Leo Lithium appoints COO
PERTH (miningweekly.com) – Africa-focused lithium developer Leo Lithium has appointed Tim Richards as COO, effective from late January 2023.
“We are thrilled to welcome Richards to the team as we continue to progress the development of our world class Goulamina lithium project. Richards brings strong operational experience in West Africa and extensive technical expertise,” said Leo Lithium MD Simon Hay.
“With his skills and experience, we are confident Richards will contribute meaningfully to the success of Leo. The timing of Richard's commencement is ideal as we look to bring forward revenue with the direct shipping ore (DSO) opportunity to be actively pursued in 2023.
Richards is a mining engineering professional with more than 20 years of mining experience across a full range of asset development and operations, and has significant experience in West Africa, having worked for several years across multiple projects in Ghana and Mauritania, as well as in South Africa.
Richards has resigned from his current role as CEO of Geopacific Resources, and will start with Leo Lithium in late January, with an initial focus on developing the operations team, operational readiness and firming up plans for DSO production in 2023.
