Qteq board welcomes mining professional
Perth-based mining and corporate governance specialist Mark Donovan (pictured) has been appointed to the Board of Qteq Pty Ltd as a non-executive director.
Mr Donovan has 22 years’ experience in the minerals industry and, before then, worked for more than 10 years as a lawyer and partner in a Perth legal firm, where he specialised in criminal and commercial litigation.
After moving into the minerals field, Mr Donovan held senior legal and managerial roles with WMC Resources and BHP Billiton, most recently as its head of corporate affairs for BHP Billiton’s Western Australian Iron Ore operations.
Qteq Chairman and Chief Executive Simon Ashton said Mr Donovan’s considerable experience in corporate governance and knowledge of the Australian minerals industry would be a valuable addition to the company’s Board.
“Mark has a thorough understanding of the industry across legal, risk, governance, communications and government affairs,” Mr Ashton said.
“He has extensive experience in commercial and contractual negotiations and has led multi-disciplinary teams in a broad range of areas, from exploration to negotiating native title agreements and development agreements with state governments.”
Mr Donovan takes up his new appointment on November 1, 2017.
