Episode 32: Anthony Kiernan AM, Non-Exec. Chair of Genesis Minerals & Non-Exec. Chair of Pilbara Minerals
What an absolute cracker of an episode we have today – Mr Anthony Kiernan AM, Non-Exec Chair of lithium powerhouse Pilbara Minerals and growing Leonora gold company Genesis Minerals.
Tony is a highly respected and highly regarded, 35 year veteran in the management and operation of listed public companies and has many highlights from a wonderfully impressive career. These include over the years being Non-Exec Chair of BC Iron, Non-Exec Chair of Chalice Mining and Non-Exec Chair of Saracen Minerals.
Tony provides some seriously fantastic insights into his career and his observations including the deal making with Saracen such as buying 50% of the Kalgoorlie Super Pit, the mighty lithium growth story – and the challenges – since he commenced as Chair of Pilbara Minerals in 2016, his views on the role of a Board and the Chair and the challenges of cost inflation and labour in the mining sector.
Tony’s firm belief in the importance of cash flow, dividends and his love of the mining sector and the people involved shines through.
He was awarded a member of the Order of Australia for his significant service to business and the community which says it all.
