Metro Mining: Changes to executive leadership team

Metro Mining Limited (ASX:MMI) (‘Metro’, the ‘Company’) is pleased to announce some changes to its executive leadership team.

Simon Wensley, CEO & MD, of Metro Mining commented: “As we start 2026, Metro is implementing a new Management Operating System focused on integrated planning across the supply chain to support increased performance and enhanced reliability of each component. This integrated approach will underpin targeted full achievement of our expanded operating strategy with another year of record shipments and a greater than 20% reduction in FOB operating costs per tonne. To enable this, with the support of our Board of Directors, I have made changes to the executive leadership team bringing in new, highly experienced leaders and changing some accountabilities with the existing team. This model also provides for rapid scalability as we look to add further assets to the Metro portfolio”.

The mine and marine operations at Bauxite Hills have been integrated and streamlined with a newly appointed leader, Mr Paul Green, taking responsibility as the Executive General Manager Operations. Paul is a highly experienced production, maintenance and safety leader who has run large integrated mines in previous positions with Rio Tinto, BHP, and Idemitsu.
