Bastion Minerals Limited (ASX: BMO) has announced two key appointments to advance its highly prospective Canadian Copper portfolio, with the appointment of Mr Allister Caird as the company’s new CEO, commencing 17 March 2025, and Dr Julian Stephens, who has been engaged as chief of exploration and strategy, commencing immediately.
Mr Caird is a qualified geologist and geophysicist with over 15 years of experience in resource exploration, spanning service, academic, and operational roles. His background includes managing operations in remote Arctic exploration camps, which is particularly relevant to Bastion’s recently acquired ICE Project in the Yukon Territory in the northwest of Canada.
Dr. Stephens brings over 25 years of experience in mineral resource discovery and strategic exploration. He provides proven leadership and industry success, previously as managing director of Sovereign Metals (ASX: SVM), leading the team that discovered the world’s largest rutile deposit at Kasiya in Malawi and securing a ~$40M strategic investment from Rio Tinto. Further, Dr. Stephens conducted his PhD on RIRG Systems (reduced intrusion-related gold) in the Yukon and has already provided significant insight into the area and project.
The appointment of Allister and Julian aligns with Bastion’s vision to advance its Canadian Copper portfolio, leveraging the expertise of both new leaders to drive exploration success and shareholder value.
