Morné Engelbrecht is a South African-born senior executive and Chartered Accountant with over 26 years of international experience in the oil and gas, resources, and energy sectors, currently serving as Chief Financial Officer of Metals Acquisition Corp. II (NYSE: MTAL), a Cayman Islands-based blank-check company targeting metals and mining businesses. He has held the CFO role since December 2025 and also serves as the company's Principal Financial Officer and Principal Accounting Officer. The SPAC, led by Executive Chair Michael James McMullen, filed for a $200 million IPO in early 2026 and explicitly targets critical minerals including copper and lithium, seeking acquisition, operation, financing, and strategic repositioning of natural resource businesses in high-quality, stable jurisdictions.
Prior to joining Metals Acquisition Corp. II, Engelbrecht served as Chief Financial Officer of MAC Copper Limited (formerly Metals Acquisition Corp.), where he was a central member of the leadership team. His appointment as CFO was announced in December 2023 with an expected commencement date of February 10, 2024. The predecessor SPAC, Metals Acquisition Corp., had merged with the Australian CSA Copper Mine in June 2023 and subsequently rebranded as MAC Copper; the combined company was later acquired by Harmony Gold Mining Company (NYSE: HMY) in October 2025 for approximately A$1.1 billion, representing a significant exit for the management team.
Before his tenure at MAC Copper, Engelbrecht had a distinguished career at Beach Energy Limited (ASX: BPT), one of Australia's prominent oil and gas companies. He joined Beach Energy in 2016 as Chief Financial Officer and served in that capacity for approximately five years before becoming Acting Chief Executive Officer in November 2021 and subsequently being formally appointed as CEO. During his time at Beach Energy, he also held directorships at subsidiary entities, including Beach Energy (Otway) Limited, where he was appointed director on June 26, 2018, and Beach Energy (Bass Gas) Limited, where he was appointed director on January 31, 2018; he resigned from both positions on September 22, 2023. His career has spanned multiple jurisdictions including Australia, South Africa, the United Kingdom, Papua New Guinea, and China, with extensive experience in strategy and planning, debt and equity markets, and mergers and acquisitions.
Engelbrecht holds a Bachelor of Commerce (Honours) degree and is a Chartered Accountant of South Africa (CA(SA)) as well as a Member of the Australian Institute of Company Directors (MAICD). Born in February 1977 and of South African nationality, he is currently based in Australia. His professional credentials and cross-jurisdictional experience in resource-sector finance and executive leadership position him as a key figure in Metals Acquisition Corp. II's pursuit of value-accretive transactions in the global mining and critical minerals space.
This record is keyed to SEC CIK 0002115576 — the identifier this person files under in their own name. Every vehicle above is a filing made under that CIK, so “the same person on two shells” is a fact about an SEC identifier rather than about a name that happens to match.
Roles are the strings the filings used, in the order they were filed. Nothing on this page ranks them, infers seniority, or offers a reason why any two of these names recur — a recurrence is a count, and the filings that produced it are linked beside every row. We also hold 8 institutional-holder rows on these vehicles, under 4 distinct name strings, and none of them is counted across vehicles: that table has no CIK column, and matching holders by name would merge firms that are not the same firm.
