Lindian appoints executive to lead Kangankunde project delivery
ASX-listed Lindian Resources reports that nonexecutive director Zekai (Zac) Komur will transition to an executive role and lead the project delivery of the company's Kangankunde rare earths project, in Malawi.
The company points out that he has extensive experience in project delivery, commissioning, startup, mine development, mineral processing and remote project management, positioning him well to lead delivery at Kangankunde and Lindian’s additional strategic initiatives.
Mining and plant construction for a Stage 1 operation at Kangankunde is expected to start in early 2026, with first concentrate to be delivered later that year.
A Stage 2 expansion study is, meanwhile, set to be concluded in the last quarter of this year.
In his new role, Komur will maintain the schedule, budget and quality discipline for the Stage 1 development, drive the Stage 2 operations to execution readiness, and lead the assessment of downstream mixed rare earth carbonate processing partnerships to support long-term earnings and supply chain resilience.
“We are delighted with the appointment of Zac Komur as executive director leading both Stage 1 and Stage 2 expansion for our Tier 1 Kangankunde rare earths project. Zac brings deep project delivery experience with over 25 years’ experience having executed on landmark projects globally including greenfield and brownfield capacity expansion projects for BHP, Fortescue and INPEX.
"Zac is a highly qualified chemical engineer with expertise in both upstream mining and downstream processing. He is a proven mining executive with a strong record in senior leadership roles and is a welcome addition to Lindian’s core executive team,” comments Lindian executive chairperson Robert Martin.
