Kefi shakes up board of directors, roles

13th July 2016 By: Creamer Media Reporter

JOHANNESBURG (miningweekly.com) – As Aim-listed Kefi Minerals transitions into gold production, will, from August, restructure its board of directors.

Overall, the board would comprise two executive directors and three nonexecutive directors, with individuals adjusting their roles to suit the changing needs of the company.

Mark Wellesley-Wood was appointed nonexecutive director and chairperson of the newly created technical review committee and, from January 2017, would succeed Professor Ian Plimer as deputy chairperson and senior independent director.

Nonexecutive director Plimer was appointed chairperson of the newly established exploration review committee.

The company’s current independent nonexecutive director Norman Ling would maintain his role.

Exploration director Jeff Rayner would step down from the board to shift his focus to the identification value-adding opportunities for Kefi's next stage of development, while advising and mentoring the exploration team, which remained under group exploration manager Dr Fabio Granitzio.

The gold and exploration development company also appointed nonexecutive director John Leach as FD, joining executive chairperson Harry Anagnostaras-Adams to make up the two executive director board posts.

“Kefi has already installed strong development, community, finance and exploration teams under these executives and will next assemble the production operations team,” Anagnostaras-Adams said.
