Hecla appoints former Newmont, Rio Tinto exec as director
US-based silver miner Hecla Mining on Thursday announced the appointment of Dean Gehring to its board of directors.
Gehring currently serves as a board adviser at Allonnia, a bioengineering company innovating recovery, tailings and environmental solutions for the mining industry.
Over his 34-year career, he has held executive roles at leading mining companies, including chief technology officer for gold miner Newmont and president and CEO of diversified miner Rio Tinto.
“His [Gehring’s] technological expertise and industry knowledge make him an exceptional addition to Hecla,” said Hecla president and CEO Rob Krcmarov.
“Dean's career began as an intern at our Lucky Friday mine in 1988, and we are pleased to have him return to contribute to Hecla's future growth.”
A licensed professional engineer and project management professional, Gehring holds a B.S. in Mining Engineering from the University of Idaho and an M.S. in Project Management from the University of Aberdeen.
He has contributed to university advisory boards, co-chaired the SME Foundation Corporate Giving Committee, and received both the SME Ben F Dickerson Award and SME Fellow Award for his contributions to the mining industry.
