Giyani Metals Corp (TSXV:EMM) recognized for its K.Hill battery-grade manganese project in Botswana, has announced the appointment of Charles FitzRoy as its new President and CEO. FitzRoy takes over from Danny Keating, who is leaving to explore other opportunities.

Charles FitzRoy joined Giyani in October 2023 as Head of Corporate Development and Strategy. In this role, FitzRoy was instrumental in managing key relationships with original equipment manufacturers and off-takers. His previous experience includes serving as CEO of Bradda Head Lithium, where he successfully guided the company through public listings on AIM, OTCQB, and TSX-V.

Mark Burnett, the interim non-executive Chairman of the Board, expressed strong confidence in FitzRoy's leadership. Burnett noted, “We are very excited to appoint Charles as CEO at an important time for the company. Since he joined last year, the Board has been impressed with his strategic decision-making and vision.”

FitzRoy’s appointment is significant as Giyani prepares to deliver its Demonstration Plant in the fourth quarter of 2024. Additionally, the company is advancing its definitive feasibility study (DFS), which is expected to support project financing in 2025. FitzRoy highlighted the importance of this phase in establishing Giyani as a leading producer of battery-grade manganese in Africa.

"This is a very exciting time for Giyani as we look to finalize the delivery of the Demonstration Plant in Q4 and begin narrowing our focus towards commencing negotiations with key partners for off-take agreements this year,” FitzRoy stated. “There is much work to be done, but we believe we have the right team to continue advancing the company and the K.Hill project towards becoming a dominant player in the battery-grade manganese sector in Africa.”

The appointment of FitzRoy comes at a pivotal moment for Giyani, as the company continues to make strides in its project development and aims to secure significant partnerships that will support its growth and operational goals.
