SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA: Peak Minerals Limited announced the appointment of experienced resources executive, geophysicist, and geologist Jennifer Neild as Chief Executive Officer.
Ms Neild has more than 15 years’ experience in mineral exploration across a range of commodities and jurisdictions.
Ms Neild is a professional geologist with a broad range of experience in exploration, production and resource geology.
She has previously held positions with Xstrata Nickel, Newmont Australia and has had exposure to multiple commodities in prominent mineral camps around the world with a strong track record of successful target generation.
Most recently Ms Neild held the position of General Manager Interpretation for HiSeis Pty Ltd with a focus on geological modelling, structural geology and project development studies for client projects.
Ms Neild holds an Honours degree in Geology, from Laurentian University in Canada and a Master degree in Exploration Geophysics from Curtin University in Perth Australia.
Commenting on the opportunity, Ms Neild confirmed, “Given Peak’s recent success with multiple zones of intrusive magmatic copper being identified within the Company’s recently consolidated Greenrocks Project in Western Australia.
The role provides the opportunity to continue to build and validate the existing geological model’s success within the emerging new copper province. This geological model is aligned to similar magmatic sulphide deposits, like Oz Minerals Limited’s Neo-Babel in Western Australia and Eagle’s Nest held by Noront Resources in Canada.”
The appointment of Ms Neild will complement the highly experienced executive and exploration team in support and development of the Company’s copper exploration portfolio.
Chairman Robert Boston said: “Jennifer has a wealth of technical and practical experience in greenfields exploration in a range of settings with a strong exposure to copper exploration both from geological and geophysics with a strong focus on target generation, geological modelling, structural geology and project development.
We are excited to appoint a candidate with her in-depth exploration background to lead our company as we continue our strategy to progress exploration of our Western Australian copper projects.”
