With the early extension of his contract, Mr. Moir is expected to continue to play a key role in shaping the expansion process of the HMS Group with a focus on rare earths and minerals for the clean tech sector. It also ensures long-term continuity in the Company’s management,” said Heinz Schernikau, founder and Chairman of the Supervisory Board of HMS Bergbau AG.

“I am pleased that since becoming the Chief Financial Officer of HMS Bergbau AG in 2020, my work has made a positive impact, prompting the early extension of my contract until 31 March 2026. I am looking forward to continuing to work alongside the Management Board and Supervisory Board, as well as with the entire HMS Bergbau AG team. Together our goal is to continue on the path of sales and earnings growth by steadily expanding our existing international trading relationships, increasing the diversification of the trading segment and forging ahead with our global M&A strategy – particularly through our own raw material development projects. As in previous years, we will continue to lay the necessary global financial foundation for this in the finance department,” says Jens Moir, CFO of HMS Bergbau AG.
