Great Panther Mining Limited (TSX:GPR, NYSE:GPL) has announced the appointment of its chairman, Alan Hair, as the company’s new interim CEO, effective immediately, following the resignation of Rob Henderson for personal reasons.
Great Panther said it will develop, in due course, a transition plan for the appointment of a permanent CEO.
“As Chair and Interim CEO, I look forward to working more closely with the senior executive team and the Board to continue to realize the potential of Tucano by returning it to steady-state production and advancing the exploration of our highly prospective land package in Brazil, including the development of our Urucum North underground project,” Hair said in a statement.

Vancouver-based Great Panther owns a diversified portfolio of assets in Brazil, Mexico and Peru made up of three gold and silver mines, an advanced development project, and a large land package with district-scale potential.
