Canyon appoints new nonexec director
ASX-listed Canyon Resources, which is developing the Minim Martap bauxite project, in Cameroon, has appointed Adjou Ait Ben Idir as nonexecutive director, with effect from July 14.
Based in Dubai, Ait Ben Idir is a corporate finance and mergers and acquisition (M&A) lawyer with more than 20 years of international experience across the Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) region.
She specialises in cross border M&A, privatisations, international joint ventures and special situations or boardroom crisis management in the mining, energy, transport and infrastructure sectors. She brings to Canyon a strong knowledge of different business and legal environments and systems across the EMEA region.
“As a leading corporate lawyer focusing on emerging markets and critical sectors such as mining and infrastructure, Adjou brings a different corporate background to our board, strengthens our capabilities and knowledge across several key areas and brings extensive experience operating in the Middle East and Africa.
“Adjou is an excellent addition to the Canyon board and I look forward to working with her, as we continue to execute on our growth strategy and develop the company into the next major ASX-listed bauxite producer. Canyon is delivering a company-defining year as we work towards the start-up of production at Minim Martap in early 2026," comments executive chairperson Mark Hohnen.
A 2022 bankable feasibility study outlined a 6.4-million-tonne-a-year operation at Minim Martap.
