Latin Resources Ltd (ASX:LRS) (FRA:XL5) has appointed highly experienced geologist Tony Greenaway BSc (Geol) as head of exploration.
Greenaway is a senior geologist with broad experience gained over 23 years covering operations in Australia (WA and Lachlan Fold), Africa, South America (Chile), Central America (Mexico) and Asia (Indonesia).
The skillset that Greenaway brings to Latin provides significant operational and managerial strength that will enable the company to progress its current portfolio of projects.
Greenaway’s areas of responsibilities cover everything from exploration team management, geological technical overview and operational implementation, contract negotiation, permitting and government regulatory negotiation.
“Most exciting period in Latin’s history”
Latin managing director Chris Gale said: “The board and management team of Latin Resources welcomes Tony to the company at the most exciting period in our history as we look to progress a range of fantastic assets and projects, in Australia and South America.
“Tony obviously recognises the enormous potential in the project portfolio of Latin Resources and we will be greatly assisted by his experience and operational background, to advance these projects.
“I am confident that shareholders will see significant benefit from this appointment and we as a board are very excited to have Tony join us at this time.”
Yarara to benefit from Greenaway’s background
Greenaway has been involved with the exploration, development and production of copper and gold projects at very senior levels in his previous roles with Hancock Prospecting Pty Ltd, Iron Ore Holdings Ltd, White Star Resources Ltd and Talisman Mining Ltd.
With the past 3-years’ experience as manager of geology for a WA-listed exploration company in the Lachlan Fold Belt of NSW, it is envisaged that Latin’s recent acquisition of the Yarara Gold Project in the Lachlan Fold Belt would benefit immediately from Greenaway’s background across project initiation, planning and progress.
The Yarara Gold Project in the established mineral province hosting mining operations such as Cadia, Northparkes, Tomingley, Cowal and Peak Hill gold mines.
Yarara is endowed with multiple targets across the 50-kilometre Yarara shear containing 20 dormant historical gold workings.
