Promotion of Malawian Executive Lisungu Chirwa to Managing
Director of Local Subsidiary, Globe Metals & Mining Africa
Limited Underscores Local Leadership
Globe Metals & Mining Limited (ASX:GBE) (“Globe” or “the Company”) is
pleased to announce promotion of Lisungu Chirwa to Managing Director of Globe’s
wholly owned subsidiary Globe Metals & Mining Africa Limited. This decision
underscores our commitment to local leadership and enhancing in-country
capabilities.
Based in Malawi, Lisungu brings a wealth of experience, deep institutional
knowledge, and a steadfast dedication to the Company’s mission.
Lisungu holds an MSc in Strategic Management from the University of Derby and a
Bachelor of Commerce degree from the University of Namibia. Since joining Globe in
2008 in Lilongwe, she has progressed with a series of senior roles, most recently
serving as Finance Director.
In her role as Finance Director of the Malawian entity, Lisungu played a crucial part in
negotiating the Mining Development Agreement with the Government of Malawi and
led the community engagement process for the signing of the Community
Development Agreement. These achievements reflect her strong leadership and
stakeholder engagement skills.
Lisungu also serves on the Board of Directors and acts as the Company Secretary of
Globe Metals & Mining Africa Limited, demonstrating the trust placed in her by both
the Company and its stakeholders.
Prior to her tenure at Globe, Lisungu was the Company Accountant at Macsteel
Malawi, where she led the finance team and served as deputy to the Financial
Controller.
Her promotion marks a significant milestone in Globe’s development journey and
highlights our ongoing strategy to empower local leaders and strengthen our
operational roots in Malawi.
Globe’s Interim Chief Executive Officer, Charles Altshuler, commented
“Lisungu’s promotion to Managing Director is both well-deserved and strategically
vital. She has been a cornerstone of Globe’s operations in Malawi for over 15 years,
demonstrating exceptional leadership, integrity, and profound local insight. Her
contributions to shaping our agreements with government and communities has been
critical to the success of the Kanyika Project. I’m confident she will continue to lead
with distinction as we enter into our next phase of development. This appointment
reinforces our commitment to fostering strong in-country leadership and ensuring
Globe’s future is guided by those who understand the local context best.”

About the Kanyika Niobium Project
The Kanyika Niobium Project is located in central Malawi, approximately 55km northeast of the
regional centre of Kasangu and is secured by Large-Scale Mining Licence No. LML0216/21 which
grants the Company security of tenure and the right to mine niobium, tantalum, zirconium and
other minor metals.
Drilling programs totalling 33.8 kilometres of percussion and core drilling have defined the
extent of mineralisation. Structured and progressive engineering studies have resulted in the
current (JORC 2012) Mineral Resource Estimate (refer below) and given rise to significant
improvements and simplifications in the process flowsheet.
The Kanyika Project will be developed in two phases, substantially de-risking the project. The
project will be fully integrated on the mine site – Mining, Concentration and Refining, to produce
high-purity, high-value Niobium and Tantalum oxides for direct export to western markets.
A Mineral Resource Estimate for the Kanyika Niobium Project under the 2012 JORC guidelines
was reported to ASX on 11 July 2018 as follows:
