Helix Resources Ltd (ASX:HLX) has appointed seasoned director and corporate finance executive Emmanuel Correia as a non-executive director, effective November 1, 2023, as part of the company's board and management transition plan, first announced in September.
The transition plan was initiated in response to the retirement of Helix non-executive chair Peter Lester from the board on the same date to ensure continuity of key stakeholder relationships as well as to bolster the company’s position to make new copper discoveries in the Cobar-Nyngan area of central New South Wales.
