EV Resources Limited strengthens its leadership with two seasoned mining executives and raises AU$650,000 via share placement to restart its high-grade Los Lirios Antimony Mine in Mexico. These moves signal renewed focus on value creation and disciplined resource development.

EV Resources Limited has announced significant changes to its board and capital structure as it seeks to bolster its strategic focus on high-grade antimony assets in Mexico. The company has welcomed two new directors: Shane Menere, who is appointed as the non-executive chairman, and Justin Werner, appointed as a non-executive director. In this reshuffle, Luke Mar transitions from his role as non-executive chairman to that of a non-executive director. Both new appointees will receive remuneration in the form of 20 million shares and 20 million options each, with exercise prices set at $0.003 and expiring one year from issue, pending shareholder approval. In parallel with its board appointments, EV Resources Limited has secured AU$650,000 in placement commitments, with the planned issuance of approximately 216.7 million new shares at $0.003 per share under the company’s LR7.1 capacity. Notably, the new directors have each committed AU$100,000 to the placement, reinforcing their confidence in the company’s direction. The proceeds from this financing will be used to restart the high-grade Los Lirios Antimony Mine project in Mexico—as part of a broader strategy to enhance working capital and conserve cash—while pushing forward an early-stage resource project aimed at securing access to antimony supply for the United States. In addition, the board outlined a strategic decision to relinquish the Parag licenses in Peru. Despite the strong exploration results in copper and molybdenum, the company believes that focusing on the immediate potential at Los Lirios and addressing current market conditions will yield stronger long-term benefits and reduce monthly expenditures. Bullish sentiment comes from the infusion of experienced leadership with an international track record, a supportive share placement that underscores shareholder confidence, and a clear focus on advancing a high-grade asset in a favorable market environment. Investors might view the strategic reallocation of resources and cash conservation measures as a positive step toward unlocking shareholder value. On the other hand, cautious views may arise from inherent risks in restarting a historic mining operation, uncertainties surrounding commodity prices, and the inherent challenges of bringing exploration projects into commercial production amidst evolving market conditions.
