Future Metals NL ("Future Metals" or the "Company", ASX | AIM: FME ), a platinum group metals ("PGM") focussed company, is pleased to announce that Mr Jardee Kininmonth, Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") of Future Metals, has been appointed to the Board as Managing Director with effect from 11 May 2022.

In addition, the Company has appointed Mr Tom O'Rourke as Company Secretary and Chief Financial Officer (non-board position), to ultimately replace long-serving Finance Director and Company Secretary, Mr Aaron Bertolatti.

Future Metals' Chairman, Justin Tremain, commented :

"Jardee's appointment is a natural progression given his strong performance and leadership in the CEO role since joining Future Metals. He has contributed significantly towards the Company's transition into becoming a project developer by clearly defining the strategy and building out the team as the Company works towards delivering an updated JORC Mineral Resource Estimate for the Panton PGM Project in the coming weeks. The Board welcomes Jardee as Managing Director and looks forward to continuing our strong working relationship."

"The Board thanks Aaron for his long period of service to the Company and welcomes Tom to Future Metals, where he will work closely with the Managing Director and the Board towards the continued growth of the Company. "
