Simon Lee AO, the Chairman of Emerald Resources' (ASX: EMR) board, has stepped down from his position, with Jay Hughes, a Non-Executive Director, succeeding him as Chair, while Lee retains his position as a Non-Executive Director on the board.
Under Lee's leadership, Emerald has grown from a small explorer to a significant gold producer with operations in Cambodia, and Australia, including the recent acquisition of Bullseye Mining.
“There is no doubt that Simon’s leadership, drive, wisdom, and understanding of markets across the globe have been instrumental to Emerald’s growth to where we are today,” said EMR's new Chair, Jay Hughes.
