ASX- and TSX-listed gold mining company Perseus Mining has appointed Wade Bickley as COO with effect from June 1.

Bickley, who will be based out of Perseus’ Dubai office, has more than 25 years of industry experience, with extensive expertise in gold and base metals operations across Australia, West Africa and Southern Africa.

In recent years, he has held senior management and executive roles in the mining industry where he led complex mining operations, processing production systems, major capital projects and operational turnarounds.

Bickley was also gold mining company AngloGold Ashanti GM for the Obuasi mine, in Ghana, and held technical leadership and executive roles across African operations and projects, including Cupric Canyon Capital Mining Khoemacau head, Anglo American Underground Mining lead and head, and Anglo American Platinum Mining Technical executive head.

Bickley joins Perseus from mining financing firm Appian Capital Base Metals where he served as COO.

Bickley holds a Bachelor of Engineering in Mining and a Bachelor of Science in Chemistry, both from the University of Queensland.

“Wade further enhances our leadership team. He will lead our operations across Africa at this pivotal time as we ramp up our underground operations at Yaouré and bring Nyanzaga into production, which is one of Africa's most significant new gold development projects.

“Wade has deep experience across mining, processing and production optimisation, and major capital project execution in complex, multi-jurisdictional African environments. We look forward to Wade applying his extensive operational expertise to drive performance and outcomes across our portfolio,” says Perseus MD and CEO Craig Jones.
