"We warmly welcome Robert Ambrose to the board of Aminex and look forward to working with him as we, first, seek to complete the Ruvuma farm-out transaction and then progress development of the Ruvuma project as soon as possible. Robert's breadth and depth of experience across the industry will be of great benefit to the company," said Chair John Bell.
