AngloGold Ashanti Ltd. said Tuesday that its board has appointed Alberto Calderon as its new chief executive officer, effective from Sept. 1.

The South Africa-based gold miner said Mr. Calderon was CEO of explosives maker Orica Ltd. until March of this year, having previously held senior executive roles at BHP Group PLC.

Christine Ramon will remain as interim CEO until Mr. Calderon takes up his new position. She will then resume her role as AngloGold Ashanti's chief financial officer, the company said. She became interim CEO after the departure of AngloGold's former CEO Kelvin Dushnisky last year.
