Prophecy Resource Corp. announced the appointment of David Jan as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer.
Mr. Jan is a Chartered Accountant and joins Prophecy from Western Coal Corp., where he held the position of Head of Investor Relations prior to its merger with Walter Energy Inc. In that role he significantly contributed in increasing Western Coal’s profile as it grew from a $50 million market capitalization junior coal mining company to a $3.3 billion global coal mining company. Over the past 20 years Mr. Jan has also held progressively senior financial positions in other natural resource companies.
“We are pleased to have David join the Prophecy management team, “said John Lee, Prophecy’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “His coal background is an excellent fit for the company. David’s expertise in capital markets in Europe and North America rounds out Prophecy’s skilled management set well.”
With Mr. Jan’s appointment, Ms. Plavutska, formerly the company’s Interim Chief Financial Officer, has been appointed Corporate Controller of the company. Ms. Plavutska has been the backbone of the company and continues to be an invaluable part of Prophecy.
