Desormeaux becomes Endeavour president as Semafo deal is wrapped up

Benoit Desormeaux has joined the TSX-listed Endeavour Mining as president, following the completion of the company’s C$1-billion deal to create West Africa’s largest gold miner.

Desormeaux was the CEO and president of Semafo, which Endeavour bought.

Semafo’s CFO, Martin Milette, was set to be group CFO, but he has informed Endeavour that, for personal reasons, it is not feasible to relocate to London.
