Sydney, Australia (ABN Newswire) -
Triton Minerals Ltd. (ASX:TON) is pleased to announce the appointment of Ms. Paula Ferreira as a Non-Executive Director of the Company.
Paula is a Mozambican citizen and a Chartered Accountant certified by Ordem dos Contabilistas e Auditores do Mocambique (OCAM) with over 44 years of experience.
Paula is a highly qualified professional having spent over 15 years of her early career in the construction industry as an accountant, Chief Financial Officer and senior executive. She was one of the founders of the major Mozambican construction company CETA, having a strategic role in the merger of the 6 construction companies that formed CETA.
Subsequently, Paula spent the next 27 years devoted to financial audit, consulting and advisory roles. Paula was the managing director and a partner of Deloitte & Touche in Mozambique from 2000 to 2013. Trained as an auditor, she was previously with Ernst & Young in Maputo, Mozambique and owned and managed her own audit firm Sisteconta from 1987 to 1992. During these 27 years and whilst dealing with an extensive client portfolio, Paula developed a strong knowledge of the business environment in Mozambique including the public sector and international funding agencies.
Formally retired since January 2014, Paula is currently a member of the Fiscal Council of Mozabanco, Fellow of Aspen Global Leadership Network and is engaged in some projects in entrepreneurship development.
Paula is co-author of "Accounting System for the Private Sector in Mozambique" a didactic book published in 2014 providing guidance for application of IFRS in Mozambique. She is also co-author of five e-books on the Mozambican Tax System.
Triton’s Chairman, Christopher Catlow said:
“I am pleased to welcome Ms. Paula Ferreira as an independent Non-Executive Board member. Paula’s integrity, stature and professional experience within Mozambique will augment the existing skills of the Triton Board.”
The Company is rapidly advancing towards meeting its goals of achieving commercial production at its Mozambique graphite projects and establishing TMG as the global graphite-industry benchmark by aiming to offer the world's lowest cost and most diversified graphite product range.
Triton plans to have multiple operations within Mozambique, with production of TMG from Nicanda Hill, Ancuabe and Balama South, and an integrated enhanced graphite product joint venture.
Accordingly, Triton wishes to ensure that it integrates harmoniously within the Mozambique business community to build and maintain long term relationships, whilst achieving the objectives of Mozambique Government’s fiscal and mining regimes.
We are confident that the appointment of Paula as an independent Non-Executive director with her profile, experience and connections in Mozambique will assist Triton to integrate more effectively.
