Critical Metals Corp Appoints Rear Admiral Peter Stamatopoulos to its Advisory Board
NEW YORK, Oct. 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Critical Metals Corp. (Nasdaq: CRML) (“Critical Metals Corp” or the “Company”), a leading critical minerals mining company, today announced that it appointed Rear Admiral Peter Stamatopoulos, U.S. Navy (ret) as an advisor on its Advisory Board.
Admiral Stamatopoulos is a highly respected, retired United States Navy flag officer who most recently served as the 49th Chief of the U.S. Navy Supply Corps. Concurrently he served as Commander of Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP), a premier global logistics and supply chain organization. He steered a workforce of 25,000, managing operations in the U.S., Indo-Pacific, Europe, and Middle East, with 2023 sales nearing $12 billion. On Critical Metals Corp’s Advisory Board, he will be focused on Naval, global supply chain, and defense industrial issues.
“We are honored and very excited to have Admiral Stamatopoulos, a highly accomplished military commander and logistician with more than 35 years of experience, join our Advisory Board to support the planned and projected global growth of the company,” said Tony Sage, CEO and Executive Chairman of Critical Metals Corp. “We are particularly excited to leverage Pete’s unparalleled expertise in industrial operations and global logistics to advance America’s national security interest. The addition of Admiral Stamatopoulos complements and builds upon our already outstanding Advisory Board, which also includes General Tim Ray, USAF (ret), Christian Aramayo and Mathew August.”
Currently, Admiral Stamatopoulos is the Chief Executive Officer of ADAPTᾱrkon, a mission-focused management company that aligns commercial capabilities with strategic government and commercial needs while navigating operational complexity, risk, and change. His profound impact on the U.S. Navy was marked by leading the Naval Sustainment System (NSS) Supply, designing a $41B initiative that drove supply chain efficiencies, resulting in $2.2B in benefits and $816M in annual savings. These efficiencies yielded over $7B in improved mission readiness. He also fostered collaborations across military and civilian sectors, ensuring optimal performance. Preceding his command at NAVSUP, Admiral Stamatopoulos significantly influenced logistics as the Director of Logistics (J4) for the U.S. European Command, overseeing logistics for the U.S. military and NATO including leadership of the Central European Pipeline System.
“Critical Metals Corp’s flagship Tanbreez project is a game changer for America as it offers much needed critical minerals autonomy for the United States and NATO especially for defense applications,” said Admiral Stamatopoulos. “I’m truly honored to support Critical Metals Corp’s efforts as we work diligently to break the stranglehold the Chinese Communist Party has on the global supply of these crucial assets.”
