Mr Martin Kavanagh
Executive Director

Mr Kavanagh is a geologist with 40 years extensive experience acquired through fieldwork, research and management of Australia-wide and offshore programmes. He has worked widely within the exploration and mining industry in Australia and offshore in Indonesia, North America, the Southwest Pacific region and southern Africa. He also has 15 years corporate experience as a director of ASX listed companies.

Martin is a graduate of London University (BSc Honours Geology) arriving in Australia in 1970. He worked for International Nickel in Kalgoorlie for 7 years before joining Anaconda Australia Inc in 1977 working initially as a nickel geologist before moving into gold. During that time he also worked as an underground mine geologist at the Mt Edwards and Red Ross nickel mines at Widgiemooltha and at the Carr Fork copper-lead-zinc mine in Utah.
 

In 1985 US Oil Company Atlantic Richfield the owner of Anaconda Copper decided to sell Anaconda with exploration assets being offered to employees. Martin together with four remaining Anaconda Australia geologists including Peter Walker and Bill Turner bought ‘Anaconda Australia’ and ultimately merged the assets with Dominion Oil and Gas to form Dominion Mining Ltd. Over a five year period Dominion was built up to become Australia’s third largest gold producer peaking at 430,000 ozs annual production in 1993. Martin was General Manager Exploration for Dominion. His roles also included Project Manager mine development, Operations Manager and Chief Mine Geologist.
Martin left Dominion in 1994 setting up a consulting business which led to him joining Tanami Gold NL as Exploration Director in 1995 with a focus on the WA-NT Tanami-Arunta Province. Over a 10 year period Tanami became a pre-eminent Junior Explorer in the Province acquiring extensive tenement holdings ultimately leading to Tanami’s acquisition of the Coyote Gold Deposit. Martin also had the responsibility of marketing the ‘uranium potential’ of Tanami’s Northern Territory tenements which resulted in a deal with Deep Yellow being signed. Martin joined the Deep Yellow board in October 2005.
 

As Executive Director of Deep Yellow Martin’s principal role has been to head up Australian operations and to provide technical support for the Namibian operations as required. Prior to joining Deep Yellow Martin’s uranium experience was gained through project work for International Nickel in the 1970’s and Anaconda and Dominion in the 1980’s.
 

Mr Kavanagh joined the Deep Yellow Board in October 2005.
