RAPAPORT... Mountain Province has appointed Stuart Brown as its CEO, to succeed interim chief David Whittle, the Canada-based miner said Tuesday.
Brown (pictured), currently CEO of Firestone Diamonds, recently
announced he would leave the company on June 30. He was previously CFO of De
Beers, as well as joint acting CEO of De Beers’ global activities. Brown will
begin his role at Mountain Province on July 1.
“The board conducted an exhaustive search for the role, and
Stuart was a standout candidate for the depth of his background in the diamond
sector,” said Jonathan Comerford, Mountain Province’s non-executive chairman.
“Stuart has incredible experience in the space, having held the highest
positions in De Beers. He is also very familiar with the Gahcho Kué diamond
mine and its team from his time with De Beers.”
Mountain Province owns 49% of Gahcho Kué, with De
Beers holding the remaining 51%.
Whittle has been interim CEO of Mountain Province since Patrick Evans stepped down in June 2017. During his tenure, the miner completed
the acquisition of Kennady Diamonds. Whittle will remain on the board as senior
non-executive director and head of the audit committee.
