He has held senior finance roles with a number of SGX and ASX-listed businesses, including Sakari Resources Ltd, Aquila Resources Ltd (TSX:AQA), Iluka Resources Ltd (ASX:ILU) and most recently with Sandfire Resources Ltd (ASX:SFR).
“We are delighted to welcome Christopher as our new CFO. An experienced and respected operator, Christopher brings considerable expertise in guiding publicly quoted mining companies through periods of rapid growth and transformation,” said chief executive Shaun Day.
“This skillset will be an immense asset to Greatland as we progress Havieron up the value curve and develop the wider business."
The world class Havieron gold-copper deposit in Western Australia is Greatland’s flagship asset. The project is being developed with Newcrest Mining Ltd (ASX:NCM).
"Greatland is regarded across Australia as one of the most exciting and dynamic companies in the natural resources sector,” said Toon. “Underpinned by its world-class flagship asset, tier one partner and exploration profile, the business is now entering a key growth phase and is well placed to scale at speed.”
