Great Southern Copper PLC on Thursday said that it has appointed Martin Page as its new chief financial officer, and as a member of the board, following Paul Williams’ retirement.

Williams will retire from his position as CFO on August 1, on which date Page will become the Chile-focused copper-gold exploration company’s new CFO.

Page joins from his previous position as CFO at Trident Royalties PLC, an AIM-quoted junior mining royalty company, where he presided over an increase in the company’s market cap from $40 million to $200 million.

‘We are thrilled to welcome Martin as our new CFO. Martin brings with him more than a decade of experience in finance within the natural resources sector. We look forward to him leveraging his extensive expertise within capital markets and corporate finance at this very exciting time for the company,’ said Chair Charles Bond.

Great Southern Copper shares were trading 1.2% higher at 1.24 pence each in London on Thursday morning. Shares Trident Royalties were up 1.1% at 46.50 pence.
