Biography
[edit | edit source]Creasy arrived in Australia in the 1960s, and trained as a mining engineer.[1][2]
He has developed various mining projects in Western Australia and other states.[3][4][5] By 2010 his net worth was claimed to be $283 million (AU).[6]
Creasy had discovered the Bronzewing Gold Mine, and had sold the mine in the 1990s. By the early 2000s he had had a ten-year-long legal battle over Bronzewing South tenements with rival Leith Beal.[7][8]
Many journalists fall back on terms such as Midas,[9] and prospector,[10] when describing Creasy's wealth and achievement in finding and investing in resources.[11][12] Creasy pledged A$500,000 towards the construction of a statue called Ascalon in Cathedral Square, Perth,[13][14] and also contributed towards floating rocks in fountains in Forrest Place and the Carlisle operations of the Department of Mines Industry Regulation and Safety.[citation needed]
At the age of 74 in 2018, Creasy made claims of not retiring,[15] but reducing investments and activities.[16][17] He also has been identified as being very private, despite occasional insights from newspaper articles[18][19] and avoiding media exposure, despite the very public controversies around The Cliffe.[20] Creasy has also supported publication of historical materials about Western Australian history.[21]
Creasy has stakes in between 40-50 listed companies, most of which are junior explorers.[22]
