Jarden is pleased to announce that Adam Reid will join as Managing Director and Head of Resources, marking the firm’s expansion into resources sector advisory coverage. Jarden has also appointed Clarence Fok (Director), Kevin Tian (Vice President) and Samuel Potts (Analyst) to form a dedicated resources advisory team.
With mining dominating Australian deal flow- 122 transactions amounting to USD 15.4bn in 2025*- and a buoyant M&A outlook, the addition of this dedicated team positions Jarden to capture significant growth opportunities from small-cap through to large-cap companies.
Aidan Allen, Executive Chair at Jarden, said: "These appointments strengthen our resources capabilities as we continue to assemble top talent to deliver for our clients. Their deep expertise in complex transactions and strong relationships across Australia's resources sector will be invaluable to the firm."
With over 25 years' experience in investment banking, Adam is one of Australia's most respected resources dealmakers. Since 2021, he has advised on over USD 7 billion in major M&A and equity capital markets transactions, including Gold Road Resources' AUD 3.8bn sale to Gold Fields (the 6th largest M&A transaction of 2025*), Newcrest Mining's acquisition of Pretivm, Evolution Mining's acquisition of Ernest Henry Mine from Glencore, and Gold Road's acquisition of DGO Gold.
Adam joins from Gresham Advisory Partners, where he has been instrumental in building their resources franchise. Prior to Gresham, Adam was Head of Australia Metals & Mining at Credit Suisse and previously held the role of Managing Director and Head of the Global Mining & Metals Group in Australia at RBC Capital Markets.
The team will be based in Sydney and complement Jarden's Perth-based research team led by Ben Lyons covering the resources sector. Jarden has also recently built out its small-caps research coverage to strengthen its ability to cover companies across the market capitalisation spectrum.
Jarden's recent advisory work includes major transactions with ASX 100 and NZX 50 companies including the Fonterra Consumer | Lactalis divestment, Light & Wonder's Grover acquisition, Potentia's Micromine sale, the Stockland/EdgeConneX data centre joint venture, and Spark's data centre divestment to PEP. The firm has also led significant capital markets transactions including equity raisings for Ryman Healthcare, Precinct Properties and SkyCity Entertainment, as well as the ASX listing transition for Light & Wonder.
