Zanaga appoints new CEO
Iron-ore exploration and development company Zanaga Iron Ore Company (ZIOC), which is developing its flagship Zanaga project in Congo-Brazzaville, has appointed Martin Knauth CEO, with immediate effect.
He is a senior mining executive with extensive experience in the industry spanning more than 30 years in a range of cultures, countries and commodities, with notable success in project development, operations and transformational growth phases, as well as establishment of performance cultures.
With previous experience in Australia, Kazakhstan, Madagascar, Cuba, the Democratic Republic of Congo and many other jurisdictions, working for such companies as Western Mining Corp, Vale, Sherritt Metals International, KAZ Minerals and Glencore, he has a strong record in establishing and maintaining positive relationships with governments, communities, employees and other project stakeholders critical to the company's success.
Knauth holds a Bachelor's degree in Mining Engineering from the University of Queensland, a Master's degree in Mineral Economics from Curtin University and is a Member of the AusIMM.
He will not be joining the Zanaga board at this stage, but a potential board role will be considered in the future, the company points out.
"I am delighted to announce the appointment of Marty Knauth as CEO of ZIOC. Marty brings extensive experience in project development, operations and transformational growth phases in the mining industry. These positive attributes are essential to moving the Zanaga project forward, especially in light of the recently announced strategic objectives of the company," says ZIOC chairperson Clifford Elphick.
