Terra Metals (ASX:TM1) has announced several new appointments to strengthen the company’s leadership team as it advances the Dante Project in Western Australia’s West Musgrave region towards resource growth and development.
Ben Hammond has been named chief development officer and brings over 22 years of experience, with previous roles spanning mine operations, project development, and corporate leadership.
Hammond was most recently technical director at WSP Global (TSX:WSP), where he worked in an advisory role on project finance, acquisition technical due diligence, and mine development.
Barry Jones has also been appointed as general manager – exploration and operations. Jones has over 25 years of experience in international exploration, with work spanning from greenfields discovery through to mineral resource definition.
Jones is recognised as a leading expert in layered mafic platinum group element-copper-nickel (PGE-Cu-Ni) systems, with nine years leading exploration on South Africa’s Bushveld Complex for Anglo American Platinum, now Valterra Platinum (JSE:VAL).
Speaking on these appointments, CEO Thomas Line says that both Hammond and Jones bring complementary skills to Terra’s leadership team.
“Ben’s project development and financing experience, together with Barry’s internationally recognised expertise in layered mafic PGE-Cu-Ni systems, position the company well as we continue to grow the Dante Mineral Resource and advance the project towards development.”
Terra Metals is a critical minerals exploration company advancing the Dante Project, a Bushveld-style layered mafic intrusion in the West Musgrave region of Western Australia.
