Tivan appoints Chief Operating Officer
The Board of Tivan Limited (ASX: TVN) (“Tivan” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that Mr Robert Gerrard has been appointed Chief Operating Officer of the Company, effective as of 20 April 2026.
Mr Gerrard is a senior director and executive with over 18 years of demonstrated success leading complex, largescale capital projects in the Australian resources and energy sectors, including major developments such as Carrapateena Copper-Gold Mine, and the Pluto, Ichthys and Gorgon LNG Projects. He possesses broad project execution experience under a variety of delivery models, including EPC and EPCM, complemented by a strong track record of stakeholder engagement in remote jurisdictions, a steadfast commitment to safety leadership and extensive global engineering and procurement networks.
In his most recent role as Senior Director, Energy and Resources at Kellogg Brown & Root (KBR), Mr Gerrard led the development and execution of KBR’s national growth strategy, driving market expansion in critical minerals and energy transition initiatives in Australia. His project experience at KBR includes the Nolans Rare Earths Project, the Hillside Copper Project, Pluto LNG Train 1 upgrade and the Yuri Renewable Hydrogen to Ammonia Project. He was also part of the integrated project management team that successfully delivered and commissioned the $1 billion Carrapateena Copper-Gold Mine in South Australia.
Prior to his time at KBR, Mr Gerrard worked as a Senior Engineer on the design, construction and commissioning of the Ichthys LNG Project in the Northern Territory, and as a Construction Superintendent for the construction and commissioning of non-process infrastructure at the Gorgon LNG Project in Western Australia.
As Chief Operating Officer, Mr Gerrard will oversee the build-out of Tivan’s project execution capability, including the people, systems and processes required to facilitate engineering, construction and commissioning of projects. He will also oversee operational readiness planning, and the establishment of operations teams, systems and processes in support of future transition of delivery projects into operations.
Mr Gerrard will also provide input into project development planning during project study phases, including project execution and contracting strategies, working closely with Mr Michael Christ, Project Director, Mr Brendon Nicol, Technical Director and Mr Jason Giltay, Chief Commercial Officer. He will join Tivan’s existing Leadership Team (see ASX announcement of 14 May 2025), reporting to Tivan’s Executive Chairman, Mr Grant Wilson.
The appointment of Mr Gerrard comes as Tivan advances its flagship Speewah Fluorite Project in Western Australia, recently included on the Joint Fact Sheet of the Government of Japan and the Government of the United States of America for Critical Minerals Project Cooperation (see ASX announcement of 23 March 2026). Tivan is currently progressing a Definitive Feasibility Study, including ramp-up in planning for project execution and operational readiness, targeting a final investment decision in Q4 this year.
Tivan is also progressing a Scoping Study for the Molyhil Tungsten Project in the Northern Territory, as part of a fasttrack project schedule that targets a final investment decision in Q4 2027. Concurrently, the Company is advancing a program of works at the adjoining Sandover Fluorite Project.
Tivan’s portfolio also includes the Turiscai, Baucau and Ossu copper-gold exploration projects located in the Democratic Republic of Timor-Leste.
