Board of Directors

Mr Stephen Williams Non-Executive Chairman

Stephen was appointed Chairman of Axiom Mining in July 2010. Since then, he has overseen the implementation of best practice in corporate governance and has also ensured that the expertise of the Board has been channelled to the appropriate areas of the business. He has played an integral role overseeing our recent business development in the Solomon Islands and is also Chairman of Axiom KB Limited – Axiom Mining’s 80%-owned subsidiary company in the Solomon Islands.

Stephen is a corporate lawyer by profession and is an experienced director and chairman of public companies from IPO through to maturity. He is also currently a Non-Executive Director of Prime Ag Australia Limited.

Mr Ryan Mount Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director

Ryan joined the Axiom Mining Board as a Director in April 2009. Following his appointment, he led the crucial restructure of the company – an exercise that saw Axiom Mining gain full control of our assets, define a clear strategic direction, appoint new Board and management team members and establish a new head office. This turnaround allowed Axiom to re-list on the ASX in December 2009 as a properly capitalised and fully operational company.

In mid-2010, Ryan accepted the Board’s offer of the CEO position. Since his appointment, Ryan has been relentless in driving and refining Axiom Mining’s operations, and as a result, key components of the business plan have been achieved ahead of schedule and clear operational targets have been established. Ryan has also played an integral role in securing the Isabel nickel deposit in the Solomon Islands and he is also the CEO and a Director of Axiom KB Limited.

Ryan has an extensive background in Australian and international financial markets, as well as corporate advisory.
