Tungsten West said that Neil Gawthorpe, who was named as CEO on 13 March, has been appointed to the board as an executive director.
“On behalf of the board and the company, it is a pleasure to welcome Neil to the executive team,” said David Cather, chairman of the mining company.
“Having someone with Neil’s operational and industry experience as part of the senior management and director teams will be an invaluable asset to the company during this pivotal time.”
Gawthorpe was named as chief executive earlier this month, having recently held the role of senior vice president of business development at Allied Gold.
"It is a privilege to join Tungsten West as CEO and to help deliver the world-class Hemerdon project for the Company, local community and the nation,” Gawthorpe said at the time.
“Having had already worked with the Tungsten West team in an advisory capacity, I have no doubt this will be a smooth transition and I look forward to bringing this exciting project online. It is my immediate priority to conduct a review of the funding options and timeline for the Project and update the market with the results shortly."
