Pamela Hueston has resigned as finance director of Premier African Minerals Limited (LON:PREM), the resource development company focused on Southern and Western Africa.
Meanwhile, the company has announced the appointment of Russel Swarts as a consultant to the company to provide oversight of the financial management of the company.
Swarts is a qualified chartered accountant and a former chief executive officer of the largest specialist telecommunications group in South Africa. He was also chief financial officer of URU Metals Limited.
"I'm delighted to welcome Mr Swarts to the company. Mr Swarts brings a wealth of experience which we can draw on as the company enters into a new phase of development,” said George Roach, chief executive and chairman of Premier.
“His appointment will facilitate the consolidation of our accounting function in Southern Africa and in turn generate significant operating efficiencies. While I am pleased to welcome Mr Swarts, I am sad to see Ms Hueston, who has been with the company since inception, leaving. I would like to thank her on behalf of the team for her dedication and stewardship over the years and wish her well for the future," he added.
