Centerra appoints former AuRico CEO new leader
TORONTO (miningweekly.com) – Former member of AuRico Gold senior management Scott Perry has been appointed Canadian miner Centerra Gold's new CEO, replacing retiring incumbent Ian Atkinson, effective November 1.
Perry had more than 20 years of experience in the gold industry, having previously served as CEO and CFO at AuRico, as well as CFO for Highland Gold and Barrick Gold’s Russian and Central Asia business unit.
At AuRico, Perry had worked to enhance the project portfolio to long-lived, low-cost assets, oversee the successful construction and development at the Young Davidson mine, in Ontario, and deliver three years of improvements in productivity and costs.
Centerra also announced on Tuesday that Frank Herbert had been appointed president of the board. Having served as general counsel and corporate secretary of Centerra since 2004, Herbert’s responsibilities would include oversight of the company’s legal matters, government relations and negotiations, and working with Perry in setting the strategic direction for Centerra.
The company had been in talks with the Kyrgyzstan government for more than two years on a deal that would involve the government swapping its 32.7% stake in Centerra for half of a joint venture that would control the Kumtor gold deposit, the largest in the region.
