The second appointment is Jennifer Todhunter, who will now become VP of Financial Administration, having served as finance manager for the company since 2005.
Todhunter, who has spent the last 10 years working with publicly traded companies mostly within the mining industry, has knowledge in accounting and finance dealing.
"Jennifer has contributed significantly to our success over the years and we are delighted to recognize her contributions through this appointment,” said African Queen's CEO, Irwin Olian.
