Fortescue and Kookaburras extend gold partnership PERTH, 21 October 2014: Fortescue Metals Group has extended its sponsorship

of Australia's world champion men's hockey team in a deal announced today.
Fortescue chief executive officer Nev Power said Fortescue and the Kookaburras share many values of family, integrity determination and enthusiasm.
"Fortescue is extremely proud to be associated with the Kookaburras, a team with a high performance culture, both on and off the field, and a reputation for being the world's best. The Kookaburras are a team that embodies the very same values that drive Fortescue's unique culture," Mr Power said.
"We are equally proud to continue supporting the National Indigenous Hockey Program that is working to improve school attendance and the educational outcomes for children living in remote indigenous communities. This program helps students learn valuable health and life skills through their contact with high-performance athletes."
Hockey Australia Chief Executive Cam Vale said the continued relationship with
Fortescue had been an excellent boost to the team and Australian hockey.
"What marks our partnership is that it is more than just sponsorship. The work
Fortescue does with our National Indigenous Program in the Pilbara is making a
positive difference to the lives of young people in the community," Mr Vale said.
