Group 6 Metals (G6M) has appointed its CEO Keith McKnight as Managing Director, effective immediately.
Mr McKnight has been the CEO since January 2022 and will continue in that capacity as well.
Additionally, Chairman Johann Jacobs has renounced his executive role with the company and will continue to serve as Non-Executive Chairman.
Commenting on Mr McKnight’s appointment, Mr Jacobs said it recognises the contribution he is making to the strategic and operational direction of the company.
“Keith has led the Group 6 Metals business in an outstanding manner since he joined the Company in January 2022,” he said.
“I look forward to working alongside him at board level whilst he transitions the company into a tungsten producer.”
In June, the company confirmed it was on target to produce its first concentrate from its Dolphin tungsten mine in Tasmania in Q1 2023.
The company had ramped up construction activities in line with its schedule despite a challenging construction environment, most recently completing the earthworks and commencing civil works required to support the process plant at the mine.
