Director of Brockman Resources and Executive Project Director of Minprovise International and Strike Resources.
Burley Minerals’ Chairman, Bryan Dixon, said Wayne’s experience complements the current board and management team’s skills and experience well.

Mr Dixon also thanked Mr Powell for his significant contribution to the company.
“Gary will continue to spearhead our exploration and resource definition efforts and make an important contribution to our ongoing evaluation studies,” he said.
