Eurasia Mining PLC (AIM:EUA) has appointed Kotaro Kosaka as a non-executive director.
Kosaka is currently the chair of the Kono foundation, having worked for the Mitsubishi Corporation for 13 years.
Christian Schaffalitzky, Eurasia’s executive chairman said: We see significant interest from Japan in platinum group metals (PGM) and battery metals assets, as Japan moves towards net zero-emission goals and the hydrogen economy.
“With JOGMEC and Hanwa having already acquired PGM assets in South Africa, the Japanese players are interested to further expand their presence in lower cost and energy abundant mining jurisdictions. Mr Kosaka's appointment is a part of the execution of our strategy as previously announced".
