ASX-listed Metallica Minerals has announced changes to its leadership structure, effective July 8, with the appointment of Stephen Everett as the independent nonexecutive chairperson and Greg Starr as MD. 

Everett brings a wealth of experience to his new role, with more than four decades of expertise in management and board advisory across the resources, construction and real estate sectors. His career includes guiding boards, executive teams and operational committees, focusing on enhancing organisational value, managing risks effectively, driving commercialisation efforts and strategising stakeholder management.

In his new capacity, Everett is expected to play a crucial role in steering Metallica towards its strategic objectives, leveraging his extensive industry knowledge and leadership acumen to navigate the evolving market landscape.

Simultaneously, Starr assumes the role of MD, bolstering Metallica’s executive team with over 20 years of experience as a public company director. He has held senior board positions in various ASX-listed companies and has been instrumental in numerous mergers and acquisitions, debt and equity financial transactions, as well as fostering substantial corporate growth. His expertise lies in streamlining operations, enhancing corporate governance practices, and driving significant business expansion.

The board re-composition also includes the appointment of Michael Chapman and Stephen Everett as directors of Metallica, effective from the same date. They join Brad Sampson, who continues to serve as an independent nonexecutive director, further strengthening the company’s governance framework and strategic oversight.

Commenting on these appointments, Metallica affirmed its commitment to driving sustainable growth and delivering long-term value to its shareholders. The newly constituted board is poised to capitalise on emerging opportunities in the resources sector, guided by a blend of seasoned leadership and strategic foresight.
