Critica Limited has landed a major coup in the hunt for leadership firepower by appointing seasoned mining executive Jacob Deysel as its new chief executive officer to spearhead the transition of its Western Australian Jupiter project from explorer to developer. Deysel will take up the reins in two weeks.

'The company will greatly benefit from an experienced CEO to rapidly advance Jupiter.' Critica Limited chairman Tim Lindley The project is ideally located between the mining hub of Mt Magnet and the export-ready Port of Geraldton, combining a world-class jurisdiction with world-class infrastructure. With Deysel now at the helm, the company says it's poised to fast-track scoping and feasibility studies as it aims to develop the project and become a globally significant Western-aligned rare earths supplier. Critica Limited chairman Tim Lindley said: 'We are extremely pleased that Critica has been able to attract someone of Jacob's credentials, experience, relationships and technical knowledge in the rare earths sector. The company will greatly benefit from an experienced CEO to rapidly advance Jupiter through scoping and feasibility studies to reposition us from explorer to developer.' Deysel is a qualified mining engineer with an MBA and executive training from London Business School. Critica says the company was specifically looking for someone with his particular skill set for boosting value in rare earths, graphite and mineral sands projects worldwide.
