Viridis Mining and Minerals Limited ( (AU:VMM) ) has shared an announcement.

Viridis Mining and Minerals has appointed experienced resources finance executive Ramon Soares as Chief Financial Officer, effective 11 March 2026, replacing John Tasovac after an orderly transition. The board credited Tasovac with advancing export credit agency-led project debt and strategic partner discussions, while positioning Soares to lead financing, capital structure optimisation and financial governance as the company moves toward a Final Investment Decision, definitive feasibility completion and eventual project execution in Brazil-focused operations.

The new CFO brings more than 15 years’ experience with ASX-listed companies operating in Brazil, including project finance, equity and debt funding, treasury and multi-jurisdictional reporting, which aligns closely with Viridis’ near-term priorities. His appointment is intended to strengthen the company’s financing strategy and execution pathway as it progresses ECA-led domestic and international debt processes, prepares for EPCM contracting, and transitions projects from study to construction and production, potentially enhancing Viridis’ readiness for large-scale development and its positioning in the critical minerals sector.

The most recent analyst rating on (AU:VMM) stock is a Buy with a A$4.70 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Viridis Mining and Minerals Limited stock, see the AU:VMM Stock Forecast page.
