Bacanora appoints new director

Mark Hohnen has been appointed to the board of directors of Bacanora Minerals, the exploring group said on Friday.

The London-listed company said Hohnen, who is currently on the board of Swakop Uranium, which is developing the world's second largest uranium mine and the largest mine development in southern Africa, will join the company once his appointment receives regulatory approval.

“We are delighted to have attracted such an experienced and qualified operator as Mark, whose proposed appointment significantly strengthens our board and represents another positive endorsement of the Sonora Lithium Project and our ongoing progress in developing our assets,” said group chairman Colin Orr-Ewing.

Bacanora shares were up to 0.26% to 76.70p at 0953 GMT on Friday.
