JOHANNESBURG (miningweekly.com) – Minerals explorer Beowulf Mining chairperson Bevan Metcalf has announced his intention to retire from his role with the company.

Metcalf, who has been serving as executive chairperson since May 2015, will retire once a successor has been appointed.

"Bevan played a key role in the turnaround of Beowulf, after we both joined the company as nonexecutive directors in September 2014.

"I am very grateful for his support throughout my time as CEO, and for his significant contribution to the development of the company.

"On behalf of Chris Davies, myself and everyone that has worked alongside Bevan at Beowulf, I wish Bevan a long and happy retirement,” commented CEO Kurt Budge.

Beowulf is focused on the Kallak magnetite iron-ore project and the Åtvidaberg polymetallic exploration licence in Sweden, and its graphite portfolio in Finland.
