Steel and mining company ArcelorMittal announced on Thursday that Stefan Buys had been nominated as executive VP of the group and appointed as CEO of ArcelorMittal Mining.

He replaces Simon Wandke who is retiring, following a career of 40 years in the mining industry, the last 11 of which have been with ArcelorMittal.

Buys joins ArcelorMittal from Rio Tinto Iron Ore where, as MD of Pilbara Mining, he supervised the iron-ore mining operations in Western Australia. Prior to joining Rio Tinto, he worked for BHP as asset president of the Olympic Dam operation in South Australia.

Previously, he has also been responsible for Xstrata’s operations in Chile, as COO of North Chile. Prior to that, he held general manager roles in Xstrata’s ferrochrome operations and sales and marketing businesses in South Africa.

Buys started his career as a metallurgical engineer in training at Iscor’s (now ArcelorMittal’s) Vanderbijlpark works.  He has a degree in metallurgical engineering from the University of Pretoria, South Africa.
