Ivanhoe Mines announces
appointment of Rio Tinto executive Dan Larsen to company’s board of
directors
TORONTO, CANADA — David Huberman,
Chairman of Ivanhoe Mines, announced today that Dan Larsen, Rio Tinto’s
Controller and Global Head of Planning and Reporting, has been appointed to the
Ivanhoe Mines Board of Directors.
Rio Tinto’s nomination of
Mr. Larsen increases to seven the number of Rio Tinto appointees presently
on the 14-member Ivanhoe Mines board.
Under terms of the October 2006
private placement agreement between Rio Tinto and Ivanhoe Mines, Rio Tinto is
entitled to nominate members to the Ivanhoe board in proportion to Rio
Tinto’s shareholding in Ivanhoe. Rio Tinto has committed to maintain a
majority of independent directors on the Ivanhoe Mines board until
January 2014.
Rio Tinto increased its holding in
Ivanhoe Mines to 46.5% from 42.0% in late June 2011 through Rio
Tinto’s exercise of all remaining share-purchase warrants – which
also resulted in the allocation of an additional Ivanhoe Mines directorship to
Rio Tinto.
Mr. Larsen has been based in
London, England, as Rio Tinto Group Controller and Global Head of Planning and
Reporting for the past six years. He is a director of Rio Tinto International
Holdings Ltd., which holds Rio Tinto’s interest in Ivanhoe Mines.
Mr. Larsen joined Rio Tinto in 1992 and previously was a senior manager
with Ernst & Young’s mining practice.
Howard Balloch, a director of Ivanhoe
Mines since 2005, has relinquished his position to enable
Mr. Larsen’s nomination.
Mr. Huberman said
Mr. Balloch’s experience as Canada’s former ambassador to
China and Mongolia, and his career in Canada’s foreign service, had
greatly benefited the Ivanhoe Mines Board of Directors as the company pursued
the development of its Oyu Tolgoi copper-gold-silver mining complex in Mongolia
and other developments in the Asia Pacific region. Mr. Balloch is Chairman
of Canaccord Genuity Asia.
