Euro Manganese (EMN) will begin searching for a more permanent CEO to carry it through its next stage of development.

Current CEO and Founder Marco Romero will remain in the CEO position until a successor is identified and appointed.

“I have been looking for the right opportunity to make way for a new CEO for some time and have been working closely with the board to set the stage for a transition,” Mr Romero said.

“What we need now is to onboard a CEO who has the right credentials to build out our organisation and prepare us for life as an operating company at the heary of the European battery supply chain.”

Mr Romero has over 39 years of experience in the technical services, mining and construction industries.

He has held various leadership roles across exploration, mine planning, permitting and mine operations.

Furthermore, Mr Romero has co-founded several Canadian companies such as Delta Gold, Polaris Materials and Eldorado Gold.

“Marco has been an inspirational and capable leader for the company since 2015. He identified and secured the Chvaletice Manganese Project, set the company’s vision for the future and its high standards, and established a firm foundation for its growth,” Chairman John Webster commented.

“He also built an outstanding team, developed strategic customer relations, raised the necessary finance to get us through the development phases and set us on the path to success.”

Shares in Euro Manganese were up 1.74 per cent on the market and trading at 58.5 cents at 10:35 am AEST.
