With Mr Biancardi’s planned retirement, Mr Joe Kaderavek has agreed to assume the role of Chair from the conclusion of the AGM.
With the Company working towards a final investment decision on its Kwinana Cobalt Refinery, the Board will shortly commence the search for a new, technically strong Board member to replace Mr Biancardi as an Independent Non-Executive Director.
In addition, the Board is delighted to announce the appointment of Cobalt Blue’s Chief Executive Officer, Dr Andrew Tong, to the Board as Managing Director with immediate effect. The Board believes that Dr Tong’s comprehensive understanding of Cobalt Blue’s strategic, operational and visionary goals will ensure that he will continue to make a significant contribution to the Company at Board level.
