Star Diamond Corp. has appointed Ewan Mason as CEO after more than a year of his serving as interim chief.
Mason, who took on the responsibility in January 2023 following the retirement of Ken MacNeill, has been a director of the Canada-based miner since 2017 and also serves as chairman of its board. He will continue to serve in that capacity, Star Diamond said Friday.
“Since he was appointed as interim CEO…Ewan’s leadership has been integral in the successful negotiation process and the coming acquisition of Rio Tinto’s 75% interest in the Fort à la Corne diamond district,” said Lisa Riley, lead director of the board. “He also continues to build strong relationships with our employees, shareholders and stakeholders, all while maintaining focus on shareholder value.”
Star Diamond owns the Fort à la Corne diamond exploration project in Saskatchewan, Canada. The company, which previously held a 25% stake, bought joint-venture partner Rio Tinto’s 75% share in November.
