"With the Han**** Iron Project moving quickly towards production, having someone of Troy's calibre in place to manage all these moving parts is crucial. Troy brings important skills that will ensure an efficient and timely start-up of the mine as we finalise the last outstanding permits for production. He will provide additional management of logistics including contractor selection, mining, transport and ultimately first export of our ore out through Utah Point in Port Headland in 2023. I am confident that we could not have found a better suited person for this role. His experience in operational start-ups, contract and commercial management in Australian iron ore alone speaks for itself. This is a great appointment for shareholders and I welcome him aboard, his proven track record and expertise in project delivery is aligned with the Company's strategic goals, and with expected further appointments expected shortly I look forward to working with Troy and building the team that will deliver on our stated goals."
Troy Whittaker, CEO of Iron Ore Company of Australia Pty Ltd, commented:
"I am honoured and excited to be appointed as CEO of IOCA at such a pivotal time in its evolution. Having completed my own due diligence on the assets, I have no doubt that the skillset I have obtained throughout my career leave me well positioned to, together with my new colleagues, take the near-term production Han****, and the rest of our portfolio to their next stages, and to provide further value to Alien's stakeholders.
"I look forward to working environment with the Alien team."
