FireFly Metals (ASX:FFM) has appointed experienced company director and finance industry executive Renée Roberts as a non-executive Director effective 23 July 2024.
Roberts has previously held C-Suite roles at corporations including NAB, Bank of New Zealand, and the Australian Prudential Regulatory Authority.
She has experience in risk management, financial services, governance, regulation, transformation, technology and digitisation, business growth and efficiency, strategic leadership, operations, strategy development and execution.
Roberts holds a Master of Applied Finance and Bachelor of Business and studied the advanced management program at Harvard Business School.
FireFly Chair Kevin Tomlinson says the appointment reflects the company’s growth from an emerging explorer to a substantial copper group.
“To attract a high performing Director such as Renée speaks volumes about the quality of the Green Bay Copper-Gold Project,” Tomlinson says.
“Renée’s experience will be invaluable as we advance Green Bay and assess a range of commercial options and agreements. “Importantly, Renée’s appointment also means that the FireFly Board now has a majority of Independent Directors”.
Now that FireFly appointed finance executive Roberts it will now look to form key committees of the board, including an audit and risk management committee, remuneration and nomination committee and health, safety and sustainability committee.
The company is an emerging copper-gold company focused on advancing the high-grade Green Bay Copper-Gold project in Newfoundland, Canada.
The Green Bay Copper-Gold Project currently hosts a mineral resource prepared in accordance with Canadian NI 43-101 of 39.2Mt at 2.1% for 811,000t CuEq. The Company has clear strategy to rapidly grow the coppergold resource to demonstrate a globally significant copper-gold asset. FireFly Metals has started a 40,000m diamond drilling program.
