IGO has announced the resignation of Johan van Vuuren as its chief financial officer, effective immediately.
In a brief statement to the market on Wednesday morning, the lithium miner said both parties “have agreed that the position is not the right fit”, with IGO boss Ivan Vella wishing Mr van Vuuren well for his future endeavours.
IGO said it had already taken steps to secure an interim solution for the position, while searching for a permanent replacement.
Mr van Vuuren began the role on April 1, on the back of being appointed in early-December.
Upon the announcement of his appointment, Mr Vella said Mr van Vuuren’s skillset would likely be a real asset for IGO.
“His finance and commercial skills will be instrumental in delivering the company’s refreshed strategy, whilst maintaining high standards of governance and financial transparency,” Mr Vella said in an ASX statement on December 2.
“He also brings considerable expertise in digital transformation which will be leveraged to drive efficiencies and create new opportunities.”
Late last week, IGO released its March 2026 quarterly report, confirming it had cut its lithium production guidance, with Mr Vella describing overall production at the Greenbushes lithium mine during the reporting period as “disappointing”.
Despite a series of metrics – feed grade, safety, plant reliability, maintenance execution and recoveries – being challenged during the quarter, Mr Vella said he was confident the situation would improve in due course.
IGO last traded at $7.55, up 1 per cent, as of 1.21pm AWST.
