Chalice Mining Limited ('Chalice' or 'the Company', ASX: CHN) advises the following changes to its Board of Directors.
Highly regarded mining and corporate finance executive Richard Hacker has agreed to join the Chalice Board and will seek election as a Non-Executive Director at the upcoming Annual General Meeting (AGM) on 21 November 2024.
Mr Hacker has been a key member of the Chalice executive team over the last 17 years, as Chief Financial Officer and GM Commercial and Strategy. He has also played a key role as executive or director in several other leading exploration and development companies, including Liontown Resources (ASX: LTR) and DevEx Resources (ASX: DEV). During his time at Chalice, the Company has evolved from a junior gold explorer to the developer of its 100%-owned Gonneville Critical Minerals Project, which has recently been awarded 'Major Project Status' and 'Strategic Project Status' by the Commonwealth and State Governments respectively. He has made a significant, career-spanning contribution to the Company. Mr Hacker will cease his executive role at Chalice prior to joining the Board. Independent Non-Executive Director Stephen McIntosh has decided not to stand for re-election at the 2024 AGM and will therefore step down from the Board at its conclusion. Mr McIntosh will be pursuing a significantly expanded business commitment from early 2025 that will limit his availability for other roles. Mr McIntosh has agreed to continue to advise the Company and remain on its Technical Committee.
Chalice Chair, Derek La Ferla, said: 'I am very pleased that Richard has decided to transition to the Board of Chalice at this important time in the development of the Gonneville Project. His significant experience in advancing projects through the development cycle will enable him to make a valuable contribution to the development of this tier-1 asset and to the progression of Chalice's broader strategy. 'I would like to thank Stephen for his significant contributions to the Company over the last 3.5 years, and in particular, his exceptional contributions to the Technical Committee. He has played an integral role in progressing the Gonneville Project to this point and I wish him well in his next endeavours.
I am grateful that we are retaining his unique skillset on the Technical Committee. 'The Board continues to evaluate its composition to ensure the Company has the right mix of skills to deliver on its strategy.'
