Horizon Minerals (ASX:HRZ) has invited former Musgrave Minerals Managing Director Robert Waugh to join its board as a non-executive director.
With more than 35 years of experience in the resources sector, Waugh has held senior management positions with WMC Resources and BHP (ASX:BHP) prior to his role at Musgrave Minerals.
During his time as Managing Director, Musgrave Minerals was acquired by Ramelius Resources (ASX:RMS) for $200 million.
Waugh has extensive exploration experience in Western Australia including as part of the teams that discovered the Break of Day, White Heat and Big Sky gold deposits at Cue, the Nebo-Babel nickel-copper deposit in the West Musgrave region, the Cobbler gold deposit at Norseman, as well as the Duke Batman and Honeypot uranium deposits in Queensland.
Waugh attained a Bachelor of Science, majoring in geology, from the University of Western Australia and a Master of Science, majoring in mineral economics, from the Western Australian School of Mines. He is currently a member of the Australian Institute of Geoscientists and is a non-executive Chair of Caprice Resources (ASX:CRS) and non-executive director of Future Battery Minerals (ASX:FBM).
Non-executive Chair Ashok Parekh says the company is delighted to welcome Waugh to the board while working to grow its 1.8-million-ounce resource base and make new discoveries within the Western Australia goldfields.
“We are confident Rob will bring experience, wisdom and valuable insights to this exciting growth phase for the company,” he says.
Horizon Minerals is an emerging mid-tier gold producer with projects located in the Western Australian goldfields.
