Investment adviser to private equity funds investing in mining and mining-related companies Appian Capital Advisory has appointed Nelson Silva as the company’s senior safety and social performance adviser (SSSPA).

Nelson will assess and advise Appian and its portfolio companies on safety, environmental and community matters to ensure that standards are established and maintained across the business.

Appian says Nelson will work closely with the management teams of the firm’s operated assets, including Atlantic Nickel’s producing Santa Rita nickel/copper/cobalt project and Mineração Vale Verde’s copper/gold Serrote project, in Brazil, while also advising businesses in which the company holds a significant minority interest including Roxgold’s assets, in Burkina Faso and Côte d’Ivoire, Harte Gold’s Sugar Zone mine in Canada, Peak Resources’ Ngualla rare earth project, in Tanzania, and Kalbar Resources’ mineral sands project in Victoria, Australia.

Nelson will also assist Appian with its broader stakeholder initiatives and due diligence on future acquisitions from an environmental, health, safety and community perspective, to ensure that Appian’s strong record and operational excellence is maintained.

He has also been appointed as a trustee of Appian’s philanthropic vehicle, the Appian Way Charitable Foundation (AWCF), where he will play a central role in AWCF’s strategy and operations.

Nelson has spent more than 40 years in the natural resources sector, holding leadership roles with major international companies particularly focused on Brazil, coupled with strong environmental, health, safety and community relations experience.

Most recently he was chief strategy and performance officer and member of the executive team of Petrobras, and previously CEO of BG Group in South America.
