Anglesey Mining plc has appointed Jonathan (Jo) Battershill as new chief executive, replacing Bill Hooley, and a director with effect from 1 August 2021.
The group also hopes to appoint in the coming weeks two non-executive directors.
Mr Battershill, 50, is a mining geology graduate from Camborne School of Mines and has extensive operational and financial experience in Australia and in the UK.
After a long period working with Western Mining Corporation in Australia, he joined a broking house in Perth in Western Australia.
For the past 13 years he has worked for UBS and then for Canaccord, firstly in Sydney and since 2015 in London.
Most recently until the end of June, Mr Battershill was Canaccord head of sales and distribution of Australian equities into the EMEA region, with a focus on metals and mining.
He was part of Canaccord’s mining ECM/sales team that placed some $3bn since January 2020.
Early in his mining career he worked as an underground miner at the South Crofty tin mine in Cornwall while attending the School of Mines.
