I think that Stephen Dattels may have his old mate form the UraMin days, John (Ian) Stalker, currently Acting CEO of Niger Uranium, in mined to replace Peter Mc.
The following is from Niger Uranium's website:
Ian Stalker aged 57 Acting CEO
Mr. Stalker was the Chief Executive Officer of UraMin, a London- and Toronto-listed uranium company from July 2005 until its acquisition by Areva in August 2007 for US$2.5 billion. He has over 30 years of mining experience in Europe, Africa and Australia and has worked his way up from operational roles in base and precious metals companies to senior project development and director positions with some of the largest mining companies in the world. Prior to joining UraMin, Mr. Stalker was at Gold Fields Ltd., the world’s fourth largest gold producer. At Gold Fields, he managed the company’s PGE project in Finland starting in 2001 and eventually became a Vice President and responsible for all of the company’s projects in Australia and Europe in 2004. Prior to Gold Fields, he worked at Lycopodium, an engineering, mining, and metallurgical consultancy company, where he was responsible for new business in Africa and also managed projects around the world. From 1998 to 2000, Mr. Stalker worked as a consultant on various projects located in Africa, including the Langer Heinrich uranium project in Namibia. He also worked as a managing director at Ashanti Goldfields Company Limited from 1996 to 1998, where he was responsible for implementation of all the company’s large-scale projects in Africa.
