Australian mineral exploration company Platypus Minerals has appointed Joe Walsh as its new CEO, effective November 7. Based in Brisbane, Walsh, who has over 25 years in industry experience, will lead Platypus in its strategy to become a lithium producer by exploring for lithium minerals and by developing operations using the L-Max process. “Walsh already developed a strategy that will see us transition from a mineral explorer to mine developer and lithium producer by 2019,” the company said in a statement.
