Geologist for Namaqualand Mines and subsequently appointed General
Manager in 1995 overseeing a workforce of over 2,000. Richard was
appointed President and CEO of DeBeers Canada Corporation in 2000
based in Toronto. During the six years that Richard was in this
position approval was obtained for the construction of the Snap Lake
and Victor Mines. Mr Molyneux retired from DeBeers in May, 2006.
