigger than himself.

What stood out was that success rarely comes down to talent alone. More often, it is built on adversity, resilience and the decision to keep going when things get hard.

And once his health challenges were behind him, the business challenges arrived. One obstacle after another. A bit like a game of whack-a-mole. Guess what? Nick kept showing up.

It's not lost on us that the guy who once had a failing heart has one of the biggest hearts around.

Today, more than one million people across four continents have taken part in The Push-Up Challenge, helping raise more than $90 million for mental health programs and services. Simply outstanding 🙌

If you haven't taken part before, grab your family, mates or work crew and put a team together for 2027. The challenge is designed for everyone. Pick your own style, choose your level and get involved.

Yes, you'll improve your fitness. Yes, you'll help raise funds and awareness for mental health, but you'll probably find something else as well. Connection, conversation, banter and a reason to check in on each other every day.

Like most things built on good intentions, you'll be surprised by the ripple effect.

Thanks again, Nick, for sharing your story with us 🙏

The toughest challenges are not always the ones you can see. Every June, hundreds of thousands of Australians take part in The Push-Up Challenge. Next week, we'll hear the story behind it.

As part of Men's Health Week, we're looking forward to welcoming Nick Hudson to speak with the Entech team before our Healthy Morning Tea next week.

Most people know The Push-Up Challenge. Fewer know the story behind it.

What started in Perth in 2017 with four friends, a few push-ups and a desire to get fit has grown into Australia's largest mental health and fitness event. More than one million Australians have taken part, helping raise over $70 million for mental health programs and services.

Along the way, Nick has navigated his own experiences with depression before and after life-saving open-heart surgery. His journey offers powerful lessons in resilience, motivation and finding purpose through adversity.

We're looking forward to hearing how The Push-Up Challenge came to life, the challenges behind building a national movement, and why conversations around mental health matter just as much as conversations around physical health.

A big thank you to Nick for joining us during Men's Health Week and sharing his story with the team 🙏

Pleased to support the next generation of mining professionals ☺️

Most of us can remember being students and how valuable opportunities like conferences, field trips and industry connections were in helping shape our careers.

Mining is built on knowledge sharing, mentorship and giving people a chance to get involved early. If sponsoring a few students helps make that journey a little easier, we're all for it.

Looking forward to seeing the students get the most out of the conference and field trip. Thanks to CIM New Brunswick Branch for creating the opportunity 🙌

Thanks for the heads up Kelly! Damien would have been very popular at home or ripe for an impromptu dinner invite with the message “We’ll cook. Just bring drinks” 😉

Damien attended the WA Mining Club’s luncheon last week at Optus Stadium and was the lucky winner of the raffle sponsored by the International Mining and Resources Conference (IMARC).

Situated smack bang on the equator, where the Andes meet the Amazon Basin, Titan Minerals Dynasty Gold Project is a pretty spectacular place to get boots on the ground 🌏

With Entech acting as Competent Person for the Mineral Resource Estimate underpinning the project, Lisa recently headed to Ecuador for a site visit and a firsthand look at the geology driving Dynasty forward.

Site visits like these are a critical part of the process. Seeing the project in context, understanding the geology firsthand and spending time with the team all matter when delivering quality technical outcomes.

Exciting to be working alongside Titan Minerals as Dynasty continues to build momentum and progress toward its next stage of development 🙌

Another strong operator joins the Geology team.

Welcome to Entech, Victoria Lawns 🙌

Victoria brings more than 14 years of operational experience across underground and open-pit operations in WA and Guyana. Her recent role was Senior Resource Geologist at Antipa Minerals, with previous experience across Plutonic, Karouni in Guyana, Mount Monger and the Focus Minerals Coolgardie and Widgiemooltha Operations.

Her background gives her a strong practical edge across modelling, resource estimation and troubleshooting complex geological datasets.

Victoria adds even more capability and depth to the team and we are looking forward to having her involved across a range of client projects.

Great to have you with us, Victoria ☺️

The 100th year of anything is quite remarkable. This time, it was the CIM CONNECT Convention and Expo’s turn 🙌

Lindsey Fancy, Jason Allen, Patrick McCann and Brendan Hourie from the Entech Canada team were in Vancouver last week helping celebrate under the theme “Our Mining Moment: Strategic Growth and Sustainable Operations”.

With the global mining industry shifting quickly, conversations around smarter planning, sustainability and making better decisions earlier have never been more important.

That is where we come in.

Our team works alongside clients to help navigate uncertainty, reduce risk and support better technical and strategic decisions across mining projects and operations.

Great catching up with clients, industry contacts and familiar faces across the week ☺️

What started as a chat 10 years ago turned into something a bit bigger.

Tom Parrott took his love of working on mine sites and brought it into the consulting world, backing it with real experience and a genuine interest in the variety that comes with the work.

That combination has played a big role in the growth of our Geotechnical team. Under Tom’s lead, it has become a strong part of the business in its own right, working closely with our mining engineers and geologists to deliver a practical, coordinated solution for clients.

Tom has played a big part in building Entech’s Geotechnical arm into what it is today and in shaping Entech’s story and success.

Join us in congratulating Tom on the milestone 👇
