Chief Financial Officer Christine Ramon becomes interim CEO on 1 September 2020, following the resignation of Kelvin Dushnisky.

Additionally, in 2005 the staff of the AGA exploration team in Ituri made a US$8,000 payment to the FNI, which had been accused of committing various humans rights abuses.
