Kore appoints interim CFO
JSE- and Aim-listed potash project developer Kore Potash reports that its CFO Jean Michel Bour has resigned.
He will, however, continue to work with Kore until August 15 to complete agreed tasks.
He has advised Kore that his personal circumstances are such that he is not able to continue in the role of CFO.
Amanda Farris – a chartered accountant with over 20 years’ experience in the mining industry, who has been with Kore since May – has been appointed interim CFO, while the company undertakes a recruitment process to find a permanent CFO.
She has a broad skills base, including financial management, business support services, feasibility studies, mining and processing constructing projects, contract negotiations and mining and exploration operations.
The corporate and operations leadership and management roles Farris has held have been in Australia, Indonesia, Côte d’Ivoire and the Democratic Republic of Congo with companies including Newcrest Mining, De Grey Mining, Tiger Resources and Iluka Resources.
Farris has been providing commercial support and assistance to Bour and is well positioned to assume the CFO responsibilities, the company states.
Going forward, she will report directly to Kore CEO Brad Sampson.
Sampson says that while the company is disappointed that Bour’s personal circumstances have required his departure, Kore wishes him well for the future.
“We are also fortunate that Farris is available to immediately step in as our interim CFO. She is a highly respected chartered accountant, who is already familiar with all of the company’s accounts and people”.
Kore has a 97%-ownership of the Kola and DX potash projects in the Sintoukola basin, in Congo-Brazzaville.
