Mitchell has been drilling since 1969 and are specialists in coal exploration and unconventional energy drilling. (This includes production and directional drilling for Coal Seam Gas and Coal Mine methane).In 2008 Mitchell sold the Australian drilling operations and now that the restraint of trade has expired are re-entering the Australian market after working overseas for five years.Investing in companies that form a bridge between today's energy requirements and tomorrow's energy solutions. We would all like to live in a world that is powered by green energy. We believe that until such technology can sustain our current demands, we will need to invest in and develop companies that provide a bridge to a sustainable world.Since 1969, the Mitchell Group have successfully developed and invested in companies that innovate, deliver and do things in 'a better way'.Having been extremely successful in the resource industry, the Mitchell Family made a decision to continue to invest in companies and technologies that create value and act as a bridge to a sustainable world.This decision was made from the belief that a realistic difference can be made and the family can contribute via their investments to community, industry and the environment.These investments tend to lean towards improving resource development and management, however we have and will continue to invest in any opportunities that demonstrate the ability to grow value through the delivery of strategy in 'a better way'.The Mitchell Group founded Verso Energy, and is committed to finding a cleaner alternative to satisfy the world’s growing energy needs, in the move towards more sustainable alternatives. Whilst natural gas is part of the transition away from coal, the development of coal seam gas is creating a new set of environmental challenges.  Verso believe that no resource should be obtained at the expense of groundwater, clean air and prime agricultural land and is currently developing a pilot project that will overcome these challenges.Verso are changing the way that coal is viewed as an energy source.  It is no longer something to be mined and burnt, and there is no need to be fracking or draining water for a small amount of gas.
