ASX-listed West Wits Mining has announced a series of changes to its board of directors, including the appointment of current CEO Rudi Deysel as MD.

According to the company, Deysel has been with West Wits for more than four years and has overseen the advancement of the Qala Shallows project, in Gauteng, from a gold asset to a detailed mine plan and, most recently, an operating mine.

His appointment to the board is subject to regulatory compliance, including the successful submission of his application for an Australian director identification number.

The company has also appointed Keith Middleton as a nonexecutive director.

Middleton has provided consulting services to West Wits for more than two years and has prior experience as a director of ASX-listed mining companies. His previous roles include American Rare Earths MD and involvement with several other resource-focused entities.

West Wits stated that the appointments were intended to bolster the board’s capability as the company proceeds with development activities at Qala Shallows, which is part of its Witwatersrand Basin project.

In conjunction with the new appointments, West Wits also announced the retirement of Hulme Scholes from the board after 14 years of service. The company acknowledged Scholes’ role in guiding West Wits through the regulatory process, from the initial tenement acquisition to the award of a mining right and full project permitting for Qala Shallows. His departure comes as the company transitions into its operational phase.
