Canadian mining company New Gold on Tuesday announced the appointment of Yohann Bouchard as executive VP and COO and the promotion of Ankit Shah to executive VP for strategy and business development.

New Gold also announced the appointment of Luke Buchanan as VP of technical services and Jean-François Ravenelle as VP of geology.

Bouchard was senior VP and COO at Yamana Gold, where he was responsible for that company’s mining operations in the Americas. Buchanan also previously worked at Yamana, which was recently bought by Pan American Silver.

"I am very pleased to have Yohann join our team. He brings an impressive record of operational excellence, technical knowledge, and a strong commitment to health and safety and growth to New Gold during an exciting time for our company," New Gold president and CEO Patrick Godin said.

"In addition, Luke's broad technical knowledge and strategic vision and Jean-François' extensive knowledge in structural geology and exploration, will be assets to our team as we continue to advance growth opportunities and sustained production at our operations.

"I am also pleased to have Ankit join our senior leadership team. He has been instrumental in the transformation of the company in recent years, including the divestment of the Blackwater project, as well as executing the strategic partnership with the Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan at the New Afton mine. Ankit will continue to have responsibility for the company's strategy, business development and capital markets activities, including investor relations," added Godin.
