Chief Financial Officer
From 1998 to 2007 Nicola was a Manager of Business Development and Investor Relations for Normandy Mining (subsequently Newmont Australia), from 2009 to 2020 a Senior Commercial Advisor at Beach Energy (ASX:BPT), and most recently an Associate Director with KPMG's Government Incentives and Grants where she focused on securing non-dilutive State and Federal Government funding incentives for South Australian commercialisation and development initiatives.
Based in Adelaide, Nicola will play a key role in Barton's corporate and project-level development initiatives and financing strategies as the Company leads the development of a new large-scale gold industry in the central Gawler Craton.
Commenting on Ms Frazer's appointment as CFO, Barton Managing Director Alex Scanlon said:
"Barton is at an exciting stage in its corporate evolution, and we are pleased to grow our leadership team with the appointment of another skilled professional who shares our passion for South Australia's advancement.
"Having been part of the team that grew Normandy Mining to over 2 million oz annual gold production before its sale to Newmont, Nicola brings many valuable insights to us as an emerging South Australian gold developer.
"Her experience with non-dilutive State and Federal grant funding initiatives will also be of high value to Barton. Since its 2021 IPO, Barton has distinguished itself by generating ~$10 million in non-dilutive funding through asset monetisation initiatives and grant programs. This has been immensely valuable to our shareholders and will continue to be a key focus area as we lead the redevelopment of the central Gawler Craton's gold industry."
Authorised by the Board of Directors of Barton Gold Holdings Limited.
