Ioneer Announces Departure of Chief Financial Officer
22 September 2025 – Ioneer Ltd (“Ioneer”) (ASX: INR, NASDAQ: IONR) today announced that Ian Bucknell, Chief Financial Officer
(CFO) and Company Secretary, will be departing the Company to pursue other interests, effective mid-December. This comes after seven years of service with the company and marks a transition point for the company as his replacement will be U.S.
based.
Ian will continue in his current roles through his contractual notice period, ensuring business continuity and a smooth transition of the CFO and Company Secretarial
roles and responsibilities. This transition will allow Ian to assist with the completion of the results season, including the 20-F for U.S. reporting purposes, and preparation of the AGM.
As Ioneer looks forward to completing the strategic partnering process, final investment decision (FID) and construction of the Rhyolite Ridge Project in Nevada, the
company intends to relocate the CFO role to the U.S. to ensure strong financial leadership and cost control for the project and finance team. The Company Secretarial role will remain in Australia.
Ioneer Managing Director Bernard Rowe said “We would like to thank Ian for his significant contribution to the company over these past seven years. His expertise,
professionalism and unwavering commitment have been instrumental in positioning our business well for the future. We wish him every success in his next endeavour.”
This ASX release has been authorised by Ioneer Managing Director, Bernard Rowe.
