Stirling Resources managing director Marty Adams has been appointed as a non executive director of Swan Gold Mining.
He replaces Michael Kiernan who stepped down from the boards of Stirling Resources and Swan Gold in June.
Stirling Resources has a 29 per cent interest in Swan Gold, which in May shelved two gold projects slated to go into production in August because it believed the then proposed super profits tax prevented it from raising equity.
In June Stirling Resources also decided not to go ahead with a proposed recapitalisation of Swan Gold.
