Tharisa Mine, a producer of platinum group metals (PGMs) and chrome concentrates, announced that Zhongliang Hong has resigned as a non-executive director and member of the risk, climate change, and sustainability committees, effective September 30, 2023.
He would be replaced by another Chinese national, Chen Hao, who represents Fujian Wuhang Stainless Steel, which holds 8.8% of Tharisa’s issued share capital with voting rights as of August 31, 2023.
Chen has more than 18 years’ experience as an engineer, foreign trade manager, and general manager. He will also serve on the risk, climate change, and sustainability committees of Tharisa.
The company’s principal operating asset is the Tharisa Mine, located in the south-western limb of the Bushveld Complex in South Africa.
The mechanised mine has an 18-year pit life and can extend operations underground by at least 40 years.
Tharisa also owns Karo Platinum, a low-cost, open-pit PGM asset under construction and located on the Great Dyke in Zimbabwe.
