Fortuna Silver Mines has announced that Simon Ridgway has stepped down as Director and Chair of the Board of the company. With the renewed strength in the mining and metals sector, he will be focusing his efforts on the exploration companies under his management, which is his passion.
Jorge A. Ganoza, President and CEO, commented: “On my own behalf and on behalf of the Board of Directors, I would like to thank Simon for his invaluable contributions and insights throughout his tenure as a director. He was a founder of the company 16 years ago, and in his position as Chair of the Board, has guided Fortuna’s strong growth over the years.”
