UK-headquartered Greatland Gold is continuing to beef up its board with local talent as it prepares for an ASX listing later this year.

The East Pilbara explorer on Tuesday announced it was bringing on WA director and corporate lawyer Yasmin Broughton as an independent non-executive director.

She joins fellow WA directors Mark Barnaba, Greatland’s non-executive chair and a board member of the Reserve Bank of Australia, Greatland’s managing director and former Northern Star Resources chief financial officer Shaun Day, former Fortescue Metals Group chief executive Elizabeth Gaines and ex-BHP ore boss James Wilson.

Greatland said Ms Broughton’s extensive experience — in corporate law, mergers and acquisitions, governance, risk management and compliance and regulation — would complement the board ahead of its planned listing on the Australian Securities Exchange in the September quarter.


Some interesting news from our nextdoor neighbours GGP. In anticipation of their upcoming ASX listing, they've appointed a new non-executive director. She's been brought in for her extensive experience in corporate law and MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS.

To me, it seems highly unlikely that probably the strongest board in corporate Australia has entered the jr mining and exploration space, just for only 30% of a deposit that's still years away from full production and processing. I think there's a big possibility that GGP will more than likely try to add some ground and millions of oz's more to their Paterson operations, especially with Andrew Twiggy Forrest onboard.
