The appointment commences from 1st February’20 for a 6-month engagement. Mark Cooksey appointed General Manager of Australian Bauxite Limited's 90%-owned subsidiary, Alcore.

 Dr Cooksey has been granted 6 months leave from CSIRO to assist Alcore to commercialise development of aluminium fluoride production.

The joining of Dr Cooksey to Alcore backs with a majestic history in research, engineering and commercialising new developments in the Aluminium industry since 1997.

Dr Mark Cooksey began his professional career as a Research Engineer in aluminium smelting with Comalco (now Rio Tinto Alcan) in 1997 and became senior research engineer in 2000 before achieving six sigma black belts at Gladstone, Queensland in 2002.

He joined the CSIRO in 2004 as Senior Research Engineer and became Senior Principal Research Leader at the CSIRO in 2016.

Mark Cooksey holds a PhD (Chemicals & Materials Engineering), Bachelor of Engineering (Materials - First Class Honours) and Bachelor of Science (Information Technology and Applied Mathematics). He has worked closely with the aluminium and other metal industries and his significant experience in commercialising new technologies and processes will be a solid base for Alcore to expand into the next phase of development.

Welcoming Dr Cooksey, Ian Levy, Australian Bauxite's CEO and Managing Director, commented: "Mark joins Alcore at an opportune time as Alcore develops from laboratory research to large scale production. Alcore needs a highly skilled and experienced leadership that Mark can provide.

These are exciting times for Australian Bauxite as our bauxite team has begun the approval and development process for our flagship bauxite mine at Binjour in QLD and our technology subsidiary, Alcore develops the Alcore refining process to make aluminium fluoride (AlF3) for sale to aluminium smelters."
