JOHANNESBURG (miningweekly.com) – Aim- and TSX-listed EMED Mining has made new appoints to its board, which will be focused on developing operations and positioning the company as a significant copper producer with scope to further increase its resource base and production while also exploring further opportunities to enhance its portfolio.
The exploration and development company on Monday announced the addition of Hussein Barma, Stephen Scott, Jonathan Lamb and Damon Barber to the board of directors, effective September 9, following the board of directors meeting on the same day.
EMED explained that the appointments ensured that EMED had a board of independent and nonindependent directors who had a wealth of industry experience and the skill sets to further develop EMED’s operations and improve shareholder value.
The company had all required licences in place and, as such, was now focusing on the commissioning stage of the five-million-ton-a-year Phase 1 at the Rio Tinto copper project, in Spain, and was fully funded for the expansion to 7.5-million tons a year of ore production.
