Appointment of Independent Non-executive Director - Mr Ian Murray

The Board of Geopacific Resources Limited (Geopacific) is pleased to announce the appointment of Mr Ian Murray as an Independent Non-executive Director. The appointment comes as Geopacific is poised to take the Woodlark Gold Project through funding and construction, and into production.

Mr Murray brings a wealth of financial, corporate, project development and operational experience to the Board and most recently held the role of Managing Director of Gold Road Resources (Gold Road). Mr Murray was instrumental in taking Gold Road’s Guyere Project from an exploration play through to a fully funded 8.2mtpa gold operation that is set to produce 300koz per annum in joint venture with Gold Fields Ltd.

Geopacific Managing Director Ron Heeks said

“I look forward to working with Ian. The leadership, financial and project development skills that he brings to the company are world class and will be invaluable as Geopacific moves the Woodlark Gold Project through funding and construction, and into production”.

Mr Murray said

“I am very pleased to join the Board of Geopacific at this exciting stage of project development. The Woodlark Gold Project is only one of a few undeveloped gold projects on the ASX, but it stands out from its peers given its long mine life, low strip ratio and rapid payback.

I look forward to working with the rest of the Board and management, to develop the Woodlark Gold Project in a responsible manner which delivers sustainable value and benefit for all involved.”

Mr Murray has been the recipient of many awards during his leadership of Gold Road including the Gavin Thomas award for leadership, the Diggers and Dealers Deal of the year award in 2017, after winning the best emerging company award in 2011 as well as the CEO of the year award from CEO Magazine.

Mr Murray is a Chartered Accountant by profession who has held senior leadership positions with mining companies over the past 25 years including the position of Managing Director with Gold Road and DRDGold Ltd. Mr Murray has also held executive positions with international Big 4 accounting firms.

The board of Geopacific welcome the appointment of Mr Murray and look forward to his support and mentorship as the company moves into gold production at Woodlark.
