Chesser Resources (CHZ) has appointed experienced resources executive Andrew Grove as CEO, effective February 1.

Andrew has over 30 years of commercial, technical, and financial experience in the global resources sector.

He has worked across all stages of resource projects such as at the Sunrise Gold Dam project in WA and multiple African gold projects.

Andrew’s most recent role was Group General Manager Business Development and Investor Relations at Perseus Mining (PRU).

Additionally, he spent 14 years with Macquarie Bank’s Mining Finance and Risk Management Groups.

“The Chesser team has achieved great exploration success at the Diamba Sud project in a relatively short period of time,” Andrew said.

“I am excited to be joining the team at this critical stage of the development of Diamba Sud and will prioritise visiting the project as soon as possible after my appointment,” he added.

Andrew will replace Michael Brown, who’s stepping down. However, he will remain in an advisory position to assist with a smooth transition.

“Andrew’s unique blend of technical expertise, substantial project financing and capital markets experience, and exposure to African gold mining projects makes him well suited to leading Chesser through the critical next phases of its development,” Chairman Mark Connelly commented.

“Having confirmed a significant gold discovery at the Diamba Sud project, the Board of Chesser is transitioning the group’s focus from exploration to resource definition and project development,” he added.

Chesser is up 2.08 per cent and shares are trading at 24.5 cents at 11:29 am AEDT.
