Kingsgate Consolidated Limited announced the appointment after a restructure of the company's finance and administration functions and implementation of further cost savings measures. Mr. Ross Coyle, Chief Financial Officer, will in addition to that role be appointed as Company Secretary following the resignation of Mr. Paul Mason from the position to take up a posting with Kingsgate's wholly owned Thai subsidiary Akara Resources, as a Commercial Manager based at the Chatree Mining Complex in Thailand.

These measures are part of improved efficiency savings being implemented across the group, to minimise costs in the current gold price environment. This appointment is effective from 7 December 2015.
