PERTH: Patriot Resources Limited (ASX: PAT) announced today the appointment of Dominic Duggan as Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, effective immediately.
Duggan, who had been serving as the company’s CEO, will now take on the expanded role to lead the company through its next phase of growth.
A mining engineer and finance professional, Duggan brings more than a decade of experience in iron ore, gold and base metals operations across both underground and open pit environments.

Duggan holds bachelor’s degrees in Mining Engineering and Commerce (Finance) from the University of New South Wales, as well as a Western Australian Site Senior Executive statutory qualification.
“Since joining Patriot, Dom has demonstrated strong leadership, technical depth and a clear ability to manage the diverse requirements of a junior ASX mining company,” said Hugh Warner, Patriot’s chairman. “His operational experience across large-scale mining operations, combined with his financial expertise, positions him well to lead the development of the high-grade Tassa silver and gold project in Peru.”
Warner also noted that Duggan has built relationships with in-country teams and local stakeholders, including the Tassa community, which will be critical to the project’s success.
Patriot is advancing a global portfolio that includes the Tassa Gold-Silver Project in Peru, the Kitumba Copper Project in Zambia and the Gorman Lithium Project in Canada.
