The new board members were Allan Mashingaidze, Anna Kunda, Flora Ngwenya, Edward Mazoredze, Roger Williams and Valentine Vera.
Chitando said the board would soon appoint its chairperson.
“The board will meet and then appoint the chairperson. The chairperson is not being appointed by shareholders, but by the board,” he said.
Government is the largest single shareholder in the company, while businessman Nicholas van Hoogstraten also holds a significant stake in the mining concern.
The announcement came at a time the company was in the process of implementing a strategic document aimed at getting into a phase of positive cash generation.
In the short term, the company is expected to produce about
