Equinox Resources Limited has hired Jiahe Gower as its new CEO.

An alumnus of Curtin University, Gower comes with more than two decades of experience in the resources sector. He succeeded Daniel Taylor, who resigned as the company’s Managing Director and CEO in May 2022.

Earlier, Gower worked with Red Dirt Metals (RDT) and Mitsui & Co in senior positions.

At Mitsui, he was responsible for international marketing, business development and M & A opportunities in metals, minerals and energy renewables. At Red Dirt Metals, he oversaw corporate strategy development, marketing, offtakes and M&A.

"The appointment of a highly experienced executive such as Gower as Chief Executive Officer will allow us to continue to work towards our strategic plans of developing our world class Hamersley iron ore assets and to work in parallel on the exploration of our recently secured Canadian exploration areas,” said Equinox Chairman Robert Martin.
