Globe Metals & Mining (ASX:GBE) has appointed Joseph Mkandawire as a non-executive director of its subsidiary Globe Metals & Mining Africa, based in Lilongwe, Malawi.
Mkandawire retired in June 2025 after spending 35 years with the Government of Malawi’s public service where he served as Principal Secretary in the Ministry of Mining, after originally establishing the department.
Under Mkandawire’s tenure, the Ministry was structured and implemented key reforms to align Malawi’s mining sector with national development goals as outlined in Malawi Vision 2063.
CEO Charles Altshuler says Mkandawire’s appointment underscores the company’s commitment to establishing Globe as a trusted development partner in Malawi.
“His leadership and insights are instrumental as we advance the Kanyika Niobium Project into development,” Altshuler says.
“With his guidance, we are better positioned to align with national development goals and unlock the project’s full potential for Malawi.”
Globe Metals & Mining is an emerging vertically-integrated niobium producer focused on resources in Malawi.
