Solis Minerals (ASX:SLM) has appointed Michael Parker as Executive Director following his stewardship of the company as non-executive director since December 2021.
The appointment comes amid news that Matt Boyes has tendered his resignation as director and officer, effective 30 August 2024.
Parker will be responsible for the operation of Solis’ exploration business in Latin America.
A geologist by training, Parker has been a member of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy (AUSIMM) for 16 years. He has extensive experience in exploration and project development, overseeing projects from discovery through construction and production.
Solis Minerals, which has a market capitalisation of $8.52 million, says it is focused on pursuing copper exploration targets in the “highly prospective” and emerging Peruvian coastal belt.
“Over the last two years, Mike has led the team in Peru that has grown and matured the portfolio into targets that will be drilled later this year and into 2025,” the company says.
“He will continue to provide valuable input as the company continues to pursue its growth strategy.”
The company is an emerging lithium and copper explorer focused on unlocking the potential of its South American critical minerals portfolio. The company currently holds 47 exploration concessions, totalling 37,100 hectares.
