Kingsrose appoints seasoned miner as new CEO

ASX-listed Kingsrose Mining Limited has recently appointed seasoned miner Paul Jago as the company?s new Chief Executive Officer.

Kingsrose said in a statement last week that Jago is a mining engineer with more than 20 years of operational and management experience across a diverse range of operations and commodities both in Australia and overseas.

He has held senior management positions with a number of companies including MACA Ltd, Golden Stallion Resources and over ten years in various roles at Kalgoorlie Consolidated Gold Mines. Mr Jago is currently a non-executive Director of Golden Eagle Mining, a public unlisted company.

The company said Jago?s previous roles have included the management of large open pit operations to smaller operations from pre-feasibility through to production.

Kingsrose Executive Chairman John Morris said in the statement that Jago?s skills and experience in the areas of open pit mine planning, management and ability to implement strategies to improve company performance were highly relevant to the company as it continued to restructure its operations at the Way Linggo gold mining project in Indonesia?s South Sumatra Province.

?Paul?s operational knowledge and management experience will be invaluable as we continue to push ahead with the open cut at the Way Linggo Mine and implement the necessary changes required to improve performance at the Talang Santo Mine,? Morris said.
