Lucapa Diamond Company has announced the appointment of industry veteran Stuart Brown as the new chairman of its board.
Brown brings extensive experience from his tenure at prominent diamond-mining companies, including De Beers, Firestone Diamonds, and Mountain Province.
With a career spanning two decades at De Beers, Brown served in key roles such as interim CEO and chief financial officer.
Notably, during his leadership at Firestone Diamonds, he successfully raised $225 million for the development of the Liqhobong mine in Lesotho.
Brown currently serves as a director of Ukrainian iron-ore miner Ferrexpo and Digby Wells Environmental Holdings, specializing in environmental, social, and governance (ESG) consulting for the mining sector.
Joining Brown on Lucapa’s board is Ronnie Beevor, whose background in investment banking and mining includes leadership roles at Rothschild Australia.
Beevor is currently a director of Champion Iron and Mount Royal Resources, and he chairs gold explorer Felix Gold.
In light of these appointments, Ross Stanley has resigned from Lucapa’s board, marking a transition in the company’s leadership.
