PERTH (miningweekly.com) – Copper cathode producer Tiger Resources has announced the resignation of its CEO Brad Marwood.
Company director Michael Griffiths has been appointed interim CEO while the company seeks a successor to Marwood.
Griffiths has been a director of Tiger since the end of 2012 and has over 30 years experience in the Australian and African minerals and energy sectors.
Marwood will serve as an adviser to Tiger for an interim period, to assist with the transition of the new leadership team.
Tiger is aiming to produce 25 000 t of copper cathode at its Kipoi project, in the Democratic Republic of Congo, in the current financial year.
A recent debottlenecking study of the solvent extraction and electrowinning plant revealed that copper production could be increased from the 25 000 t/y nameplate capacity to 32 500 t/y at a capital investment of $25-million.
