Swanepoel joins Thor Explorations board
Bernard Swanepoel has joined the board of Canadian mineral exploration company Thor Explorations, which is focused on the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties in Nigeria, Senegal and Côte d'Ivoire.
The Aim- and TSX-V-listed company's flagship asset is the Segilola gold mine, in Nigeria. It is also advancing the Douta project, in Senegal.
Swanepoel is a South African mining executive who has spent 25 years of his 40-year mining career in senior and executive management roles. He served as CEO of Harmony Gold from 1995 to 2007, during which the company transformed into one of the world's largest gold producers.
He has served 11 years on the board of Sanlam Limited, 15 years on the board of African Rainbow Minerals and is chairperson of Manganese Metal Company.
He also serves on the boards of Impala Platinum Holdings, Zimplats and African Exploration Mining and Finance Corporation, while co-leading the strategy consultancy THINKspiration.
"We are delighted to welcome Bernard Swanepoel to Thor's board of directors. Bernard brings a wealth of expertise and experience built over 40 years in the mining industry, which will further strengthen the board at this critical period as the company prepares to build its second mine, transition to underground mining at Segilola and develop into a midtier gold producer. We look forward to working with him in our team," comments Thor Explorations president and CEO Segun Lawson.
