Appointment of Chief Operating Officer
Orion Minerals Limited (ASX/JSE: ORN) (Orion or the Company) is pleased to announce the appointment of highly
experienced international mining executive Kevin Moxham as Chief Operating Officer (COO).
The appointment, which is effective from 10 February 2025, comes at a pivotal time for Orion as it nears completion of the
Definitive Feasibility Studies for its two emerging production hubs in South Africa's Northern Cape region and prepares to
make the transition from explorer to mine developer.
Mr Moxham is a Registered Professional Engineer with 40 years experience in mining, engineering and project
management and a strong track record leading the successful modernisation and mechanisation of mines in South Africa
and developing several large-scale greenfield projects (both open pit and underground) in challenging political,
technical and socio-economic environments across Africa.
Kevin has extensive experience in the management of base metal mining operations, particularly in the development,
construction and operational ramp-up of new mines, implementing modern best practice and driving operational
excellence, whilst maintaining an exceptional health and safety record.
Kevin has a keen interest in implementing appropriate technology, developing and implementing processes and systems,
and driving a culture of continuous improvement at the operations under his responsibility.
During his career, Kevin has played important roles in the delivery of several large mines across Africa, including Executive
General Manager at the Bisha Mining Share Company, a VMS mine in Eritrea and as Executive General Manager at the
Khoemacau Copper Mine in neighbouring Botswana, both of which were completed safely, on time and within budget.
These mines employed several of the mining and metallurgical practices that are being planned for Orion's Prieska and
Okiep Mines.
Orion's Managing Director and CEO, Errol Smart, commented:
"We are excited to have Kevin join the Orion team as we move into the mine development phase. With the completion
of the Feasibility Studies for both PCZM and Okiep imminent, we need to ensure we have the right people in place to
deliver on the construction and operational ramp-up of both projects. We are confident that Kevin's extensive experience
will make a significant contribution in delivering both projects on time and on budget, enabling Orion to create value for
all stakeholders."
Orion's newly appointed COO, Kevin Moxham, commented:
"Orion's intended development of both PCZM and Okiep present a wonderful opportunity to deliver modern and highly
efficient mechanised underground mines. These developments will draw on my combined experiences in mine
development at Bisha and Khoemacau. I am looking forward to applying my experience derived from working in remote
destinations where we developed local recruits into top-class mine operational teams. I see PCZM and Okiep as an ideal
opportunity to apply this strategy at home in South Africa."
For and on behalf of the Board.
