Western Mining Network Ltd. said Oct. 5 that newly appointed nonexecutive director Don Carroll is assuming the role of chairman.

He replaces Nathan Taylor, who resigned but remains as a nonexecutive director for an interim period.

The company also appointed Ariel King, the nonexecutive chairman of Lindian Resources and Cabral Resources, as nonexecutive director. His appointment followed the resignations of Budi Santoso and Andrew Houtas.

Western Mining also said there are no assurances that the renewal application, which expired Aug. 12, of its Persada gold tenement in Indonesia will be successful or can be retained on satisfactory terms.
