Interesting to see that an EX OMH Director Mr Peter Church has joined LMG who plan a 100,000 magnesium plant in Sarawak. OMH may need more FeSi furnaces to cope with extra demand.


Latrobe Magnesium Limited strengthens Board with New Appointment for its 100,000tpa Malaysian Plant The Board of Latrobe Magnesium Limited (ASX:LMG) is pleased to announce the appointment of Peter Church as a Non-Executive Director effective 24 April 2023. Peter will also assume the role of Independent Chairman of LMG’s wholly owned subsidiary, Latrobe Magnesium Sarawak Sdn Bhd, which will develop the 100,000tpa magnesium plant in Sarawak.

Most importantly Peter served as a Director of OM Holdings Limited (OMH) for a period of 10 years which included the development and then operation of its Sarawak smelter operations. Peter retired from that role in 2021.
His experience gained from developing OMH’s activities in Sarawak will be of great advantage to LMG.

It is located only 5kms from LMG’s proposed Samalaju site. Peter brings a breadth and depth of leadership, corporate advisory, legal and directorship experience in ten South East Asian countries, in particular Malaysia and the State of Sarawak.
