Breakthrough Minerals has appointed Nigel Broomham as managing director to lead and accelerate growth across its North Queensland copper-gold project.
Broomham, who will assume the role on March 20, has more than 15 years of experience across exploration, resource development, mining operations and corporate leadership.
He joins Breakthrough Minerals from Battery Age Minerals where he served as CEO. During his tenure, he led a period of growth through exploration, corporate strategy, global project acquisitions and the expansion of exploration projects across multiple jurisdictions.
The board believes Broomham’s experience of disciplined exploration execution positions him well to lead the company through its next phase of growth.
Breakthrough Metals Chairman Graeme Robertson said: “Nigel brings a strong combination of technical expertise, operational experience and leadership capability, which the board believes will be instrumental in driving the company forward.
“We see Nigel as a key force in leading Breakthrough Minerals as we build our resource base and ultimately transition from an exploration-focused company toward development, leveraging the substantial and highly prospective copper-gold concessions we hold in the Mt Isa region of Queensland.”
Broomham expressed his eagerness in joining the company as it transitions into a growth phase.
“Breakthrough holds a highly compelling copper-gold asset base in north Queensland, supported by a strong existing resource foundation and significant exploration upside,” Broomham said.
“My focus will be on disciplined, high-impact exploration to rapidly grow the company’s resource base, while building a strong technical and operational team capable of unlocking the full potential of this portfolio and delivering long-term value for shareholders.”
Upon commencement of Broomham’s tenure, Executive Director Peretz Schapiro will step down from his executive duties and assume the role of non-executive director.
Breakthrough Minerals’ flagship North Queensland copper-gold project is located in the Mt Isa region of north-west Queensland, a copper-gold province with a long history of large-scale mining and established infrastructure.
