RAPAPORT... Albert Milton, managing director of De Beers’
Botswana joint venture, has died, the company said Friday.
Milton passed away early Friday morning after becoming
unwell Thursday night in Johannesburg, where he was admitted to the hospital.
“De Beers is shocked and saddened by the sudden death of
Albert Milton,” the miner said. “We extend our deepest condolences to Albert’s
family, relatives and friends. Our thoughts are with them at this most
difficult time.”
A 25-year veteran of De Beers, Milton was promoted to
managing director of Debswana in November 2018. Prior to that, he served as
general manager of the company’s Jwaneng mine, and has held management
positions at other De Beers projects, including the Orapa, Venetia, Letlhakane
and Damtshaa mines.
Lynette Armstrong, Debswana’s chief financial officer, will
begin as acting managing director at Debswana immediately, De Beers
said.
The company will release further details regarding
arrangements for a memorial for Milton shortly.
