Daniel Jauncey

Mr Jauncey founded Matilda Earthmoving in 2000. This business was based in Toowoomba, Queensland and operated predominately in Southern Queensland and Northern New South Wales. In 2003, Mr Jauncey saw an opportunity in the resource sector to supply late model, low hour ancillary equipment on a rental basis. This alleviated a number of industry challenges and, as a result, Matilda Earthmoving was wound down and Matilda Equipment was formed. Over a 15 year period, he has expanded Matilda Equipment nationally and also established a branch operating in Papua New Guinea. In 2012, Matilda Equipment was recognised as one of the fastest growing companies in the country and was placed in the BRW Fast 100 Companies. In 2018, Matilda Equipment was sold to an ASX listed company. Mr Jauncey was instrumental in the acquisition of the key mining assets for Austral Resources in 2019. Since acquisition, he has been involved in all facets of Austral Resources, from day to day operations through to capital raising. He takes a holistic, hands on approach to business, regularly visiting sites and being involved with the team.He is Member of Risk Committee.
