Lefroy Exploration Limited (ASX: LEX) ('Lefroy' or 'the Company') advises the appointment of Mr Graeme Gribbin as Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Company, effective 6 February 2024.

Mr Wade Johnson, who has been Managing Director of LEX for the past seven years, will leave his position on the same date. Mr Gribbin is a highly experienced geologist with an extensive exploration, mining and management background spanning over 25 years, across both gold and nickel projects, from greenfields exploration through to resource, project development and mining. He has extensive knowledge of gold exploration across a diverse range of projects throughout the WA Goldfields.

Mr Gribbin held senior management positions within the North American base metals division of Vale and was responsible for leading an exploration team that contributed to a significant expansion of resource inventories within the Thompson Nickel Belt in Canada. More recently, he was General Manager (Exploration) for formerly ASX listed Western Areas Limited. Graeme was engaged as Managing Director of Lefroy's wholly owned subsidiary Hampton Metals Ltd in October 2022 and later identified and negotiated the successful acquisition of the Location 45 asset for the Company.

LEFROY NON-EXECUTIVE CHAIR, GORDON GALT COMMENTED: 'We warmly welcome Graeme as CEO of Lefroy and look forward to working with him and the LEX team as we advance our gold focused strategic exploration and development plans. The Board acknowledges the significant contributions that Wade Johnson made to Lefroy as the Company's inaugural Managing Director, with the Company's portfolio now being over 1 million ounces of gold resources in the Kalgoorlie-Kambalda area of WA. We all wish Wade the best for his future endeavours.'
