PERTH (miningweekly.com) – Vanadium developer Australian Vanadium has announced the retirement of MD Vincent Algar on July 14.
“Algar’s retirement completes the management transition which began with the appointment of Graham Arvidson as CEO. The changes we have made to the board and the management transition are integral to ensuring we have the skills and experience in place across the company for the construction and operation of the project under the CEO’s leadership,” said chairperson Cliff Lawrenson this week.
Algar will continue in a transitional role for the next few months, the company said.
“Since joining Australian Vanadium nearly nine years ago, the company’s focus has been on successfully advancing the project through the resource development and feasibility phases and developing downstream opportunities,” Algar said.
“We have defined a robust project and assembled a team with deep expertise across the vanadium industry value chain. I am very proud of our achievements and excited by the bright future of Australian Vanadium as an integral part of a successful vanadium industry in Western Australia. I look forward to finalising the leadership transition over the next few months as Graham and the team continue the Australian Vanadium journey.”
