Guyana Goldfields Inc. has appointed Suresh Kalathil as senior vice president and chief operating officer.
Suresh Kalathil is a mining engineer with more than 25 years’ experience working in open pit and underground operations and major projects around the world. He is a Certified First Class Mine Manager and a trained Six Sigma ‘Black Belt’.
Suresh Kalathil is joining Guyana Goldfields from IAMGOLD, where he served as general manager of Rosebel Gold Mine in Suriname. He led the overall operational and strategic transformation of Rosebel as IAMGOLD embarked on driving efficiencies out of every aspect of the operation’s value chain leading to improved productivity, substantial reduction in all-in sustaining costs (AISC) and increased reserve base to transform it into a profitable, cornerstone asset.
His appointment is the fourth senior hire the company has made as it takes steps to professionalize all aspects of its business following the termination of the former executive chairman.
“Suresh will be a great addition to our team. His extensive international experience managing mining operations and projects will be of great value as we advance our understanding of the geology and gold mineralization at the Aurora Gold Mine and refocus our exploration efforts,” said Scott Caldwell, president and CEO.
“I welcome the opportunity to join the team at Guyana Goldfields. There is a real potential to create sustained shareholder value by integrating and growing open pit and underground operations in a safe and cost-efficient manner,” said Suresh Kalathil.
