STOCKHEAD - Key Persons


Amanda Lacaze - CEO

Job Titles:
  • Chief Executive

Andrew Forrest

Andrew Forrest has been around nickel plays for many years now and his latest gig is trying to wrest control, via his vehicle Wyloo Metals, of WA nickel producer Western Areas (ASX:WSA) popping up with 5.3% (WSA, ASX Announcement 20 August 2021). Andrew Forrest is known as the iron ore king in Australia and my punt is that he will eventually be a consolidator of Australian and/or Canadian nickel developers and producers over the coming years. As we have seen in the past, he has the muscle and tenacity to pull almost anything off!
