MC Mining makes interim CEO permanent
JSE- and ASX-listed MC Mining has announced the permanent appointment of Yi (Christine) He as its MD and CEO, with effect from October 1.
She has been serving as interim MD and CEO since July 1, 2024, following former MD and CEO Godfrey Gomwe’s exit. Prior to that, she was a major active shareholder for more than 23 years.
She was instrumental in driving the transition of the company from an exploration focus to its current positioning towards sustainability through development, construction and the operation of globally competitive, cash-generative high-quality coal assets in South Africa.
She also played a pivotal role in raising equity, restructuring the cost base and appointing a new leadership team that has laid solid foundations for the company to, in particular, meet its target for coal production at the flagship Makhado coal project in the first quarter of the 2026 calendar year.
“We are privileged to have been able to secure Christine on a full time basis at a critical stage of the execution of our strategy. Christine is uniquely placed as a custodian of value for the various diverse stakeholders of MC Mining given her lengthy history with the company as a shareholder, record of delivery as an executive and knowledge of the business cultures that will contribute to our success,” MC Mining chairperson Mathews Senosi said.
She has a bachelor’s degree in English literature from Sichuan University and more than 20 years’ experience at senior management level. Her broad commercial experience includes, among others, the financing, development and execution of large construction and mining projects.
