Vast Resources PLC (LON:VAST) has appointed Nicolae Turdean as Romanian country manager.
Turdean has decades of experience in the mining industry, predominantly in Romania.
He will work alongside the newly appointed expert management team at the Baita Plai polymetallic mine and in conjunction with Vast chief executive Andrew Prelea.
Turdean began his career over 40 years ago in the Romanian mining industry and his in-depth knowledge of the jurisdiction, geology and regulatory environment should prove to be highly valuable as Vast looks to implement its upgraded mine plan at Baita Plai, and expand its operations.
"Nicolae is a pre-eminent figure in the Romanian mining industry and he and I will be working closely as we look to execute our upgrade plans at Baita Plai, and thereafter expand our operations to the pipeline of development opportunities we have in Romania,” said Prelea.
“His high-level access to various regulatory bodies and industry associations will complement the significant networks that we have already developed in the country as we look to establish Vast as a major mining company in the Romanian and Zimbabwean mining industries."
