Kincora Copper appoints Igor Kovarsky as its new president, chief executive officer, and member of its board of directors this week. Kovarsky succeeds Stephen Fabian, who will remain as the chairman of the board of directors and will provide support to Kovarsky as the program in Mongolia accelerates.

“I am particularly pleased that someone with the caliber and experience of Igor has agreed to join us at Kincora,” said Fabian. “His vast experience in all stages of mining from exploration through to the development of large mining projects in Mongolia will be invaluable for the Kincora Copper.”

Kovarsky has over 30 years of experience in the construction and minerals sectors, managing exploration, engineering, development, and mining operations in a number of large projects. He worked with Centerra Gold and its predecessor Cameco Gold since 1992, serving in various roles such as director and vice president.

His significant role in bringing the Kumtor Mine in Kyrgyzstan and Mongolia's Boroo Mine into full production has given him a valuable perspective for working in the region. He was instrumental in the acquisition of interest in the Australian gold exploration company AGR Limited, which led to the development of Boroo mine.

Kincora Copper is a mining exploration and development company focused on copper and gold deposits in Mongolia.  ts key asset is the Bronze Fox copper and gold deposit located in southeast Mongolia along the Oyu Tolgoi copper belt.
