Charles Kernot
It is with sadness that the committee of the Association of Mining Analysts informs members of the passing of Charles Kernot on 3 April 2012 after a short battle with cancer. Charles had been a supporter of the AMA for many years, a multiple Analyst of the Year award winner, and had most recently served on the executive committee since 2011.
As a friend, colleague, mentor, or even adversary, Charles will be remembered fondly by all who had the fortune to make his acquaintance. A cheeky smile, even in adversity, overlay a depth of knowledge and enthusiasm for all things mining related, highlighted by a number of publications written on the industry and its relationships with the financial markets. Throughout his 25 year career in the City, Charles was recognised as one of the leading mining analysts and was respected by all who recognised his contributions to the industry as a whole.
Charles will be remembered as much for his generosity of spirit as his intelligence and skill as an analyst. Many AMA members have him to thank for providing the encouragement and impartment of knowledge that has inspired many to join the sector.
For those members wishing to pass on personal condolences to the family please contact info@ama.org.uk for further details. In due course the committee will decide on a suitable way to recognise the enormous contributions Charles made to the AMA and the mining finance industry within London. Suggestions from members are welcome.
