Power Minerals’ (PNN) executive director has been appointed Managing Director.

The company said Mena Habib’s appointment is in recognition of the pivotal role he has played in the growth of the company since his appointment as executive in January 2022.

The key terms of the agreement include a salary increase from $200,000 to $240,000 per annum and eligibility to join the company’s employee share scheme, once finalised.

Meanwhile, former Lake Resources (LKE) Technical Director, Dr Nicholas Lindsay, has been appointed as Power’s Technical Advisor.

Dr Lindsay will work closely with Power’s management and technical team to advance the company’s lithium strategy at the Salta lithium project.

Power Minerals Non-Executive Chairman Stephen Ross said its important the company has the right “mix of people” to help meet its goals and ambitions.

“Mr Habib’s commitment to advancing our project portfolio and delivering shareholder value has been exceptional, and along with Dr Lindsay’s hands-on experience and expertise in developing a major emerging lithium project in the region will be invaluable to Power as we forge ahead with our plans to maximise the commercial outcomes of the Salta project.”

Both appointments become effective from today.
