Anthony Kain

Non Executive Director

Anthony spent 15 years as an executive in the oil and gas industry before his current role as a private investor and special counsel focused on the Mining and Oil & Gas consulting to law firm Talbot Olivier. He has played and continues to play a key role in the formation and development of numerous privately owned and publicly listed companies working in the resources sector with his most recent focus on the development of resource assets in Mongolia. His experience includes national and international capital raising, joint ventures and mergers and acquisitions through his exposure to a diverse range of development opportunities, working with technical teams primarily in the energy, energy equipment and resources sector throughout the Asia-Pacific, Europe, Canada and the USA.
In the late 1990’s Mr Kain and a partner formed NorthSun Energy Ltd and a team which included an AGIP Vice President and the former Exploration Manager who discovered the North Rankin and Goodwyn fields that underpin the NorthWest Gas Shelf project for Woodside. The company business plan was the acquisition of gas assets that had not been developed to their full potential and NorthSun focused on a niche play targeting assets in the Po Valley Northern Italy. A major part of the 30 trillion cubic feet of gas discovered in Italy was discovered in the Po Valley and when Italy joined the EEC, strict new rules governing monopolies led to change and movement in the Po Valley. NorthSun emerged from this change with a strategic position and Mr Kain was one of the key executives involved day to day in running the company until it was ultimately rolled into Po Valley Energy in 2002 (ASX listed “PVE”).
From 2004 through to 2008 Anthony was Managing Director and CEO of ASX listed oil and gas company Nuenco NL and presided over the acquisition and development of a US acreage position in California to capitalize on high US Natural Gas prices at the time. The company focused on the extension of the major Lost Hills Oil Field in California’s San Joaquin Basin drilling multiple wells while also building one of the largest acreage positions of any foreign company in the Basin at that time.
