On November 3rd last year the Executive Chairman of African Minerals (AMI), Frank Timis, torpedoed his company’s critical strategic relationship with Shandong Iron and Steel Group (SISG). Mr Timis swooped in to devour the carcass of London Mining (LOND) and took personal ownership of the Marampa iron ore mine, Sierra Leone. African Minerals’ board “formally allowed” Mr Timis to proceed with this staggering act of reckless corporate greed, while the company’s discredited Nomad, Jefferies International, didn’t so much as utter a peep. On Friday African Minerals’ shareholders paid a bitter price for this abysmal regulatory oversight and devastating failure in corporate governance.
