Hawsons Iron (ASX:HIO) has appointed Meredith Campion as a non-executive director of the company as of 1 December following Tony McGrady’s retirement.
Campion was a founding partner of law firm Allen & Overy’s Perth office, before its merger with Shearman & Sterling in May 2024 forming Allen Overy Shearman Sterling.
She has experience across corporate, commercial, energy, and resources law, advising on a number of commercial transactions, such as takeovers, mergers, acquisitions, disposals, capital raisings, and joint ventures.
Campion has also conducted compliance and due diligence programs across these areas.
Non-executive Chairman Jeremy Kirkwood says with extensive legal and corporate experience in the resources sector, Campion joins the team “with a breadth of skills which will be invaluable as the company continues to develop the Hawsons Iron Project”.
“Tony has been steadfast through a period of significant change in the project and the company during his three years on the board,” Kirkwood says.
“We wish to thank him sincerely for his guidance and valuable insights particularly in regard to government-related matters.”
Hawsons CEO Tom Revy is also broadening his title to include Managing Director as of today (25 November). The company says the terms of this appointment are the same as being CEO.
The company is working to extend its metallurgical testwork stream at the namesake project in Broken Hill, New South Wales, after completing the first phase of a CSIRO research program that indicated hematite and quartz to dominate tailings samples.
Phase one returned a magnetite level of 1% or less in samples through x-ray diffraction, as reported by Mining.com.au.
Hawsons Iron is focused on advancing green steel production to meet the International Finance Corporation Performance Standards.
