African Diamonds plc, the AIM and Botswana-listed diamond exploration company, said on Monday it had appointed Ribson Gabonowe as CEO of its wholly owned Botswana subsidiary, Kukama.
Recently, Ribson retired from his position of Deputy Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Local Government. He also served as Director of Mines in Botswana, overseeing the administration of mineral licenses as well as involvement in negotiations of major mineral agreements for diamonds, copper/nickel, soda ash and coal.
Ribson’s first assignment will be to work on the AK6 mining license application due to be submitted to the Botswana Government by the end of September 2007.
African Diamonds, in joint venture with De Beers, has a number of prospects in Botswana and is developing the AK6 diamond mine.
