Benoit Desormeaux has joined 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 in an all-share transaction.
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.
Henri de Joux, executive VP of people and information technology at Endeavour, is currently acting as interim CFO.
