JOHANNESBURG (miningweekly.com) – Replacing Ryan Torvik, who had been with the company since the prefeasibility stage of the flagship Karma gold mine, in Burkina Faso, TSX-V-listed True Gold Mining has appointed Peter Hardie as CFO, effective November 2.
He would join the company from gold, copper and zinc miner Nevsun Resources, where he served as VP of Finance and CFO, leading the finance team at the company as it grew from a junior developer to a producer.
He was involved in the financing, construction and mine start-up, operations and government negotiations, and led all areas of finance, including treasury systems and reporting.
Hardie also offered experience in West Africa as a result of Nevsun’s development and operation of the Tabakoto mine, in Mali.
“We are excited to have Peter join our strengthened team as CFO and we are delighted to be able to attract someone with his hands-on operational experience and skills to True Gold.
“As we transition into a gold producer, we feel it’s important to continue to build on the operational and African mining experience, and French language skills, within the corporate team. Peter will play a key role in achieving our goal of building a midtier producer,” stated CEO Christian Milau.
