ProActive Investors - Antipa appoints Mark Rodda as chair amidst wave of interest in Paterson Province
Antipa Minerals Ltd (ASX: AZY) has appointed Mark Rodda as executive chair, effective today, October 3, 2024.
Current non-executive chair Stephen Power will remain on the Antipa board as a non-executive director.
Rodda, who has been a director of Antipa since 2010, brings nearly 30 years of experience as a lawyer and corporate consultant, with an extensive background in legal, commercial and corporate management roles within the resources sector.
His previous roles include general counsel for LionOre Mining International, former chair of Coalspur Mines and current director of Lepidico.
Antipa says Rodda’s deep expertise in overseeing growth and strategic projects across multiple mining operations is well aligned with its exploration and development plans in the Paterson Province.
The decision to appoint Rodda as executive chair comes at a time of increasing corporate activity and heightened interest in the Paterson Province, which is home to Antipa’s flagship 100%-owned Minyari Dome Gold-Copper Project.
Province attracts new investment
The Paterson Province is attracting significant new investment and investor attention with its world-class gold and copper operations and development projects, including the Telfer mine and processing facility, Greatland Gold's Plc’s Havieron development project and Rio Tinto’s Winu development project.
With Rodda’s particular skill set in legal governance, project development and corporate strategy, Antipa is well-positioned to maximise the value of its portfolio of strategic interests, while rapidly advancing the exploration and advancement of the Minyari Dome Project.
"Well-positioned"
"I am delighted to step into the role of executive chair at such a pivotal time for Antipa,” Rodda said.
“The Paterson Province is seeing a new wave of corporate and institutional investment interest and our company is exceptionally well-positioned with a fantastic portfolio and significant development opportunity.
“I look forward to continuing to work closely with the board and excellent management team as we advance and unlock tangible value for our shareholders.
"On behalf of the board, I would like to thank Stephen for his leadership, ongoing commitment and continued contributions.
“We are currently preparing an update to the August 2022 Minyari Dome scoping study and look forward to sharing the outcomes in the coming weeks."
