Resource Mining Corporation Ltd (ASX:RMI) has strengthened its board with the appointment of Noel O’Brien as a non-executive technical director, effective today.
The nickel exploration company hired the highly experienced metallurgist and company executive to leverage his broad experience across a distinguished career, including a depth of technical knowledge across metallurgy, processing strategy and analysis.
Exploration advisory experience
O’Brien has been a non-executive director of Galileo Mining Ltd (ASX:GAL) since December 2017, and during his tenure the company’s market capitalisation has increased tenfold.
He also holds a number of advisory roles across other listed and unlisted exploration and mining companies.
“Having been actively involved in exploration and mining for over 40 years, I am very excited to be involved across the company’s project portfolio and help recognise the shareholder value that the projects offer and see potential for each one to yield high-grade discoveries as we progress,” O’Brien said.
Resource Mining Corporation’s executive chairman Asimwe Kabunga added: “I am excited to invite Noel O’Brien to the board of RMC as he brings a wealth of technical and management experience, including in regions of interest to the company such as Africa.
“With our recent capital raising completed and with Mr O’Brien’s technical expertise on board we look forward to seeing positive results from our recently commenced exploration activities at Kabulanywele, continuing to progress due diligence on the nickel and lithium projects in Finland, and completing the ‘Massive Nickel’ Tanzanian project portfolio acquisition.”
Farewell to Livingstone
On a separate note, Jason Livingstone, a non-executive director, has resigned, but will continue to work with the company as a consultant geologist for the foreseeable future. The company thanked Livingstone for his continued service.
