Commenting on the development, Caledonia chairman Leigh Wilson said, “I am delighted to welcome our colleague Dana onto the board.

“He is a highly respected professional engineer with a long track record in the mining industry. His contribution to Caledonia as Chief Operating Officer over the last 9 years has been outstanding – in particular, his contribution to the successful implementation of the Central Shaft project at Blanket Mine: Dana was responsible for this project from its initial design stage in late 2014 to its commissioning in March 2021. Over this period, Blanket’s production has increased by over 60 per cent from less than 42,000 ounces of gold in 2014 to over 67,000 ounces of gold in 2021. Following the successful completion of the Central Shaft, we anticipate production at Blanket Mine increasing further to approximately 80,000 ounces of gold per annum from 2022 onwards1

“Under Dana’s leadership, Caledonia’s technical team has been substantially strengthened which puts us in a good position to embark on new projects which I expect will be an integral part in achieving the board’s strategic vision for the Company to become a multi-asset gold producer.”

I will continue in my capacity of Chief Operating Officer to oversee the operational team as we continue to strengthen and grow the business.”
