West Wits Mining (ASX: WWI) has announced changes to its board, including the appointment of current CEO Rudi Deysel as Managing Director. West Wits Mining is focused on the exploration, development, and production of high-value precious and base metals. The company’s flagship project is the Witwatersrand Basin Project, a 5.025Moz gold project located in South Africa. Deysel has been with the company for over four years and has overseen the development of the Qala Shallows project from a gold asset to an operating gold mine. His appointment to the board is effective upon meeting regulatory requirements, including obtaining an Australian Director Identification number.
Keith Middleton has also been appointed to the board as a Non-Executive Director. Middleton has worked with West Wits as a consultant for over two years and is familiar with the company’s projects. He brings extensive experience as a director of ASX mining companies, including leading American Rare Earths Ltd as Managing Director. The company stated that these appointments are expected to strengthen the board’s capabilities as West Wits progresses with its development plans at Qala Shallows.
Hulme Scholes will retire from the West Wits Mining board after approximately fourteen years of service. Scholes guided the company through the regulatory processes, securing the Mining Right and permits for the Qala Shallows project. With these key milestones achieved, Scholes has decided to step down as the company enters its operational phase. The board has expressed their gratitude to Scholes for his service and contributions to the company.
