Trigg Minerals (ASX:TMG) has appointed Graf Global CEO James Graf as a non-executive Director ahead of the company’s listing in the US.
Based in the US, Graf has over 35 years of international experience, focusing on capital markets, mergers and acquisitions, and corporate management.
Graf has served as the Managing Director at Merrill Lynch and President of Deutsche Bank’s investment bank in Hong Kong, also playing a key role in several special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) transactions with a multibillion dollar value.
In particular, Graf will assist Trigg as it advances plans for a mainboard listing in the US. Trigg will leverage his cross-border experience in banking and SPACs, including resources transactions and Australian deals, to sharpen its execution strategy and build strong engagement with US investors.
Previous SPAC transactions include Global Eagle Entertainment and NKGen Biotech, where he currently acts as interim CFO.
trigg Chairman Timothy Morrison says Graf brings “unparalleled” experience in executing listing transactions that will drive the company through its next stage of growth and development.
“Securing a board member of James’ calibre is the next step in the development of a vital supply of critical minerals for the US domestic critical minerals market,” Morrison says.
“Antimony Canyon Project is a globally unique asset and the addition of James to the team is an exciting step in the development of Trigg Minerals.”
Trigg will issue Graf 10 million performance rights after obtaining an Australian Director Identification Number and following his appointment.
Trigg Minerals is an antimony explorer, focused on developing its two projects in Australia and the US.
