The AIM-traded firm said Richter had more than 20 years of experience as a group mining engineer in international mining and consulting roles.
He has held “key” technical and operational positions with multiple underground and open-pit operations in Australia and abroad, it said, adding that his consulting experience had covered mining projects at all levels, including technical and due diligence reviews and independent technical advisory roles to multiple international companies.
With an operational and consulting background, Greatland said Richter had a “solid foundation” in a range of mining methods, including stoping, sub-level caving, block caving and open pit, across various commodities, including gold and base metals.
His recent roles included group study manager for Resolute Mining, principal consultant for Snowden Mining Industry Consultants, and mine planning manager for Newcrest Mining at the Telfer Mine.
“To appoint someone of Otto's calibre and skillset in this newly created role is a significant addition to the company and reflects the scale of the opportunity ahead,” said chief executive officer Shaun Day.
“His underground expertise across multiple mining methods coupled with local knowledge of Telfer will be invaluable as we progress with mine development at Havieron.
“This appointment further enhances Greatland's organisational capability as we continue to transition into a leading development and exploration company.”
