In the glow of a new joint partnership between Saracen Minerals and Northern Star Resources, KCGM has announced a new General Manager.
Kous Kirsten started in the role from Monday February 17 and has replaced Ben Wessely. The decision of Mr Kirsten was made by the KCGM JV Executive Committee which members are from both Saracen and Northern Star.
“This is an exciting time for KCGM and Kalgoorlie Boulder. KCGM is 100% WA owned for the first time in 30 years. We are wholly-focused on continued safe production, realising future growth opportunities and creating shared value with the local community, and our Joint Venture owners” Mr Kirsten said.
Mr Kirsten has experience in open pit and underground mining and processing in Australia and Africa and thanked former GM Ben Wessely for his guidance and transitional support.
