Talisman Mining Ltd (ASX: TLM) has announced the appointment of the highly regarded mining executive and geologist, Andrew Munckton, to the newly created role of managing director, effective immediately.
The appointment forms part of a rationalization of Talisman’s senior management team, with the position of chief executive officer being made redundant following the board’s decision to appoint a managing director with strong technical and geological experience. As a result, Mr. Shaun Vokes will step down from the role of CEO after more than seven years with Talisman.
Talisman’s chairman, Mr. Kerry Harmanis, said, “We are delighted to have someone of Andrew’s experience and capability joining the Talisman team in the newly created position of managing director. As we move to the next phase of exploration at our flagship Lachlan Copper-Gold Project in NSW, the board decided it was important to have someone with strong technical and geological credentials to lead our team through this next phase.”
Mr Munckton is an experienced geologist who has held senior management roles with a number of ASX-listed companies in a career spanning more than 30 years.
Most recently, Andrew has spent the past five years as managing director of gold exploration and development company, Kin Mining, where he oversaw the delineation of a 1.54Moz mineral resource at the Cardinia Gold Project, located in the Leonora region of the Eastern Goldfields region, Western Australia.
Mr. Hermanis continued, “With an ongoing royalty stream and a strong balance sheet, Talisman is also well placed to pursue attractive new business opportunities in the current environment – and Andrew will, working closely with me and the rest of the board, help drive that process forward.”
