Arc Minerals (LSE:ARCM) has named existing non-executive director Rémy Welschinger as its new Chief Executive Officer, with the appointment set to take effect on 2 January 2026. As part of the change, Welschinger will move into an executive director position, while current Executive Chairman Nick von Schirnding will step into a non-executive chairman role on the same date.

The board reshuffle follows Arc’s recent actions to reassert control over what it describes as some of Africa’s most attractive copper exploration licences. The company said the leadership transition marks a strategic reset and reflects its intention to strengthen execution as it advances its copper-focused portfolio across the continent.

With a background in finance and commodities, Welschinger is expected to bring relevant experience to the role as Arc Minerals seeks to unlock value from its repositioned African copper assets.
