[miningmx.com] – LONMIN appointed two executives – Gary Nagle and Paul Smith – from majority shareholder GlencoreXstrata, but said it had to appoint a further independent non-executive in order to balance its board as neither Nagle nor Smith could be deemed independent.
Nagle, who is CEO of Glencore Xstrata’s alloys division and member of its global management committee, had joined the board as a non-executive director with immediate effect, along with Paul Smith, head of strategy and communications for Glencore Xstrata.
