SolGold appoints new CEO

SolGold has appointed Alan Martin as its new Chief Executive Officer, the copper and gold miner announced Friday.

He replaces Nicholas Mather who will continue to remain an executive director of the company to assist in the handover period over the next year to two years.

Martin has more than 20 years of technical, commercial and financial investment experience in the Australian resources industry.

He has worked at Delta Gold and major Australian bank Westpac.

The businessman was last working at Colonial First State Global Asset Management.

"I am very much looking forward to the challenge of leading and growing Sol Gold together with its existing management team," Martin said.

Martin already has a personal interest in 9.2m shares in the company, having invested $200,000 in the recent placement.
