“He has made a significant contribution to the advancement of the company and in particular our exploration efforts at Sanankoro.
“We look forward to his continued valuable input as a technical adviser.”
Mr Davidson has experience in the natural resources sector across jurisdictions and commodities.
He was the founding CEO of Trident Royalties plc which was acquired by Deterra Royalties Ltd in 2024.
