Anglesey Mining PLC (AIM:AYM), which is developing the Parys Mountain project, has appointed former Rio Tinto executive Rob Marsden as its new chief executive starting in May.
A graduate of the Camborne mine school, Marsden spent 18 years at Rio before founding his own consultancy in 2013.
Andrew King, Anglesey’s interim chairman, said: “Rob possesses an abundance of experience, both as an engineer and as an accomplished operator at an executive level.
“As we await the assay results for drill hole NCZ003, I am very much looking forward to his input and perspective as we seek to progress both this project [Parys Mountain] and the company more generally in the future.”
Marsden added: “I am pleased and excited to be joining Anglesey Mining as CEO at such a pivotal time for the company and the project.”
