SYDNEY, Australia: Golden Mile Resources announced the appointment of experienced mining executive, Mr Damon Dormer as Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”). Damon will commence his duties as CEO on 1 March 2023.
Damon’s appointment reflects the increasing confidence in Golden Mile’s 100% owned Quicksilver Nickel – Cobalt Project.
Following the Stage 2 metallurgical testwork that demonstrated a potential pathway to production of multiple products, it became evident to the Board that appointing someone with both mining and engineering skills would be important in guiding the Company through the various studies required to progress the project forward and possibly into production.

As Golden Mile focuses its attention on further metallurgical and mining feasibility studies on our flagship project Quicksilver, Damon’s engineering expertise is an invaluable addition to the skill set of our management team.

A Mining Engineer with over 26 years of experience inclusive of 15 years mine management and executive roles, Damon has worked in studies, projects, operations and innovation across Australia, USA, Papua New Guinea and Africa.
Damon has had considerable success turning around mining projects and studies resulting in the construction of multiple mines in Africa as well as significant operational success in Australia.
He has also been heavily involved in mining innovation and has personally developed techniques and strategies for the mining industry.
Damon holds a Bachelor of Engineering in Mining from the Western Australian School of Mines and has held numerous statutory appointments across the African and Australasian regions.
Damon commented “I’m thrilled to be joining Golden Mile Resources as there has been excellent work done to date by the team in understanding the Quicksilver Project. This provides a great technical foundation for the studies and engineering work to build up the business case for the project.”
