Centaurus Metals (CTM) has announced the appointment of highly experienced geologist and Australian mining executive Chris Banasik to their board as a non-executive Director. Mr. Banasik will fill a board vacancy created by the departure of Mr. Steve Parsons, who has decided to step down from the Centaurus Board due to his growing work-load and commitments as Managing Director of Bellevue Gold Limited. With more than 31 years' experience across multiple disciplines and commodities, Mr. Banasik is a well-known and highly-regarded mining and exploration executive. Steve has decided to step off the Centaurus board to focus on his role as Managing Director of Bellevue Gold.
