Lucapa Diamond appoints new CEO and MD

ASX-listed Lucapa Diamond Company, which holds a 40% interest in the Lulo mine, in Angola, and a 70% interest in the Mothae mine, in Lesotho, has appointed Nick Selby as CEO and MD.

Selby has served as interim CEO since August, following former CEO and MD Stephen Wetherall‘s resignation.

Selby, an extraction metallurgist, joined Lucapa in October 2014 as COO and was appointed executive director of operations in September 2017.

He began his career with De Beers, where he spent 19 years in a range of technical roles. He joined Gem Diamonds in 2005, where he was responsible for establishing diamond projects in countries including Angola, Australia, the Democratic Republic of Congo, the Central African Republic, Indonesia, Lesotho and Botswana.

Selby says he is delighted to take on the role of CEO and MD as Lucapa’s mining operations increase production and operational efficiencies and the company advances the search for the primary sources of the exceptional high-quality diamonds being recovered at Lulo.
