Appointment of Experienced Mine Developer to Advance Hancock Iron Ore Project

 

Alien Metals (AIM: UFO), a company focused on the exploration and development
of the Hancock iron ore Project ("Hancock Project") and the Pinderi Hills
project in Western Australia, is pleased to welcome accomplished mine
developer, Nathan Douglas, as General Manager of Operations.

 

Overview

As part of the execution strategy, the Company has appointed the highly
experienced mine operator and developer, Nathan Douglas to bolster the project
and technical team. Nathan will be supported by the Company's advisory board
consisting of mining industry experts, including former Alien Metals
Non-Executive Chairman Alwyn Vorster (formerly Managing Director of BCI
Minerals Ltd as well as previously holding a senior management role at Rio
Tinto), to guide the Company on the various strategic options currently
available to Alien Metals.

 

·  Nathan is an accomplished mine developer and C-suite manager with over
25 years of experience in the exploration, mining, and construction
industries. Notably, Nathan has held senior executive and management roles for
the past 12 years, including CEO of a major West Australian industrial mineral
company, Leichardt Industrials Group, and Operational Manager at BCI Minerals
Limited (Iron Ore) and Dampier Salt Limited (Rio Tinto).

·  Nathan has proven results in large-scale acquisitions, delivery of
feasibility studies including environmental, native title, government
approvals and operational management, including technical and engineering of
both green and brownfield projects.

This appointment follows the recent key additions to the Alien Metals team,
including:

·   Technical Director, Mr. Rob Mosig, to the Board as a Non-Executive
Director, who brings significant expertise in exploration, development, and
strategic partnering and direct experience on the Company's PGM and base
metals project in the West Pilbara region.

·    The Company strengthened its exploration iron ore team with the
appointment of an iron ore expert from global mining consulting firm CSA
Global (now ERM). CSA Global has leading iron ore exploration and development
expertise, and recently played an important role in Fenix Resources Ltd's
(ASX: FEX) transformation from an iron ore explorer to a producer within 18
months.

Guy Robertson, Executive Director, commented:

"The appointment of Nathan Douglas as General Manager of Operations is a
welcome addition to the team at this key juncture when Alien Metals is focused
on progressing the development of the Hancock iron ore project and unlocking
the value of the Pinderi Hills PGM-Ni-Cu projects.

"We identified Nathan due to his expertise across the mining project
development lifecycle, with particular experience in mine development in iron
ore, and we look forward to his support in building long-term value for our
shareholders."
