Prior to joining Echo, Victor held the role of Chief Operating Officer for leading underground mining contractor Barminco and has held senior roles with Gold Fields and Newmont Mining.

Siren’s Executive Chairman, Brian Rodan commented:

“We would like to thank the overwhelming support from existing shareholders and welcome new shareholders to the register as part of this capital raising. I would like to extend my gratitude to both Morgans and Evolution for managing this raise.

I look forward to the ongoing and continuing support for all parties as we work towards increasing our current resource base and advancing both the Sams Creek and Reefton / Auld Creek projects to successful Mining Permit application status.

With the appointment of Mr Victor Rajasooriar to the Managing Directors role, I am very confident that Siren holds the requisite expertise to continue advancing the Company’s projects to eventual Gold and Antimony production on the South Island of New Zealand, a Tier 1 country with a leading mining industry”.
