Ionic Rare Earths (IXR) has appointed Tim Harrison as Managing Director, effective immediately.

Mr Harrison has been the company CEO since June this year after only joining the company in February as Project Manager of the Makuutu Rare Earths Project.

In a short time, the new MD has led the substantial upgrade of Makuutu’s mineral resource estimate, the completion of a 4000-metre drilling program, the application and grant of two exploration licences and the renewal of a retention licence — all during COVID-19.

IXR Chairman, Tony Rovira, says Tim has been a driving force within the company.

“Since taking on the position of CEO role in June, Tim has done an outstanding job of advancing the Makuutu Rare Earths Project and has rapidly taken the project to the next level,” Tony said.

Before joining Ionic Rare Earths, Tim was a manager for ASX-lister Clean TeQ’s (CLQ) Sunrise nickel-cobalt-scandium project, where he managed the developmental process of the project.

Tim’s services are provided as part of a professional services deal between Horizon Metallurgy Proprietary and IXR.

IXR ended the day up 5.56 per cent with shares trading at 1.9 cents.
