Antofagasta board reshuffle as director resigns
Chilean miner Antofagasta confirms resignation of a non-executive director and appointment of two new board members amid ongoing governance review.
Antofagasta PLC said on Tuesday a non-executive director had resigned from the board, while two new members were appointed as part of a broader governance review.
The London-listed copper producer did not name the departing director or specify the reason for the resignation. The company added that the changes were approved by the board and took immediate effect.
Two new non-executive directors were appointed to replace the outgoing member and bolster the board’s oversight. Antofagasta said the appointments align with its commitment to maintaining strong corporate governance standards.
The board reshuffle follows recent scrutiny over governance practices in the mining sector, particularly in Chile, where Antofagasta operates its key mining operations. The company has not provided further details on the timing or scope of its governance review.
Antofagasta’s shares were unchanged in early trading on Tuesday, reflecting limited immediate market reaction to the announcement.
