Woomera is making important organisational changes to support the pursuit of its mid-term exploration strategy focused on the Mt Venn Project in Western Australia. This includes the appointment of two well regarded Perthbased mining executives and four retirements from the Board of Directors.
New Board Appointments
Woomera has made two appointments to the Board, effective immediately:
-
Mr Ian Gordon as Non-Executive Director until assuming the role of Non-Executive Chairman after Woomera’s November 2020 Annual General Meeting; and
-
Mr David Richards as Non-Executive Director.
Mr Gordon is a mining executive with extensive experience in transaction generation, project acquisition, mine development and the management of public companies.

Woomera’s incoming Board member, Mr Ian Gordon, commented:
“ I am honoured and excited to join the Board of Woomera and am eager to work with our highly skilled geological team. Mt Venn is a top tier gold exploration project in an attractive region of Western Australia and I’m excited about the value it offers. Gold Road’s success at the significant yet similar Gruyere deposit highlights the attention Woomera deserves and outlines the potential of a discovery at the Mt Venn Project.”

Current non-executive Director, Mr David Lindh, has agreed to continue on the Board and provide important continuity through the restructuring process.
Woomera’s Non-Executive Chairman, Mr Neville Martin, commented:
“ I would like to thank Mr Anderson, Mr Triggs and Mr Fekete for their hard work and dedication over the years and are pleased that they will continue to support the Company under consultancy arrangements.
