Anax Metals appoints Danny George as new COO
Anax Metals (ASX:ANX) announced the immediate appointment of Danny George as COO, marking a step forward for the development of its flagship Whim Creek Copper Project.
Located 120km southwest of Port Hedland in Western Australia’s Pilbara region, the project is an 80:20 joint venture between Anax Metals and Develop Global (ASX:DVP).
George joins the executive team at a critical juncture as the company aggressively transitions the asset from the feasibility stage into active construction, commissioning, and operations.
Bringing over 20 years of international project delivery experience, George has a proven track record across copper, iron ore, and critical minerals.
His extensive background includes executive roles within the North American critical minerals sector and leading major EPC and EPCM programmes.
He oversaw a greenfield copper processing complex in Kazakhstan that now delivers over 200,000 tonnes per annum of copper output.
The leadership milestone coincides with major funding progress, as Anax has received indicative offers for up to US$40 million in debt funding to finance its 80% interest in Whim Creek.
Site visits and independent technical expert appointments are currently underway to finalise the financing package.
Furthermore, the company’s technical and exploration capabilities have been bolstered by the recent appointment of highly regarded geologist Nick Jolly as a non-executive director.
Jolly will oversee upcoming exploration programmes aimed at targeting multiple underexplored zones and following up historical drill results across the broader Whim Creek tenure.
