Lesego CEO joins Eurasia board, but no transaction on horizon

South Africa’s Lesego Platinum CEO James Nieuwenhuys has joined the board of Russian miner Eurasia Mining, but no potential transaction between the companies is on the horizon.

Eurasia previously said that the appointment of Nieuwenhuys to the board would only occur if a potential transaction with Lesego was to progress, but it stated on Tuesday that there had been a change of approach at board level.
