Just last week, Alex Gaft, an ENRC corporate investigator, had left the company and last week Jim Cochrane, Chief Commercial Officer, suddenly departed.
ENRC operates in multiple locations, including Kazakhstan, China, Russia, Brazil, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Zambia, Mozambique and South Africa.
The group's strategy aims to bridge its current position as a diversified natural resources group largely based in Kazakhstan to its future opportunities as a more broadly based international mining group. Some 65,000 of its 70,000-strong staff base are located in Kazakhstan.
