ASX-listed Bannerman Energy has appointed its existing CEO Gavin Chamberlain as MD and Danny Goeman as an independent nonexecutive director.

Chamberlain joined Bannerman as COO in February 2023 and was subsequently promoted to CEO from March 2024.

The company describes Chamberlain as a deeply experienced minerals sector leader and project builder, with a substantial and successful record in construction, engineering and project management, most particularly within the Southern African mining industry.

His professional experience includes being the responsible project director for the development of the $2-billion Husab uranium project, in Namibia, now one of the world’s largest operating uranium mines.

Meanwhile, Goeman was appointed to the role of independent chairperson of Bannerman’s product offtake committee in May 2025.

The company describes him as a highly proven commodity marketing executive with a stellar professional record spanning a range of leading mining organisations, mainstream and niche commodities, and geographical regions.

Goeman is currently the chief marketing officer for Hancock Iron Ore and a nonexecutive director of ASX-listed RareX.

“I would like to warmly congratulate Gavin on his elevation to the Bannerman board. Our recent transformational project funding arrangement with global nuclear leader, CNNC Overseas Limited (CNOL), brings a targeted final investment decision on the Etango uranium project into sharp focus.

“We believe this is a logical point for the progression of Gavin to the combined CEO and MD role – a reflection of his outstanding contributions over the past two years in leading our business to this position,” says Bannerman executive chairperson Brandon Munro.

Munro points out that Chamberlain’s promotion takes effect as the company targets completion of the CNOL transaction and a transition into full-scale construction of Etango, in Namibia, from the second half of this year.

“Danny has made an excellent contribution to the Bannerman team, proving to be a highly insightful and focussed leader of our product offtake committee, while demonstrating astute commercial judgment and extensive experience in international markets.

“I am delighted this natural progression enables the company to harness these skills more extensively at board level.

“His depth of knowledge in the marketing, commercial negotiation and offtake space in both Asian and European markets is second to none and will prove increasingly valuable as we advance further towards uranium production.”
