Consolidated Copper Corp appoints Vikram Cariappa as chief financial officer

· CCC has appointed Vikram Cariappa as chief financial officer, strengthening the leadership team as the company advances a staged restart of its Namibia copper platform.

· The appointment comes as CCC nears completion of key technical and commercial milestones for its copper assets ahead of planned financing discussions.

· Mr Cariappa brings deep experience across project finance, capital markets and operational scale-up, supporting CCC’s direct-to-manufacturer model and its ambition to build a long-life, low-capital-intensity source of responsible copper.

Consolidated Copper Corp (CCC) announced the appointment of Vikram Cariappa as chief financial officer, effective 1 March 2026. Mr Cariappa joins the board as CCC advances a staged restart of its Namibian copper portfolio and scales a direct-to-manufacturer supply model built on responsibly produced copper.

Mr Cariappa brings more than 15 years of senior financial leadership across the global mining and metals sector, combining strategic finance, operational delivery and risk management. His previous roles include acting as CFO and senior finance positions for listed mining companies across multiple jurisdictions, as well as Partner at Deloitte, where he led the Mining & Metals Forum in Queensland, Australia.

CCC is restarting a sizeable copper platform in Namibia at a moment when copper’s strategic value is back at the centre of capital allocation.

John Sisay, CEO of Consolidated Copper Corp, said:

“Vikram’s track record across complex mining operations will be instrumental as we move from staged restart into scaled execution. We are building a long-life, low-capital-intensity copper platform through disciplined capital allocation, and Vikram strengthens our ability to finance and deliver that plan while deepening direct relationships with manufacturers seeking responsibly sourced copper.”

Vikram Cariappa said:

“CCC has a rare combination of producing assets, a clear restart pathway, and a differentiated commercial model. I look forward to helping the team sharpen financing readiness, strengthen capital discipline and support long-term value creation. The combination of strong assets, a clear ESG commitment, and a talented leadership team positions CCC to capture significant growth in the global energy transition supply chain.”
