“Johnny is a highly regarded mining executive, and he possesses a skill set and insights from a client perspective that will be a valuable addition to our board and the company as we execute our strategic objectives,” said chairperson Peter Mansell.

DRA said that Velloza would receive zero-exercise price options in lieu of 20% of his aggregate renumeration.
