Western Australian gold and copper firm Medallion Metals has strengthened its leadership team with several key board and executive appointments as it advances toward near-term production at its Ravensthorpe and Forrestania projects.

The company announced that Tony James will transition from the board to take on the role of COO, while Stephen Moloney joins as corporate development manager. In addition, David Kelly and Siobhan Pelliccia will join the board as nonexecutive directors, bringing extensive experience in geology, mining operations, finance and environmental, social and governance (ESG).

James, who has more than 35 years’ experience in mine operations and project development, will lead the implementation of Medallion’s sulphide production strategy. “His role will be critical in advancing mine development at Ravensthorpe and process modifications at Forrestania, both of which underpin Medallion’s ambition to be a near term gold and copper producer,” the company said.

Moloney, meanwhile, brings more than three decades of equity capital markets and corporate strategy experience. His appointment will enhance Medallion’s corporate development and investor engagement capabilities as it progresses its flagship projects.

On the board, Kelly and Pelliccia add depth and diversity to the company’s governance and strategic oversight. Kelly, a geologist with 35 years’ experience, has previously held senior leadership positions with Resolute Mining, Consolidated Minerals, and WMC Resources, and currently chairs Lefroy Exploration and serves as a nonexecutive director at Westgold.

Pelliccia, an environmental practitioner and mining adviser, has led permitting and approvals for major projects across Western Australia and now heads global ESG advisory services for mining clients at SLR Consulting.

Both bring experience “highly relevant to Medallion’s next phase of growth, particularly as the company advances its sulphide development strategy and broader strategic initiatives, including the proposed acquisition of Forrestania from IGO Ltd.”

The board transition takes effect on October 15.

Medallion MD Paul Bennett said the appointments enhanced the company’s capability as it entered a “transformational period focused on near-term gold and copper production".

“Tony and Stephen strengthen our executive team with deep operational and market expertise, while David and Siobhan strengthen the board with ESG expertise along with broader strategic capabilities,” Bennett said. “Each brings complementary skills and experience highly relevant to our production strategy and growth ambitions.

"These appointments build on the strong team already in place and come at a pivotal stage, further enhancing the quality and capability required to execute Medallion’s corporate strategy and deliver enduring value for shareholders.”
