Nevsun CFO Resigns

In a terse, 101-word announcement, Vancouver-based and Eritrea-operating gold-mining company Nevsun Resources announced the departure of its CFO on Wednesday.

As Nevsun described it, Chief Financial Officer Fausto Taddei has resigned "with immediate effect to pursue other business opportunities." A replacement is being sought, but in the meantime, the company's former CFO -- now President and Chief Executive Officer -- Cliff Davis will serve as acting CFO in addition to performing his other duties.

Nevsun shares had risen 2.8% in Wednesday trading, closing at $3.61, before the resignation was announced.
