Canadian exploration and development company Defense Metals has appointed Australian Mark Tory as its new CEO, effective January 1.

Tory will relocate to Vancouver to lead the company's efforts to advance the Wicheeda rare earth project in British Columbia.

Tory brings extensive leadership experience to the role, having previously served as CFO and later CEO at Australia’s Northern Minerals, where he oversaw the development of the Browns Range rare earth project.

His career also includes roles as MD of Crescent Gold, following his tenure as CFO and company secretary.

"I am extremely excited at having Mark as our CEO. His career speaks for itself, but what is important to the board, and myself in particular, is his integrity, leadership, and knowledge of the rare earths sector," said Guy de Selliers, executive chairperson of Defense Metals.

“Mark is also a company builder, which is exactly what we need. Being able to attract somebody of Mark's calibre, together with the strong interest we had from several other highly qualified CEO candidates, is another confirmation of the quality of our Wicheeda project."

De Selliers had been serving as acting CEO since August, following the immediate resignation of Craig Taylor.
