ASX Announcement
9 May 2023
Globe appoints highly experienced Malawian businessman as Non-Executive Director, strengthening the team developing its Kanyika Niobium Project
Highlights
- Appointment of Mr Macleod G. Nyirongo as a Non-Executive Director of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Globe Metals and Mining (Africa) Limited.
Globe Metals & Mining Limited (ASX: GBE) (“Globe” or “Company”) has appointed leading Malawian businessman Mr Macleod G. Nyirongo as a Non-Executive Director of its wholly owned subsidiary, Globe Metals and Mining (Africa) Limited.
Mr. Nyirongo began his career as Principal Economist in Malawi’s Office of the President and Cabinet, responsible for economic analysis and formulation of economic and social policies to stimulate Malawi’s growth. Thereafter he had more than 25 years within the United Nations (UN) organisation, where his official postings as UN Country Director included the People’s Republic of China, Eritrea, and Zambia, and he was also the UN’s Resident Director in Sierra Leone and Kenya.
While based at the UN in Geneva, Switzerland, Mr Nyirongo participated in the implementation of projects to recruit international specialist skills to support the development of African countries, including recruiting highly skilled global mining experts to boost Governments’ capacity to oversee the mining sectors in Zambia and Botswana.
Following his retirement from the UN Mr Nyirongo held the position of Adviser to Malawi’s Minister of Finance on global partnerships for effective development cooperation, after which he recently left Government to launch a highly successful events and functions company.
Mr Nyirongo is a graduate of the University of Malawi and the London School of Economics and is directly involved in social and economic projects in his rural village area adjacent to the Kanyika mine site, promoting self-reliant livelihoods including beekeeping and honey production, tree-planting (mainly for fuel and timber).
Globe Non-Executive Chairperson, Alice Wong said: “The Board is delighted to welcome Mr Nyirongo to the position of Non-Executive Director of the African subsidiary. Macleod has demonstrated experience in the global mining sector and his successful track-record of supporting the development of African countries, during his time with the United Nations, is a valuable addition to Globe’s team in Malawi. We look forward to working alongside him.”
