Dundee Precious Metals has announced that chairman Jonathan Goodman, who has held this position since 2013, will not be standing for re-election at the company’s 2022 annual meeting. The board of directors has determined that Peter Gillin, currently serving as deputy chair, will assume the chair position, subject to his re-election as a director at the annual meeting of shareholders to be held on May 5th 2022. Goodman founded DPM in 2003, serving as president and CEO until 2013, executive chair from 2013 to 2017 and as chair since 2017. During his tenure, the Company has transformed the Chelopech mine into a world-class underground operation, successfully developed Ada Tepe, Bulgaria’s first new mine in over 40 years, and has overseen the growth of DPM.

In a statement, Peter Gillin said: “on behalf of the board and DPM management, I would like to acknowledge and thank Jonathan Goodman for the pivotal contributions he has made since 2003 in his capacity as founder, shareholder, CEO, and now as chair of DPM’s board of directors. Starting with the acquisition of the Company’s Bulgarian assets and their transformation into world class operations, Jonathan has been an integral part of DPM’s growth into the leading environmentally and socially responsible mid-tier producer we are today. His strong leadership and guidance over the years established a strong foundation for the Company’s values, which has been critical to our success and will continue to serve us well going forward.”

“I am extremely proud of what we accomplished at DPM since the Company was founded in 2003,” said Goodman. “I believe we have built an exceptional company with a promising future, consisting of world-class assets, strong partnerships with stakeholders and a very unique culture. I have full confidence that DPM’s board and management will continue to build on these successes to deliver value for all stakeholders.”
