Iscor Announces Board Of Directors For Kumba Resou31 May 2001
ISCOR LIMITED
The board of Iscor Limited has announced the composition of the board of
directors for its mining operations which will be housed in a new company to
be called Kumba Resources Limited.
The announcement forms part of the unbundling process currently underway at
Iscor that will result in the formation of two entities: one for steel - the
existing Iscor Limited - and one for mining - Kumba Resources - both of
which will be listed on the JSE Securities Exchange.
The new Kumba board will consist of fifteen directors - five executive
directors and ten non-executive directors. One position has yet to be filled
and a further announcement will be made in due course.
As previously announced, Hans Smith, currently the executive chairman of
Iscor Limited, will become non-executive chairman of Kumba Resources and Con
Fauconnier, Iscor's executive director for mining operations, will assume
the role of chief executive of the new company.
The new executive directors for Kumba are Mike Kilbride (business
operations), Charles Meintjes (corporate services), Richard Wadley (strategy
and business development) and Dirk van Staden (finance).
Existing Iscor non-executive directors who will become non-executive
directors of the new company are Tom de Beer, Colin Fenton, Jurie Geldenhuys
and Len Konar.
Other non-executive directors who are to be appointed and who will assume
their roles after the unbundling are Dawn Marole, Allen Morgan, Sipho Nkosi
and Nick Segal.
Iscor Limited chairman, Hans Smith said that he was delighted with the new
appointments as they combine the talents and skills of a number of Iscor
senior mining executives with the experience of respected South African
business personalities.
Con Fauconnier, chief executive designate for Kumba Resources, said the
formation of the new board establishes the foundation for the strategic
guidance of the new company towards solid future performances.
"My team and I are looking forward to working under the direction of the new
board."
