RAPAPORT... Dominion Diamond Corporation’s new owner has appointed
Patrick Evans as CEO of the Canada-based miner.
Evans (pictured) will take charge of Dominion once the Washington
Companies’ $1.2 billion acquisition of the rough producer closes later this
year, the firms said. He was CEO of Mountain Province Diamonds — De
Beers’ joint-venture partner in the Gahcho Kué mine — until his resignation
in June.
“Having operated a mining company in the Northwest
Territories, Patrick already has a familiarity with the region and strong
relationships with local officials and indigenous leaders,” Washington Companies president Lawrence Simkins said.
Washington, a mining group founded by entrepreneur Dennis
Washington, agreed to buy Dominion last month. At the time, it said it planned
to keep the miner as a standalone business while appointing a new, Canada-based
CEO. Evans’s predecessor at Dominion, Brendan Bell, had already stated his
intention to leave ahead of the company’s main-office move from Yellowknife to
Calgary. |
