Experienced Director Joycelyn Morton Joins ABx Group
ABx Group Limited (ASX:ABX) (“ABx” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce highly
experienced director Ms Joycelyn Morton has been appointed as an independent nonexecutive director of ABx, as well as 83%-owned subsidiary ALCORE, with immediate effect.
Ms Morton will replace long-serving ABx Group non-executive director Mr Ken Boundy, who
has stepped down to focus on his other director duties, as well as the ALCORE director
position previously held by Mr Derek Firth prior to his resignation in late 2023.
Ms Morton currently serves as a non-executive director of two ASX-listed companies;
investment company Argo Global Listed Infrastructure Ltd (ASX:ALI) and Felix Group
Holdings (ASX:FLX), which is a developer of a procurement management platform and
vendor marketplace for the construction industry. She is a non-executive director of AIMlisted Gelion, a developer of innovative battery technologies, as well as energy infrastructure
company Epic Energy Group.
Ms Morton has previously served as a non-executive director on a diverse range of boards,
including Australia’s largest specialised naval defence company ASC Pty Ltd, Snowy Hydro
Ltd and Beach Energy Ltd (ASX:BPT). She has been Chair of the Audit, Risk and Compliance
Committee for multiple boards.
Earlier in her career, Ms Morton held senior positions at energy company Shell Australia and
Shell International, and prior to that Woolworths Limited.
In addition to her corporate experience, Ms Morton is a Fellow and Life Member of CPA
Australia, having served as the organisation’s National President. She also represented both
CPA Australia and the Institute of Chartered Accountants Australia and New Zealand on the
Board of the International Federation of Accountants (IFAC).
Commenting on changes to the ABx and ALCORE Boards, Managing Director and CEO
Dr Mark Cooksey said:
“I am thrilled to welcome Joycelyn as a director of ABx and ALCORE. She brings substantial
expertise in growing small, innovative companies, and her experience across a broad range of
industries is ideally suited to ABx’s portfolio of growth opportunities.
With the addition of Ms Morton, ABx looks forward to accelerating the development of its two
outstanding opportunities; the ionic adsorption clay rare earth project in northern Tasmania, and
the ALCORE process to convert aluminium smelter waste into high value hydrogen and aluminium
fluoride.
At the same time, I would like to thank Ken Boundy for his substantial and insightful contributions
to ABx, having served on the Board for over a decade. Over this long period, Ken has provided
critical guidance overseeing ABx’s strategy and leaves the Company well-positioned for future
success. Similarly, I would like to thank Derek Firth for his support and astute contributions to
ALCORE since its inception in 2018.”
