Bushveld Minerals Limited has appointed David Noko to the board as an independent non-executive director to replace Anthony Viljoen.
Noko is highly regarded in South African and global business circles and has years of experience both as an executive and more recently as board member on several prominent companies, including Royal Bafokeng Platinum Limited, Harmony Gold (NYSE:HMY) Mining Company Limited, AstraPak Pty Ltd and Platistone Holdings (Pty) Ltd, Buishveld said.
Anthony Viljoen, who helped found Bushveld Minerals, is leaving to focus on his duties at AfriTin.
"I am extremely honoured to have been part of this exciting story since the very beginning. Bushveld Minerals started as an idea between two colleagues who saw numerous opportunities in Southern Africa's resource space that were not being pursued due to the lack of any meaningful homegrown junior mining companies at the time,” Viljoen said.
"In a little over a decade, the company has consolidated a large part of South Africa's, and the world's, primary vanadium processing capacity and high-grade resources, while also providing the platform for AfriTin, the company I now lead, to develop into the tin producer and lithium developer it is today,” he added.
