Lonmin CEO confident in new chairperson as Phillimore set to exit
JOHANNESBURG (miningweekly.com) – Platinum producer Lonmin on Monday announced that independent nonexecutive director Brian Beamish had been appointed interim chairperson, as of May 1, as its chairperson Roger Phillimore would retire on April 30.
Lonmin CEO Ben Magara said Phillimore had been a great pillar of support for him since his arrival at Lonmin and would always be grateful for the support and wise counsel he invariably provided.
“I have known Beamish for many years and have the greatest respect for him personally, and for his considerable knowledge of the challenges facing the platinum mining industry. He is somebody I know I can work with in achieving our objectives in the years ahead,” he added.
Prior to joining Lonmin’s board in 2013, Beamish spent 36 years with the Anglo American group, primarily in operational and leadership roles.
“I am pleased that my successor is such an experienced and able leader. Brian has a deep knowledge of the South African mining industry and has already made a significant contribution during his short time on the board,” Phillimore noted.
