He has advanced qualifications in both geology and mining engineering and is a recognised specialist in resource delineation and mine development.
Jonathan started his career with Rand Refinery in South Africa, one of the largest gold refineries in the world, before he went on to become a geologist on Anglogold Ashanti's African operations. He then joined Perilya, a major Australian mining group, where he was a lead in the project development team which had the task of opening up new and restarting old mines, and evaluating M&A projects for acquisition and further investment. In addition to his work with Tectonic, Jonathan is the technical lead and COO of Agripower Australia Limited, a major private equity backed mining, industrial minerals and fertiliser business where Jonathan led mine development and processing plant construction.

Mr. Brett Boynton, Managing Director - Tectonic Gold Plc
"On behalf of the team, I would like to thank Dennis for his support over the last three years and his efforts in the partnership with Kazera. We look forward to seeing it come into production under his leadership.
We are very fortunate to have Jon's skill and experience coming onto the Board as we enter Ghana and I am really looking forward to working with him on the opportunities we have coming through the pipeline. Jon has a strong commitment to "giving back" to the industry and it has been a key factor in Tectonic securing the role for the technology transfer component of the program we are working up on the Ghana assets."
