Resolute mining operation in West Africa
Australia- and London-listed Resolute Mining has appointed Andrew Wray nonexecutive director.
He will also succeed chairperson Martin Botha when he retires at the end of August.
Wray has also been appointed as a member of the board’s audit and risk, remuneration and nomination committees.
Wray has held executive positions in the African mining sector, having led successful business turnarounds with responsible project development.
His prior positions include CFO of Acacia Mining, CEO of Golden Star Resources and CEO of mining investment company La Mancha.
He also worked with a number of UK-listed mining companies as a director for investment banking firm JP Morgan Cazenove.
Wray currently chairs Vedra Metals – a joint venture involving private equity group Appian Capital Advisory.
“Wray brings a wealth of relevant experience, and his style of leadership will fit well into the Resolute board culture,” Botha states.
Resolute currently operates the Syama and Mako gold mines, in Mali and Senegal, respectively.
