Tanzanian Goldfields Limited, East Africa Metal Inc.‘s partner in Tanzania and developer of the Magambazi Project, has appointed Gareth Taylor as general manager.
Gareth Taylor has extensive experience in deep level, intermediate, shallow underground and open cast mining in a number of African countries including Mali, Namibia, South Africa and Tanzania. For 28 years he was employed by AngloGold Ashanti where he was head of mining and planning for the company’s East and West Africa regions and also managing director of the Geita Gold Mine in Tanzania. In 2006 Taylor joined Barrick Gold, where he was executive general manager for Barrick Gold Tanzania and vice president for Barrick Gold Africa, responsible for all Barrick’s operational interests in Africa. In 2010 he joined Shanta Gold Limited and held positions as COO and CEO whilst bringing the New Luika Gold Mine to production. Shanta was a company focused on small to medium sized orebodies with production in the 50,000-100,000 ounce per year range requiring relatively low capex with fast payback.
“East Africa’s board and management welcomes the appointment of Gareth Taylor to lead Tanzania Goldfield’s technical and operating team in the development of the Magambazi Project. Mr. Taylor has a depth of experience in mine development and mining operations in Tanzania that makes him the ideal candidate to advance our mutual interest in the Magambazi project,” said Andrew Lee Smith, president and CEO of East Africa Metals.
