European Metals Holdings Ltd (AIM:EMH, ASX:EMH, OTCQX:EMHLF), the mining group, revealed that industry veteran Merrill Gray has started in her role as a non-executive director on Wednesday.
Gray was appointed to the group’s board back in April, but has started in the role today, looking to bring her expertise in critical minerals and hydrogen to the company.
Across more than a 30-year career, the mining expert has helped oversee capital raises totalling A$20 million through both private equity and public markets.
She also brings experience having worked in roles such as chief executive and managing director.
Gray also brings experience in completing deals with large companies such as Mercedes Benz and Siemens.
Hailing from Australia, having both studied there and worked predominantly with Australian companies, the appointment of Grey highlights European Metals’ shift away from the northern hemisphere.
Last month, shares in European Metals surged after it confirmed it was moving ahead with its switch to become an Australian-based company.
EMH said it would continue to be listed on AIM but as an Aussie company rather than one from the British Virgin Islands.
