The Financial Post reports in its Wednesday, Oct. 4, edition that Canada's Lundin Mining said chief executive officer Peter Rockandel has resigned and will be replaced by president and former director Jack Lundin. A Bloomberg dispatch to the Post reports that the announcement marks the latest in a wave of leadership departures since the Canadian mining company moved its headquarters from Toronto to Vancouver in September, prompting several executives and managers to step down. In a Monday press release, the company said Mr. Rockandel will leave his post at the end of the year and Mr. Lundin will assume the role Jan. 1. Mr. Rockandel will then continue to act as an adviser, Mr. Lundin said in the statement. Mr. Rockandel moved to Vancouver as part of the headquarters shift in September but said in a Monday interview he plans to return to Toronto, where his family resides. Mr. Rockandel said: "We wanted to ensure we got continuity over the next five years to carry out the next phase with the company. I was willing to commit to two or three years, but to commit to five would be a bit of a stretch. Family's important to me."
