ASX-listed Wia Gold has appointed David Edwards CFO, effective March 9.

Edwards brings highly relevant financial and corporate experience to support Wia’s strategy of advancing the Kokoseb gold project, in Namibia, through feasibility, development and into production, the company says.

Edwards is a chartered accountant and experienced company secretary with over 25 years of international financial leadership in resources and construction.

He is currently CFO and company secretary of Alliance Nickel and has previously held CFO roles with ASX-listed resource companies, including Triton Minerals from 2016 to 2021, where he led the financial and commercial workstreams for the Ancuabe graphite project in northern Mozambique, from scoping study through feasibility, construction contract negotiations and project financing discussions.

Edwards previously held senior finance leadership roles at Clough from 2013 to 2016, and Fortescue Metals Group from 2010 to 2013, where he supported the company through a period of rapid growth.

Prior to joining the mining industry, he worked in corporate finance and advisory roles with Deloitte Australia.

His resources company experience includes leading project financing strategies, negotiating strategic partnerships and offtake agreements, establishing financial governance frameworks and managing finance operations and compliance across African jurisdictions.

“David’s appointment marks the beginning of Wia’s next phase of growth as we build the infrastructure required to bring the rapidly advancing Kokoseb gold project into the development stage,” says CEO and MD Henk Diederichs.

“His extensive experience overseeing periods of rapid growth across both large and emerging mining companies equips Wia with the capability to execute its strategy of becoming a fast‑growing, midtier gold producer to unlock significant value for all stakeholders,” he adds.
