Boliden's CFO, Johan Fant, is leaving the company at his own request to
take up the position of CFO at Axel Johnson AB.

Boliden have developed in the right direction.

“I would like to thank Johan for all his good work during his time with
us and wish him every success with his new challenges,” says Boliden's
President, Lennart Evrell.
