Wayne Bramwell OD6

OD6 freshens board of directors with new chairman

As part of a board of directors transition, OD6 Metals (ASX:OD6) has appointed Wayne Bramwell as the company’s non-executive Chairman. 

Bramwell, who is also the Managing Director of Westgold Resources (ASX:WGX), is an experienced mining executive with a background in metallurgy and mineral economics.

Meanwhile, founding Chairman Darren Holden will move to a non-executive director role and will remain as a geological advisor for OD6. 

Bramwell says he is looking forward to working with the board and management team to evaluate OD6’s next steps. 

“I am a firm believer in the long-term fundamentals of the critical minerals sector and have admired the progress that OD6 have made in advancing the Splinter Rock Project into one of the largest and highest grade clay-hosted rare earths deposits in Australia,” Bramwell says. 

Holden adds that it is time to hand over the reins to someone with the calibre of Wayne to assist in navigating the company’s path to growth. 

“OD6 is delighted to gain the expertise of a mining executive of the calibre of Wayne Bramwell and I’m excited to have the opportunity to work with him,” Holden says. 

“It has been my great pleasure to serve OD6 over the past two years as Chairman from pre-IPO to the discovery, drill out and technical studies at the Splinter Rock Rare Earth Project.”

OD6 Metals is an Australian critical minerals-focused explorer and developer that wholly owns the Splinter Rock and Grass Patch projects in Western Australia.
