Copper-focused 29Metals has recruited James Palmer as new CEO, replacing Peter Albert who will retire on April 30.

Palmer has more than 25 years’ experience across operational, technical, strategy and business development roles. He is joining 29Metals from BHP, where he has spent the past 20 years in various leadership roles, most recently as BHP’s Group performance and improvement officer.

“James impressed us with his drive and energy, his deep operational and business improvement experience, and his track record of operational transformation and stakeholder engagement,” said chairperson Owen Hegarty.

Commenting on his appointment, Palmer said:  “It is a privilege to be entrusted to lead 29Metals as its next CEO. The opportunity to take 29Metals forward to realise its vision - to be a leading ASX-listed copper-focused company, offering investors exposure to copper and other metals critical to the global energy transition - is compelling.”

ASX-listed 29Metals has two long-life, producing assets, including Golden Grove in Western Australia, and Capricorn Copper, in Queensland.
