I am looking forward to joining the team and contributing my skills and expertise to take this business forward.”
Additionally, Minerals 260 Chairman Anthony Cipriano says: “Luke is a passionate and strategic thinker and a strong and energetic leader who will be a fantastic addition to our senior leadership team.
His recent role at OZ Minerals and extensive previous corporate experience has given him an excellent understanding of the value of exploration opportunities — such as the ones we have secured at Minerals 260 — as the foundation to drive our growth and help build a successful resources business.
David will continue to play a critical role as Executive Director in helping oversee our ongoing exploration programs at Moora/Koojan and Aston while working with Luke to build our team for the future — with significant experience across exploration, project development, project generation, and financial markets.”
The company notes in McFadyen’s recent role at OZ Minerals as Head of Portfolio Strategy and Economics, he was responsible for the development and analysis of corporate strategy and market intelligence and group valuation, and he led the internal independent assessment of growth opportunities at the company.
