Kathleen Bozanic will depart IGO in December having served as chief financial officer (CFO) since 2022.
Prior to that, she served as a non-executive director for three years, including being chair of the audit and risk committee.
IGO chief executive officer Ivan Vella said Bozanic made a significant contribution to the company.
“She started as CFO at a very critical time for the business and has had a significant positive impact helping steer the business through the challenges of the past few years,” he said.
“Her expertise, professionalism and commitment have been instrumental in positioning our business well for the future. We wish her all the best for her future endeavours.”
It comes as Sam Retallick resigns from her role as chief people and sustainability officer after 13 years at the company. Retallick will depart in the September quarter.
Gold Road
Gold Road Resources recently appointed Brian Massey as its new general manager of investor relations and corporate development.
Massey steps in after serving as head of investor relations at Santos. Prior to that, he worked across large and small-cap ASX- and TSX-listed resources companies such as Rio Tinto, BHP and Turquoise Hill Resources.
Massey’s appointment comes at an interesting time for Gold Road, which recently rejected an unsolicited takeover offer from Gold Fields, its 50:50 joint venture partner at the Gruyere gold mine.
The proposal would have seen Gold Fields secure 100 per cent of Gold Road shares for $3.05 per share, valuing Gold Road value at $3.3 billion.
Jupiter Mines
South African manganese producer Jupiter Mines has welcomed a new non-executive director, with POSCO nominee Kiho Han appointed.
It comes as Ben Kim steps down from his non-executive director role at Jupiter, returning to POSCO’s headquarters in South Korea.
Han was recently appointed as managing director of POSCO Australia, having accumulated 15 years of experience prior to that in raw materials, coal, purchasing and investment sectors.
“Han is a highly experienced executive with a broad skill set which will offer strategic insights to our company as we advance our manganese growth strategy and explore value-adding opportunities in the battery materials sector,” Jupiter chair Ian Murray said.
