Energy Fuels Inc. (TSE:EFR) announced it has appointed Mark Chalmers as chief operating officer.
Chalmers will join the management team in July, overseeing all of the company's conventional and in situ recovery (ISR) uranium production operations.
He is the previous executive general manager of production for Paladin Energy Ltd and possesses extensive experience in ISR and conventional uranium production, the company said.
Chalmers has also consulted to several of the largest players in the uranium supply sector, including BHP Billiton, Rio Tinto and Marubeni, and currently serves as the chair of the Australian Uranium Council.
Stephen Antony, president and chief executive officer of Energy Fuels, said: “As a recognized leader in the global uranium industry, Mark has played major roles in developing and operating several successful mining operations throughout his career,"
“He is a recognized spokesperson for the uranium and nuclear energy industries, who has created shareholder value in both the conventional and ISR uranium mining sectors, and he is one of the few individuals who has extensive experience in both extraction methods,” he added.
Chalmers is also expected to represent an important element in the company’s management continuity and succession planning strategy.
