Deep Yellow Ltd. has appointed Greg Field as managing director and CEO, effective May 1, 2026.
Field is succeeding John Borshoff, who resigned in October.
Deep Yellow said Field’s appointment followed a comprehensive search that prioritised a leader with strong execution capability, a proven track record in delivering capital projects and deep familiarity with the jurisdictions the company operates.
Field was previously managing director for project development at Rio Tinto. He has extensive experience of both brownfield and greenfield capital project execution. During his tenure at Rio Tinto, he delivered multiple major studies and projects across a range of commodities, including diamonds, copper, aluminium and lithium.
Field began his career in South Africa and is familiar with Namibia, which is a key operating region for Deep Yellow.
Field said he was honoured to join Deep Yellow at such a pivotal time for the company and the uranium sector.
“I believe uranium has a key role to play in the global transition to clean energy, and Deep Yellow is uniquely positioned to contribute to that shift. I have been impressed by the depth of experience within the Deep Yellow team and the progress achieved on the Tumas Project.”
Executive chair Chris Salisbury said the board was delighted to have attracted Field, noting that his arrival comes at the perfect time to own the near-term Tumas final investment decision.
“The company’s strategy remains unchanged, and we will continue the orderly derisking of the Tumas project whilst also watching the uranium market develop the conditions necessary to support greenfield development.”
