Tietto Minerals announced it has appointed Matt Wilcox as its Managing Director. Mr. Wilcox's appointment follows Tietto Managing Director and Founder Dr. Caigen Wang's decision to retire. Dr. Wang founded Tietto more than 13 years ago, and led it through exploration and resource development to become Africa's newest gold producer.

Mr. Wilcox moves into the new role from his current position as Tietto's Chief Operating Officer and Executive Director. He oversaw the team which constructed and commissioned the Abujar gold plant on time and below budget, and has played a leading role in its gold production ramp up.
