PERTH (miningweekly.com) – Graphite developer Syrah Resources has appointed Shaun Verner MD and CEO, effective February 3.
He succeeds Tolga Kumova, who tendered his resignation in October 2016.
Verner has been an executive GM for sales and marketing for Syrah since 2016, and was previously employed with mining major BHP Billiton for 20 years in a variety of executive roles.
Meanwhile, Syrah has also appointed Rob Schaefer chief commercial officer, with accountability for sales and marketing strategy, outbound logistics and strategic supply contracts.
Schaefer has previously held senior roles in WMC, BHP Billiton and most recently MMG.
Furthermore, after a period of four months acting as executive chairperson, Jim Askew will revert to his nonexecutive chairperson role. However, he will continue to support the development of the battery anode material qualification plant project, in Louisiana, and will support Verner in his capacity as MD and CEO over the next month.
