Alligator Energy (ASX:AGE) has appointed current COO Andrea Marsland-Smith as its next CEO to replace Greg Hall following his decision to step back as the company transitions from an explorer to emerging uranium producer.
Hall indicated a desire to transition away from the CEO role “some time ago” to hand the baton to a new CEO to lead the company through its next growth phase and implementation of key milestones.
Marsland-Smith will take over the role on 1 July 2025 as the company enters its next growth phase by implementing these milestones.
Hall will remain with the company in a new part-time role of Executive Director – Marketing and Investor Relations.
Marsland-Smith holds a PhD in Economic Geology from the University of Western Australia and has cultivated over 25 years of experience in the uranium sector.
Spending 15 years at Heathgate Resources, Marsland-Smith was on the executive management team, where she contributed to the Beverley/Beverley North and Four Mile in-situ recovery uranium projects in South Australia.
Leadership roles in this position include Head of Geology, Head of Regulatory and Compliance, Head of Operations, and Head of Government Relations and Indigenous Affairs.
Outgoing CEO Greg Hall says Marsland-Smith is the right person to lead the company through this transition.
“I firmly believe in the prospects of the company and its key Samphire project, but it is the right time in my life and for the company for a new CEO who will lead Alligator into production,” Hall says.
Chairman Paul Dickson says Hall has been CEO since 2018, taking Alligator from a small, dedicated Arnhemland explorer to a company advancing the next ISR uranium project in Australia.
Alligator Energy is a uranium and energy metals project developer and explorer, focusing on the development of uranium production in South Australia and the Northern Territory.
