Simon was appointed a Director in October 2013 and is an experienced mining executive with a strong track record of advancing resource projects and securing the capital required to deliver them.
Since acquiring the Sorby Hills Project in 2018, Simon has led its transformation into a construction-ready project, raising the capital required to explore, evaluate and de-risk the asset. Under his leadership, Boab has delivered a 2.8x increase in the Mineral Resource, completed Pre-Feasibility and Definitive Feasibility Studies, secured key approvals and binding offtake agreements, and most recently secured approximately $350 million in funding to support project construction.
Previously, as Managing Director of Groote Resources Ltd, Simon oversaw its growth from a market capitalisation of less than $10 million to more than $200 million. He later co-founded West Rock Resources Ltd, where he managed joint ventures and strategic alliances with mid-tier and major mining companies and led the exploration, evaluation of resource projects across Australia and South America until West Rock was acquired by Boab Metals in 2013.
Simon is a committed member of the Western Australian resources industry, a member of the Australian Institute of Company Directors, and a Fellow of the Australian Institute of Management.
