The board of First Quantum Minerals has appointed Tristan Pascall to the role of CEO, and added Alison Beckett as an independent director.
The company in November announced that Mr Pascall would take over the role of CEO from his father, co-founder Philip Pascall, who held the position since 1996.
Philip Pascall remains chairperson of the board of directors.
The appointment of Tristan Pascall represents the culmination of a succession planning process led by independent directors on the board’s nominating and governance committee.
“We believe Tristan’s combination of operational, strategic and capital markets experience is fundamental to the continuity of our unique core capabilities, namely industry-leading project execution and operational excellence,” said chairperson of the nominating and governance committee and lead independent director Robert Harding.
He also thanked co-founder Clive Newall for his contributions to the growth and development of the company. Newall on Thursday retired from the board of directors.
Meanwhile, Beckett has a career spanning industry and consulting, including procurement and strategy consulting. She is currently group talent director at Ardagh Group and was previously an adviser providing leadership advisory services at Egon Zehnder
Rich will always be rich while the poor will always be poor. A good father leaves an inheritance for his children. Tarino what did your father leave you with
Computer Scientist – So what do you want to do with that information about my inheritance?
Computer scientist you have made me laugh. Why do you think tarino is so frustrated and negative. His father only left him his birth and death certificate. Wealthy people don’t run away to live abroad.
We can learn something from this about preparing for succession. I have started training my son to take over and made him aware of everything I own. The challenge is ensuring that he doesn’t relax knowing how much money his father has accumulated.
His Father worked his way from a Zim born Sussex University graduate through varies roles in the mining industry in various countries ie RSA, Zimbabwe, Australia etc. His son simply handed the position, I am sure he is highly qualified but was modelled for this role from day one…this how the wealthy keep it in the family.
I’m just wondering – please don’t bite my head off; who are these people, and what’s their relevance to ordinary Zambians?
#plant a tree please!
NOT SO LONG AGO WE HEARD ABOUT THE TR00LLS 2 LOVING DAUGHTERS KIKIKI

THE PROBLEM WITH L1ARS IS
THEY CANNOT REMEMBER WHAT THEY SAID ….
Tikki go to my faycebook and look at the picture showing my entire family. Then come back and reflect on your comment. You have gone abroad and forgotten your African culture and way of life. Do you know how many people I keep? You are a brain washed f00Iish African. Come back home
Zennia can’t your read simple English? Can’t you take the initiative to utilise Google? Or are you that lazy? Instead of planting trees, try and do more reading!
ZENNIA WILL EVENTUALLY LEARN THIS SITE IS NOT FOR THE FAINT HEARTED
THEIR RELEVANCE IS THEY ARE A HUGE MINING COMPANY CONTRIBUTING TO ZAMBIA’S WEALTH
AND DONT DUCK AND DIVE LIKE OTHER MINING COMPANIES
Thank you Tikki; at least, I now know the relevance of these people – a simple explanation LT could have included in their article. We all don’t live in Zambia to know every Jim & Jack’s business on the ground!
@ Kaizar – not worth my energy!
#plant a tree please.
KZ you’re absolutely right, you are now educating us young ones.
HK2 – No wonder you lack credible role models in Zambia that you are being educated by an online Troll/Impostor.
Zennia I am not asking you to use your energy on me. I am saying use your energy on researching and reading! You are very slow for a diasporan!
Oh, I’m sorry @ Kaizar, or, is it “smart Jack”?
