West Perth-based gold exploration company Central Asia Resources Ltd has appointed Jason Stirbinskis as its new chief executive.
Originally a geologist, Mr Stirbinskis has worked in the resources and finance sectors from greenfield mining operations to IT/telecommunication and finance industry projects.
Mr Stirbinskis has an MBA and substantial experience in banking and finance where he project managed the delivery of several multi-million dollar projects including the launch of BankWest Retail on the east coast of Australia.
He has also consulted to Deutsche Bank, MLHSBC and St George Bank.
