Antipa Minerals strengthens executive capabilities to cater for next growth phase
Published: 12:33 16 Sep 2021 AEST
Antipa Minerals Ltd (ASX:AZY) has made changes to its Board of Directors to ensure it has the necessary executive capabilities in place for the next stage of growth following a transformative period over the past 18 months.
Mark Rodda has been appointed as an executive director – Commercial and Legal while Stephen Power will assume the role of non-executive chairman with these changes to take effect on September 16, 2021.
The continued progress of Antipa’s three farm-in/joint venture projects with high-quality partners Rio Tinto, Newcrest and IGO, and the development of its 100%-owned Minyari Dome Project have led to increasing executive requirements.
Antipa believes it will be able to draw further on Rodda’s vast experience to help meet these requirements.
“Experience will be invaluable”
Antipa’s managing director Roger Mason said: “We are very pleased Mark is joining the board of Antipa in an executive capacity.
“Mark has an intimate understanding of the company and its assets and his practical experience and knowledge will be invaluable as we enter the next exciting stage of growth for the company.”
Rodda’s experience
Rodda has been a non-executive director of Antipa for the last 10 years and has been an integral part of the company’s development.
He has been a lawyer and corporate consultant for more than 24 years and has considerable practical experience in the management of local and international mergers and acquisitions, divestments, exploration and project joint ventures, strategic alliances, corporate and project financing transactions and corporate restructuring initiatives.
Rodda currently manages Napier Capital Pty Ltd, a specialist corporate advisory business established in 2008 to assist clients with transactional or strategic projects.
Before this, he held the position of general counsel and corporate secretary for LionOre Mining International Ltd, a company with operations in Australia and Africa and listings on the TSX, LSE and ASX, which was acquired by Norilsk Nickel for more than US$6.3 billion.
