Ivanhoe promotes Marna Cloete to president

Canadian miner Ivanhoe Mines has promoted Marna Cloete to the position of president of the company, in addition to her existing role as CFO.

Cloete will replace Tony Giardini, who would leave Ivanhoe mines after a “short transition period”, the company said on Wednesday.

Giardini returned to Ivanhoe last year to succeed Lars-Eric Johansson as president when he retired as president and CEO at the end of June.
