Simon Lawson, Executive Chairman (Interim) –
Simon Lawson is a broadly experienced geologist and corporate executive with 18yrs experience predominantly in high-grade structurally complex gold and base metal systems.
Mr Lawson says he has built a career working at good resource projects with great people. From the high-grade Cosmos Nickel Project with Jubilee Mines crafting an extensive understanding of complex narrow-vein mineralization, early Silver Lake Resources making discoveries and tripling the life of mine at Daisy Milano Gold Mine, and in 2010 joining Mr Bill Beament at early Northern Star Resources on a six year “thrill ride” as the company grew from a single unloved asset to a multi-mine multi-billion dollar gold mining juggernaut.
More recently Mr Lawson formed his own team in pursuit of a new transformative gold story mixing drilling and discovery with shuttering mining operations, recapitalising, rebranding before building the A$1B market cap gold developer, Spartan Resources.
Simon pays tribute to the influential people he has met along the way to his focus on creating and backing good teams, maintaining nimble and decisive strategy and an ever-present mindset to always drill like there is no tomorrow!
