Great Western Minerals (TSX-V:GWG) said Wednesday that Mohamed Madhi, member of the company's advisory board, has been appointed to represent Great Western on the board of Rare Earth Extraction Company (Rareco), a business in which it holds a 21% stake.

Madhi has been chairman of Areva South Africa and the CEO of Safika Resources, a South African company focused on mineral exploration and mining. He has also held executive positions at the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research, Eskom and Harmony Gold, one of the world’s largest gold mining companies.
In addition to serving on Rareco's board, Madhi has also agreed to oversee the advancement of Great Western's interests in the Steenkampskraal project.
