Argent Minerals Strengthens Leadership to Advance Kempfield Development
Argent Minerals Limited (ASX: ARD) has appointed experienced mining executive and geologist Mike McKevitt as Chief Executive Officer, effective 12 July 2026. With more than 35 years of experience spanning mining operations, technical consulting, corporate advisory, and project financing, Mr McKevitt brings extensive expertise across multiple commodities and global mining jurisdictions. His background includes senior roles in operational mining, corporate leadership, and a decade in international mining finance with Macquarie Bank.
The leadership transition coincides with Argent’s ongoing efforts to advance the Kempfield Silver Project, its cornerstone asset located in New South Wales. The company believes Mr McKevitt’s combination of geological, operational, and financing expertise will support resource growth, technical studies, and development planning. With a resource estimate of 63.7 million tonnes at an average silver-equivalent grade of 69.75 g/t, Kempfield contains roughly 142.8 million ounces of silver-equivalent metal, highlighting its significant scale. The project is supported by additional exploration assets, including the Trunkey Creek gold project and the Copperhead polymetallic project in Western Australia. Argent’s Board expects the leadership transition to strengthen project advancement and enhance long-term shareholder value through focused development and portfolio optimisation.
