(Sharecast News) - Greatland Gold announced the appointment of Dean Horton as its new chief financial officer on Monday.
The AIM-traded firm said Horton would bring over 25 years of relevant experience, and would start his role immediately.
It said his expertise spanned project debt financing for Australian and international resources and energy projects, strategic corporate development, and corporate finance.
Horton had spent nine years at National Australia Bank, and most recently three years at Fortescue Metals Group.
His background included a robust skill set in project debt financing, financial strategy, management and reporting, treasury and liquidity capital management, business improvement, and risk management.
That experience positioned him well to support Greatland Gold in advancing the Havieron project, the board explained, as it moved through the feasibility study, project debt financing, development, and into commercial operations.
Monique Connolly, who had been serving as acting CFO during the recruitment process, would continue to play a key role in the company's senior leadership team as general manager finance.
"Dean is a great addition to Greatland's already strong management team and we are delighted he has joined us. His depth and breadth of experience, particularly in project debt financing, further enhances our capability to optimise and complete the funding and development of Havieron," said managing director Shaun Day.
"I would like to express my sincere thanks to Monique Connolly for her stewardship of the Finance team as acting chief financial officer over recent months, and my congratulations for her appointment as general manager finance."
At 1002 BST, shares in Greatland Gold were up 4.29% at 7.3p.
