Surefire Resources (SRN) has appointed Paul Burton as its new Managing Director, effective February 6.
Mr Burton is well-experienced within the natural resources sector, having served as an executive, CEO and Managing Director over the course of his 30-year career in both Australia and internationally.
Surefire said he is one of the most “experienced professionals” in critical minerals projects, especially vanadium and its products and battery minerals.
“The Board and I are delighted with the appointment of Mr Burton at this pivotal time as we advance the company’s key vanadium projects at Victory Bore and Unaly Hill, Perenjori Iron Ore and our emerging Yidby gold discovery,” Surefire Executive Chair Vladimir Nikolaenko said.
Mr Burton has a geology background, having studied at McGill University in Canada, as well as being a graduate of the Australian Institute of Directors and AusIMM (Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy).
He has managed a number of successful corporate activities, and held senior and executive roles at LSE-listed Anglo American, as well as De Beers, Normandy Mining and Minotaur Exploration.
Most recently, Mr Burton was CEO of TNG, now TiVAN, where he stepped down from the role in November 2022, after 16 years of service at the company.
During his tenure, he played a vital role in resource discoveries and establishing a portfolio of quality exploration assets pushing the company to a market capital value of more than $100 million. He also overlooked the development of the company’s critical mineral vanadium and battery mineral alternative energy strategies.
Surefire aims to lean on Mr Burton’s expertise in advancing the company’s vanadium projects moving forward.
Shares in SRN were up 7.14 per cent, trading at 1.5 cents at 12:58 pm AEDT.
