London-listed junior mining investment company All Star Minerals has appointed Jason Brewer as a director of the company with immediate effect.
This follows the resignation of David Bourne as director.
Brewer has been appointed CEO and Ian Harebottle, the current acting CEO, will revert to the position of nonexecutive director.
Brewer is a senior mining executive with over 25 years' experience in international mining, financial markets and investment banking, with a particular focus on developing advanced mining projects in Africa.
Brewer was part of the executive management team that successfully completed the listing of Caracal Gold onto the Standard List of the LSE and restarted gold mining operations at the Kilimapesa gold mining and processing operations in Kenya.
He is an experienced mining entrepreneur.
The restructuring of the board has been partly driven by the recent developments within Europe, necessitating a change in focus bringing a more aggressive approach by the company in identifying and targeting investments in advanced and near-term production and revenue-generating opportunities within the mining sector, it says.
A number of project opportunities are under review.
