David Sproule
B. Eng. (Met) (Hons), Member AusIMM
Non-executive Chairman
|

 |

David
Sproule founded Polymetals and has over twenty five years of
experience in the mining industry encompassing project generation
and assessment, development, operational management and corporate
experience.
In 1986, during his final year at the Western Australian School
of Mines, David registered Meerschaum Gold which subsequently
became Polymetals. Whilst overseas as a recipient of an inaugural
bursary offered to two Australian graduates by the West German
company Metallgesellschaft AG, David consolidated his view that
there was enormous opportunity within the Australian resources
industry for a young entrepreneur.
Returning to Australia, David spent his early years contracting
his services on process plant construction moving to minority
equity/ joint venture interests and management of various gold
projects within the Eastern Goldfields of Western Australia.
Following several years contracting in Tanzania he raised $600,000
from family and friends to purchase the Mt Boppy plant and tenements,
the platform used to develop Polymetals’ first wholly-owned
operation re-treating a silver/gold tailing transported to the
site.
A Metallurgical Engineer, David was Managing Director until
December 2007 when he was appointed Chairman. David is the principal
shareholder of Polymetals Mining Limited.
