Mason brings a lengthy and distinguished career in the energy sector with over 20 years of capital markets experience including portfolio management of both public and private oil and gas assets. He is demonstrated top performer as a five-time winner of the Brendan Wood International TopGun Investment Mind as well as a Canadian Lipper Fund Award and has established thought leadership in both oil and gas as well as ESG, sustainability and energy transition.

"I’m thrilled to take on the role of CEO at Supernova Metals Corp. at such a pivotal moment in the Company’s evolution. Namibia’s Orange Basin has quickly become one of the world’s most exciting frontiers for offshore oil exploration—comparable in potential to the early days of Guyana. Our Block 2712A lies adjacent to major multi-billion-barrel discoveries by global energy majors like Shell, Chevron, and TotalEnergies, and sits at the heart of what is arguably the hottest basin on the planet today. With a clear roadmap in place—including 3D seismic acquisition and a strategic farm-out process—we are uniquely positioned to unlock significant shareholder value. I’m especially energized by the opportunity to work alongside such an accomplished and experienced team. Together, we aim to move quickly and decisively to realize the full value of our strategic position in the months ahead", commented Mason Granger.

Sean McGrath, former CEO, will remain on the Board of Directors and stated, “I am excited to welcome Mason to Supernova and feel extremely confident in his ability to guide the Company through its next phase of development.”
