Outstanding appointment. Looks like Conti are serious about the Colombia & USA opportunities. Given Johan's experience with Anglo in Australia, surely Conti will be looking to pick up some promising Aussie coal assets too (on the cheap, mind you!). A name change might be appropriate soon: "InterContinental Coal" ?
“The appointment of Johan Bloemsma, an exceptionally experienced senior coal mining executive, is a further sign of where we are positioning Continental Coal for the future. His strategic thinking, experiences in mergers, acquisitions and organic growth with Anglo Coal across technical, legal and commercial disciplines in multiple jurisdictions from grass roots exploration through feasibility studies to construction and into production are key attributes that he brings to the Board of Continental” said Mr Don Turvey, Chief Executive Officer of Continental Coal.
“Johan is a tremendous addition to the Board of Continental, a Board that has been strengthened dramatically over the past month with the addition of Mike Kilbride as Independent Non-Executive Chairman and Connie Molusi as a Non-Executive Director. Continental is positioned for substantial growth and with the support of these experienced professionals and our strategic partners such as ABSA Capital, SIOC-cdt, EDF Trading, KORES, Investec and GMP, the Company’s executive management team is well placed to deliver.” Mr Turvey added.
