Glencore Xstrata says will appoint a female director by year-end

LONDON, May 20 (Reuters) - Miner and commodity trader Glencore Xstrata (Other OTC: GLCNF - news) will appoint a female director to its board by the end of this year, chairman Tony Hayward said during the company's annual general meeting with shareholders.
