Gerbrand van Heerden has been appointed CFO of zinc-focused base metals company Trevali, taking over from outgoing CFO Anna Ladd-Kruger, effective June 1.
“Van Heerden’s extensive base metals and finance experience will provide a solid foundation to the company as it continues to evolve into a global, midtier miner,” CEO Mark Cruise said in a statement on Thursday.
Van Heerden is a chartered accountant and has more than 18 years’ experience in various senior management roles in the mining industry.
He initially joined Trevali when it bought out an 80% stake in the Rosh Pinah mine, in Namibia, and a 90% interest in the Perkoa mine, in Burkina Faso, in 2017.
