Dual-listed Altus Strategies has appointed Alister Hume business development manager, with immediate effect.

Altus says he will play an integral role for the company in evaluating and progressing the growing number of potential royalty and project transactions under review.

His appointment follows the recent investment of about £6.5-million by La Mancha Holding, which now owns 35.45% of Altus. The strategic investment by La Mancha has significantly strengthened the company’s financial position and is enabling it to accelerate its growth plans.

Hume is an experienced investment and business development manager with over a decade of expertise working in private equity and capital markets in the natural resources industry.

He has gained international exposure through his roles at Morgans, The Sentient Group and KoBold Metals.

He previously held board positions for East Africa Copper and Meridian Mining and holds a BCom (Finance and Accounting) from Sydney University.
