Friends and family have paid tribute to a fun-loving 29-year-old who died last week at a mining project in the northern Goldfields. Peter Groves was killed following a “site incident” on Thursday afternoon at Saturn Metals’ Apollo Hill gold exploration project near Leonora. Mr Groves was an employee of Boulder-based Challenge Drilling for the past seven years. One of his colleagues set up a GoFundMe page to support the Groves family, which has so far raised about $7500 of its $25,000 goal.
“The loud laugh the cheeky smile and the happiness you brought to me was next level after losing one brother you somehow managed to make everyone laugh at there worst. You had to be the most special. Till I see you again,” another said. Challenge Drilling, which has about 50 employees, declined to comment when approached by The West Australian.
