Mr. Mills brings over 30 years of global expertise in mineral exploration, feasibility-stage projects, and M&A, with key roles in multiple multi-million-ounce gold discoveries across Africa, the Middle East, and Europe. He has held senior technical and management positions with leading firms, including Anglo American, Lundin Mining, and Red Back Mining.
At Anglo American, he served in senior geological roles across Turkey, Yemen, Iran, and Eastern Europe. As Country Manager in Ireland, he led the discovery of the Bog Zone satellite orebody to Anglo's Lisheen zinc-lead mine. As Principal Geologist for Asia-Pacific, he oversaw a significant zinc-lead discovery in Australia's Northern Territory and managed exploration in China and India.
At Lundin Mining, as Regional Exploration Manager for Africa-Eurasia, he provided technical oversight for major investments, including the Ozernoe Zn-Pb Feasibility Study in Russia and the Tenke Fungurume copper-cobalt project in the DRC, while contributing to M&A initiatives from Peru to Eritrea.
At Red Back Mining, he held senior roles in project generation, M&A, and exploration management prior to its acquisition by Kinross Gold. He then collaborated with Red Back's executive team on new ventures, including leadership at Sirocco Mining, where he was instrumental in discovering the Morondo gold deposit in Côte d'Ivoire (now Montage Gold's Kone Project). As Country Manager in Sudan, he led the discovery of Galat Sufar South (now Perseus Mining's Meyas Sand Project).
"We are delighted to welcome Stuart to the Daura Gold leadership team," said Mark Sumner, President of Daura Gold. "His discovery record and depth of technical expertise will be invaluable as we continue advancing exploration at our Antonella and Bonita Projects in southern Peru and evaluate new growth opportunities across the region."
"Daura Gold is positioned in one of the most exciting gold-silver belts in the Andes, and I'm eager to contribute to expanding its resource potential," said Stuart Mills. "With a strong technical team and supportive board, we have all the right elements to deliver meaningful results."
