Genmin Limited (ASX: GEN) Announces Leadership Changes
Leadership Changes
Emerging African iron ore producer, Genmin Limited (ASX: GEN), has announced significant leadership changes as it gears up for project build and operations. Mr Andrew Taplin has been appointed Chief Executive Officer, set to commence in March 2025.
Mr Taplin brings over 30 years of mining experience, with significant tenure at Rio Tinto in iron ore and copper divisions. The Board is confident that his extensive operational experience, particularly in West Africa, will enhance Genmin’s strategic direction. Greg Lilleyman, currently a non-executive director, will now serve as Board Chair. Former Chair, Michael Arnett, remains a non-executive director.
Newly appointed Chair Greg Lilleyman emphasised the Board’s satisfaction in securing Mr Taplin. “Andrew’s operational experience and language skills will provide a solid foundation for project build, and thereafter operations,” he stated.
Interim Leadership Transition
Current Interim CEO Andrew Haslam has completed his tenure and will transfer responsibilities to an interim management committee led by Mr Lilleyman until Mr Taplin’s start date. The Board extends its gratitude to Mr Haslam for his contributions during this transitional period.
These leadership appointments aim to position Genmin for future success as it progresses towards its goal of becoming Gabon’s first commercial iron ore producer, with commercial production expected to commence in early 2026.
