ON THE BOARD

MINING veteran Peter Hambro has rejoined Russian gold miner Petropavlovsk after being ousted by shareholders last year.

He co-founded the firm in the 1990s but was ditched last year amid a row over a strategy backed by Russian billionaire Viktor Vekselberg’s Renova Group. He will be president and a senior adviser.

His co-founder Pavel Maslovskiy and ex-UK ambassador to Russia Roderic Lyne returned to Petropavlovsk’s board earlier this year following a second shareholder revolt.
