JOHANNESBURG (miningweekly.com) – London-based Kevin Tomlinson has been appointed nonexecutive chairperson of ASX-listed Plymouth Minerals, which is advancing a large-scale lithium/tin deposit in Spain.
Current executive chairperson Adrian Byass will assume the role of MD.
The company said in a statement on Thursday that Tomlinson had over 30 years’ experience in mining and finance within the Toronto, Australian and London stock markets and that his appointment to the board would add significant value to its assets.
Tomlinson’s previous roles include that of MD at Westwind Partners and the boards of Centamin and Medusa Mining. He is currently the nonexecutive chairperson of ASX-listed Cardinal Resources, which is developing a gold project in Africa.
Plymouth is earning a 75% stake in the San Jose lithium/tin project in Spain by updating an historic feasibility study, which involves openpit mining and a simple process flow sheet to produce lithium carbonate on site. The company plans to lodge a mining lease application for San Jose in the third quarter of this year.
Plymouth also owns potash projects on the coast of Gabon.
