European Metals Holdings Ltd (AIM:EMH, ASX:EMH, OTCQX:EMHLF), the mining group, revealed that industry veteran Merrill Gray started in her role as a non-executive director.
Gray was appointed last in April but formally started in the role on Wednesday, looking to bring her expertise in critical minerals and hydrogen to the company.
Across a 30-year career, the mining expert has helped oversee capital raises totalling A$20 million through both private equity and public markets.
Gray has worked in roles such as chief executive and managing director. And she also has a track record for completing deals with large companies, including tie-ups with Mercedes Benz and Siemens.
Hailing from Australia, having both studied there and worked predominantly with Australian companies, the appointment of Grey highlights European Metals’ shift away from the northern hemisphere.
Last month, shares in European Metals surged after it confirmed it was moving ahead with its switch to become an Australia-based company.
