SouthGobi Resources sacks second senior executive

SouthGobi Resources has fired its chief operating officer Curtis Church - the second dismissal of a senior executive - after Aluminum Corp of China (Chalco) cancelled its plan to acquire a controlling stake in the Canadian coal miner.

SouthGobi said in a filing to the Hong Kong stock exchange yesterday that the termination of Church was due to "failure to comply with his obligations" to the company.
