Greatland Gold PLC has announced the appointment of Dean Horton as the Chief Financial Officer. Horton brings over 25 years of experience, including project debt financing, strategy and corporate development, and corporate finance. His appointment is expected to support the company in realizing the full potential of the Havieron project. Monique Connolly, who served as Acting Chief Financial Officer, will continue as the General Manager Finance. Shaun Day, the Managing Director, expressed his appreciation for Connolly's interim leadership and welcomed Horton's addition to the team.
The company's flagship asset is the Havieron gold-copper project in Western Australia, being developed in a joint venture with Newmont Corporation. The project, located near Newcrest's Telfer gold mine, has seen significant development progress, with the box cut and decline to the orebody already underway. The company aims to leverage the existing Telfer infrastructure and processing plant, which would de-risk the development and reduce capital expenditure.
Greatland Gold PLC's management team is optimistic about Horton's appointment, particularly his expertise in project debt financing, which is expected to enhance the company's capability to optimize and complete the funding and development of the Havieron project. The company's focus remains on precious and base metals, with Havieron being a key asset in its portfolio.
For further information, interested parties can contact the company's Managing Director, Shaun Day, or the nominated advisor and corporate brokers listed in the news release. Greatland Gold PLC is also engaged in media relations through the Gracechurch Group in the UK and Fivemark Partners in Australia.
