London-based junior miner Kore Potash Plc, which is pursuing projects in the Republic of Congo, announced that acting CFO Amanda Farris has resigned, and that Andrey Maruta has been appointed as CFO (non-board), effective Dec. 11. Maruta will report directly to the CEO and is not joining the company’s Board of Directors at this stage.
Maruta was previously Kore CFO from August 2019 until June of 2021 when he left for another role within the mining industry. Farris will remain available for a brief period to facilitate a smooth handover. The Board expressed its gratitude to Farris for her contribution to the company.
Kore said Maruta is a Chartered Certified Accountant with over 25 years’ experience in the mining industry, including as CFO at Petropavlovsk Plc, which had a premium listing on the LSE. He also worked in the audit function at accountancy firm Moore Stephens International in the UK and internationally.
