Ms Santchurn is a Member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales and holds a BSc in Accounting and Finance from the London School of Economics.

Chairman's Statement

 

Chairman Mladen Ninkov commented, "Needless to say, this is a difficult personal moment for me in the history of the Company. Of course I understand the need for lifting the proverbial foot off the accelerator, but it will be strange not to have Roger so intricately involved on a day to day basis, as he has been for 30 years. He has been at the forefront of many of the Company's vital moments, some pre-dating my involvement, including having performed a significant role in the admission of the Company's shares to AIM in 1997, the transformation of the Company from that of a mining finance house to a fully-fledged mining company and the funding and development of the Caijiaying Mine from a green field site to full production. Thankfully, we will still retain his experience on the Board for some time to come."
