The board of Australia- and Fiji-focused mineral explorer Conto Resources has undergone a spate of changes, with the resignations of Mike Ralston, Francis DeSouza and Jonathon King making way for the appointment of Steve Gemell and George Niumataiwalu.
Mr Gemell formed his own consultancy practice, Gemell Mining Engineers, in 1984, and remains principal.
Mr Niumataiwalu has been involved in mining in Australia, Fiji and Papua New Guinea for the past 20 years, including roles with Western Mining Corporation at the Kambalda nickel and St Ives gold mines.
