“The Board of Directors wishes to inform employees and stakeholders that Trevor Miles Barnard has tendered his resignation as Chief Executive Officer of Mutapa Gold Resources (MGR), effective 1 May 2026,” Board Chairman Charles Chikaura said in a statement released Tuesday evening.
Barnard, a former chief executive of Kuvimba Mining House (KMH), is credited with steering both KMH and MGR through critical phases of growth and strategic realignment.
“On behalf of the Board, we would like to express our sincere appreciation to Trevor for his dedicated service and leadership during his tenure,” Chikaura said.
The board noted that Barnard “played a significant role in strengthening KMH as well as MGR’s strategic direction, driving growth and overseeing key projects.”
