Tyranna Resources Ltd’s (ASX:TYX) appointment of Geoffrey Clifford as non-executive chairman brings an experienced mining campaigner to the board.
Clifford also has experience with companies that have successfully developed mines in various geological settings of Western Australia.
His experience should be advantageous for Tyranna given its diversified asset base in that state.
Background in gold mining is also important
Clifford is the non-executive chairman of Saracen Mineral Holdings Limited (ASX:SAR), and a non-executive director of Independence Group NL (ASX:IGO).
Independence Group is essentially a gold mining company through the Tropicana joint venture even though it has operations across base metals.
Saracen is a pure gold play with a portfolio of exploration and production assets.
As Tyranna transitions to a producer in the first half of 2018, bringing the Eureka gold project into production, Clifford’s experience should assist in maximising efficiencies.
