He replaces Martyn Churchouse who will remain with the company as a senior consultant.
Mr Long is a mining specialist with stockbroking, management and business development experience in the extractive industries and financial services sectors.
Caerus said that his appointment was “to accommodate and promote the next phase of growth in the company’s business plan and oversee and advance expansion plans into Africa”.
The company added it wanted to gain a foothold and grow in the southern African states which hold tier 1 copper mines and “many opportunities for ambitious new entrants”.
Caerus’ portfolio comprises brownfield sites of historic mining, and greenfield licences where there has been no systematic exploration.
