Cyprium Metals Ltd expects to benefit from Scott Perry’s more than 25 years of distinguished leadership within the mining sector through his appointment as a non-executive director of the company and chair of the Audit Committee.
Most recently, Perry was president and CEO at Centerra Gold Incorporated where he grew the business from a single-asset company into a C$3 billion intermediate producer, with multiple operations and projects across Canada, Kyrgyzstan and Turkey.
His prior experience also includes roles as president and CEO of AuRico Gold, multiple CFO appointments and as a board member of the World Gold Council, where he served as chair of the Audit Committee from 2015 to 2021.
“Highly relevant experience”
Cyprium's executive chair Matt Fifield said: “We’re excited to have Scott join the Cyprium team. Scott brings highly relevant operating and governance experience to our growing company and has a deep background in strong financial stewardship.”
The new director said: “I am delighted to join Cyprium, which is quickly advancing one of the most exciting brownfields copper projects in Australia.
"I look forward to contributing to the company’s development as it continues to execute against its strategy and fast-track the recommencement of mining operations at Nifty.
“As we work to build the company into its fullest expression, expect us to continue to add outstanding team members to support the progress of Nifty from study through to execution phase," Perry concluded.
About Cyprium
Cyprium Metals' flagship property is the Nifty Copper Mine in Western Australia, which previously produced significant copper from both oxide and sulphide resources.
The company is focused on redeveloping Nifty, which has the advantage of significant invested capital, data from a long operating history, large-scale resources, current operational approvals and recent investment in the property.
Cyprium’s other assets include significant copper-focused properties in the Paterson and Murchison provinces, including multiple defined resources.
