Northland Resources is making changes to its management team in connection with the previously announced organizational consolidation to Norrbotten.
- Now that we’ve taken the step of moving Northland home to Norrbotten, including the relocation of most managerial functions, it is a natural time to make several changes to corporate management.

The following changes are effective immediately:
- Jonas Lundström is now Senior Vice President – Environment, Health & Safety and Corporate Communications, which henceforth includes Investor Relations
- Hans Nilsson is now Vice President of Marketing & Logistics
