COMPANY SECRETARY
Permanent, Full-Time Position
Location: West Perth
About Forrestania Resources
Forrestania Resources (ASX: FRS) is a fast advancing Western Australian gold company moving rapidly from exploration to near term production. In 2025, the Company consolidated a substantial, gold portfolio of projects across Southern Cross, Westonia, Bonnie Vale and the Eastern Goldfields, strengthened further by the proposed acquisition of Kula Gold and its Mt Palmer and Southern Cross assets.
The Company has also taken a major step toward production with the acquisition of the Lake Johnston processing plant, providing a clear, low-capex pathway to potential first gold production as early as 2026. Backed by a revitalised and highly experienced Board, Forrestania Resources is building a scalable, profitable gold business through diligent exploration, strategic acquisitions and strong technical execution to deliver value to shareholders.
With active exploration underway and mining targeted for 2026, the Company has a market capitalisation of circa $130 million and on an upward trajectory. To support this dynamic phase of growth and development, Forrestania is seeking an experienced Company Secretary to strengthen corporate governance and collaborate with the Board and Senior Leadership Team in achieving company goals.
