Tungsten West plc has appointed Neil Gawthorpe as chief executive officer with immediate effect and to the board imminently.
He takes up the post after the company’s co-founder and former CEO Max Denning left in July 2022.
Mr Gawthorpe has nearly 30 years’ experience in the mining industry, working in various roles, both operationally and as a consultant across multiple jurisdictions.
Most recently he was senior vice president business development at Allied Gold, where he was responsible for the due diligence on potential mergers and acquisitions, as well as leading transitional management and integration at newly acquired assets.
Mr Gawthorpe also spent nine years as part of the executive team at Sierra Rutile Ltd.
He transformed a struggling operation into the world’s largest rutile producer, before being sold for for more than $400 million.
Mr Gawthorpe holds a Bachelor of Engineering (Hons) in Mineral Engineering from the University of Leeds.
