The Board of Speciality Metals International Limited (ASX:SEI) (SEI or the Company) is pleased to announce the appointment of two new senior executives joining the SEI leadership team and supporting the Company's transformation from a junior exploration company towards an emerging and sustainable metals producer.

"Kim and Kevin bring a combined 50 years' professional experience including in the global resources and consulting engineering sectors. We are pleased we are able to secure their experience and expertise in business management, corporate governance, sustainable mining and mine waste transformation to lead the Company in this transition period", commented Zhui Pei Yeo, Non-Executive Director.

Ms Cavallaro will commence as Chief Commercial Officer (CCO) on 01 July 2020, or an earlier date should hand- over commitments in her current role conclude ahead of time. After a transitional period, expected to be around six months, she will assume the role of Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Managing Director of the Company.

Ms Cavallaro holds a Bachelor of Arts/Law (Hon) from the University of Queensland, a Graduate Diploma in Applied Corporate Governance from the Governance Institute of Australia and is a graduate member of the Australian Institute of Company Directors. She is a practicing lawyer, registered with the Queensland Law Society.

Ms Cavallaro's 20-year career spans roles at leading international law firms in Brisbane, Hong Kong and San Francisco, where she practiced corporate law specializing in mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, corporate finance and listed company transactions (including IPOs and rights issues) on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong (Main Board and GEM), Nasdaq and ASX. Most recently, Ms Cavallaro was the Head of Legal and Company Secretary, Australia-Asia for Hatch, a global consulting engineering and professional services firm with 9,000 staff in over 150 countries servicing the mining, infrastructure and energy sectors. In her 15 years at Hatch, she has advised on all aspects of governance and corporate risk, contract structuring, commercial negotiations and dispute resolution. She was a member of Hatch's Regional Leadership Team and Sustainability Committee.

Ms Cavallaro regularly presents at industry forums and guest lectures MBA students on topics around 'Design Thinking for Innovation and Improved Delivery', 'Positive Contracting' and 'Empowering Multi-disciplinary Teams'.

"Kim has a people-focused approach to problem-solving, embracing diversity of thought and collaboration", commented Stephen Layton, Non-Executive Director.

In her upcoming role as CCO, Ms Cavallaro will lead the Company's organizational transformational process including the development of governance and management frameworks to foster collaborative working relationships and stakeholder engagement. She will undertake the continuous alignment of the Company's commercial processes to support the targeted growth of the organization and its underlying business portfolio. Leveraging her expertise, she will provide oversight of the Company's corporate and legal affairs and also take on the development of a marketing and branding strategy to reflect the direction of the Company.

In her succeeding role as the Company's CEO and Managing Director, Ms Cavallaro will be accountable for the day- to-day operational performance of the Company and be focused on the Company achieving the longer-term strategic objectives and priorities of sustainable mining as jointly formulated with the Board.

Further information on Ms Cavallaro's remuneration package and key contractual terms is set out below.

Mr MacNeill assumes the role as the Company's Interim-CEO, where his main focus will be on the day-to-day operations, as well as an assessment of the Company's project portfolio and outlining a strategic roadmap for the Mt Carbine tungsten project and the NSW gold exploration activities. He holds a Bachelor of Tech Engineering in Mineral and Civil Technology from the University of Cape Breton, Canada.

Mr MacNeill's 30-year career has been dedicated to the development and operation of resource projects, from feasibility study stage to mining and minerals processing operations. He spent 17 years with Canadian Etruscan Resources, where from 2005-2010 he held the position of President of Etruscan Diamonds. He has held various other Managing Director appointments and also been part of discovery and development teams of various gold assets in Africa and North America.

In 2011, Mr MacNeill established an engineering consulting and project development company (Specialized Metallurgical Projects Pty Ltd), which in 2013 formed a partnership with CRONIMET Group, focusing on development and investment in metal recovery and mining waste processing projects. Under his leadership CRONIMET performed the due diligence for its joint venture interest in the Mt Carbine Retreatment Project. He is a Director of Zimbabwe Lithium, a company developing the Kamativi Lithium Tailings Project.

"Kevin knows the Mt Carbine Project from his previous due diligence work at CRONIMET. It is a pleasure for the Company and an endorsement for the project to have Kevin involved from here onwards. Kevin's entrepreneurial spirit and demonstrated achievements in the area of sustainable mining and mine waste transformation are an essential value addition to the Company's leadership team", commented Zhui Pei Yeo.

Further information on Mr MacNeill's remuneration package and key contractual terms is set out below.

The Board looks forward to updating the market about the Company's further strategic direction and operational performance around the Mt Carbine Tailings Retreatment and Quarrying operations.
