Military Metals announced that former Glencore executive Thomas Hüser will assume the role of executive chairman of the company to support chief executive Scott Eldridge.
In connection with his transition to this executive position, Hüser will relinquish his previous role as independent non-executive chairman.
The transition establishes a European-domiciled member of the company’s executive leadership team. Hüser will now provide the company with a senior management member located in closer proximity to the Trojárová antimony project, Slovak authorities, European policymakers, local stakeholders and potential strategic partners.
Hüser brings more than two decades of European metals, industrial, government relations and strategic-minerals experience.
In his new capacity, Hüser will become more closely involved in the strategic development of Military Metals, with a particular focus on government relations and stakeholder engagement in Europe.
His responsibilities will include advancing the management of the appeal process regarding the cancellation of the company’s exploration license related to the Trojárová antimony project, developing institutional and government relations, and further strengthening the Company’s governance and organizational structures.
Trojárová represents one of the company’s key strategic European assets and is one of only two sizeable Antimony resources within the European Union.
“Hüser…brings an exceptional combination of metals-industry leadership, European government relations and strategic industrial experience,” Military Metals CEO Scott Eldridge said in a news release.
“His background in the international resources industry and engagement with political and regulatory decision-makers is highly complementary to the capabilities of our management team.”
