Commenting on Mr. Schultz's appointment, SouthernEra chairman, Dr. Chris Jennings, said: "There are few international mining executives with the operating experience of Trevor Schultz. Through a distinguished career that has spanned more than 40 years, Trevor has contributed to the success of some of the world's major mining companies. His experience spans three continents and some of the most challenging operating conditions. We look forward to his valuable contribution on the SouthernEra board."
