Rex Minerals Ltd. announced the next step in its development of the Hillside Copper Project in South Australia. Ron Douglas has on 21 April 2022 stepped down as a Director of Rex so that he can focus on a critical role in the development of the Hillside Copper-Gold Project on the Yorke Peninsula, South Australia. Consistent with the recent appointment of Ausenco (as announced on 8 March 2022), Mr. Douglas has been appointed as Rex's representative to drive the engineering, procurement and construction services for the process plant and associated infrastructure at Hillside.

Douglas has strong operational performance and capital development experience within the mining and oil & gas sectors in Australia, United Kingdom, USA, South East Asia and Africa. His experience leading owners' teams for major projects located around the world is significant, and he is highly regarded by Rex as well as the broader resources industry.
