DIRECTOR
Ric Dawson is an accomplished resources executive, geologist, and company director with more than 25 years’ experience spanning ASX-listed company leadership, mineral exploration, and Australian and international capital markets. He combines geological expertise with strategic and commercial judgement, supported by a record of capital raisings, public listings, corporate transactions, and project advancement.
A defining achievement was Mr Dawson’s leadership of Kula Gold Limited as Managing Director through its successful takeover by Forrestania Resources Limited, completed in March 2026. At announcement, the offer valued Kula at approximately A$60 million and represented more than a 11X premium to its August 2025 capital raising market valuation. The transaction marked a significant commercial success, providing Kula shareholders with participation in a larger Western Australian gold business and its future growth.
Mr Dawson previously served as Managing Director of Prosperity Resources Limited, where he led its successful ASX listing and advanced exploration projects across Western Australia, the Northern Territory and Indonesia. He also served as Managing Director of Australia Minerals & Mining Group Limited, now Altech Batteries Limited, contributing to research and development into high-purity alumina production from Meckering kaolin.
His experience encompasses acquisitions, joint ventures, and international commercial negotiations, including agreements with Chinese steel companies. His project achievements include advancing the Masuparia gold project in Indonesia and discovering and developing the Woolshed iron ore project in Western Australia. His earlier career in stockbroking and resources analysis provides a strong capital markets foundation for his executive and board roles.
