Dallaglio CEO resigns
Dallaglio Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and prominent mining personality Marc Nicolle has resigned.
Nicolle announced his resignation from the gold mining company on his LinkedIn account.
In reflecting on his time at Dallaglio, the outgoing CEO said he is grateful for the experiences and memories gained at the gold mining company. Nicolle said he is proud of what he has accomplished alongside the Dallaglio team and has every confidence that the company will continue to prosper under new leadership.
“As many of you know, it has been an incredible journey serving as the CEO of Dallaglio, the gold mining company that owns and operates Pickstone and Eureka Mines in Zimbabwe. It has been an honor to build and work with such a talented and dedicated team, and to be a part of the growth and success of the company.
After much consideration and reflection, I have decided to step down from my role as CEO and take a sabbatical to define what’s next. This decision was not an easy one, but I believe it is the right one for me at this time,” Nicolle said.
Nicolle’s decision to leave came as a surprise to many in the industry, however, he was applauded for his leadership role, technical expertise and bravery in taking the time to focus on personal growth and development.
“All the best Marc. In the short stint we worked together, I admired and learnt a lot from your business acumen and technical expertise. Here is to more ‘so what?’ analysis reports,”
“All the best for the future Marc Nicolle. You really laid the foundations for Dallaglio Gold Mining. I am sure the adventure will continue and the next challenges will be just as awesome. Good luck,”
With over 16 years of experience in the mining and metals value chain prior to joining Dallaglio Marc Nicolle worked at Outotec, a global process technology company, where he undertook several senior positions, including driving the growth of their hydrometallurgy business in Sub-Saharan Africa.
Marc holds a B.Eng in Chemical Engineering from Stellenbosch University.
Nicolle was instrumental in bringing back to life the Pickstone Peerless and Eureka gold mines which have grown to be one of the biggest gold producers in the country employing thousands. Eureka is arguably the most technologically advanced mine in Zimbabwe. The two mines averaged close to 160kgs of gold in 2022.
