Greatland Gold PLC (AIM:GGP, OTC:GRLGF, FRA:G8G) announced it has appointed Paul Hallam as a new non-executive director.

He has global operational and corporate experience from his executive roles, including Director of Operations with Fortescue Metals Group (ASX:FMG), Executive General Manager of Developments & Projects with Newcrest Mining Limited (ASX:NCM), Director of Victorian Operations with Alcoa (NYSE:AA) as well as Executive General Manager of Base and Precious Metals at North Ltd.
Hallam has been on the board of several Australian and international companies listed on stock exchanges.
He will start his new role on 1 September and will also join the Audit and Risk Committee and Remuneration Committee.
The AIM-listed miner also announced the appointment of Callum Baxter to the Technical Advisory Committee.
He will step down from his full-time role as chief technical officer and director on 31 August to focus on this new endeavour.
The Technical Advisory Committee will report to the chief executive and provide technical input and enhance the company's existing capabilities in exploration, resource definition, mine development and ore processing.
Baxter will be joined by industry experts Stuart Masters, Simon Hanrahan and Dr Ian Ritchie in the committee.
Baxter will join the Technical Advisory Committee due to the instrumental role he has played in Greatland's success, the firm said.
After founding the company in 2005, he used his geological and technical expertise to lead a globally recognised exploration programme in the Paterson region of Western Australia.
In 2016, Greatland acquired tenements in this region and commenced focussed ground geophysics and data modelling before implementing a targeted four-hole drill program under 400 metres of cover, leading to the discovery of the high grade gold and copper Havieron deposit.
