"Andrew, obviously is less of a name as I am in this particular market because he's been missing for two to three years anyway working in Russia,'' Mr Hegarty said. "I think he will build up a significant profile and I think the Oxiana shareholders are going to be very happy with his performance.'' The merger will create the world's second largest zinc producer, with a significant position in copper, lead, gold and silver. Oxiana shares closed up 12 cents at $3.45, while Zinifex put on 49 cents to $10.49.
