Greatland Resources Ltd (AIM:GGP, OTC:GRLGF, FRA:G8G, ASX:GGP) has strengthened its executive team with the appointment of experienced mining engineer Nick Strong as chief operating officer, putting him in charge of operations at Telfer and Havieron from 5 October 2026.
Strong brings more than 25 years of operational and leadership experience across the mining industry, mainly in gold and base metals, with previous roles at Northern Star Resources, Rio Tinto and Newcrest Mining.
He will work with Telfer general manager Mark Benson to maintain mining and processing performance at Telfer, while also overseeing the team delivering the brownfield Havieron underground mining development.
Greatland said Otto Richter will move from acting COO to chief technical officer when Strong starts. Richter joined the company in 2021 as group mining engineer and led technical due diligence for the acquisition of Telfer and Havieron.
In the new CTO role, Richter will focus on strategic mine planning and growth work across the portfolio, including technical studies for projects such as West Dome Underground.
