Mr Secker is expected to guide Canyon through its transition from development to production of the first bauxite shipment, which is expected to commence in the first half of 2026. This particular development is expected to make a significant contribution to the aluminium industry by providing a reliable and high-quality source of bauxite, a key ingredient in aluminium production. The transition in the leadership is seen as a pivotal role in achieving the goal for Canyon to become a reliable and effective supplier of bauxite.
