Further to the announcement on 12th January 2015, the Company announces that Tony Shearer has resigned as Non-Executive Chairman and he and Patrick Gorman have resigned as Non-Executive Directors. Both resignations will take effect from about 16th March 2015. At the same time Bruce Kay will join the Board as Non-Executive Chairman and Tim Coughlin will join as a Non-Executive Director. Chris Goss and Simon Bullock will remain on the Board as Non-Executive Directors.
Outgoing Chairman Tony Shearer said:
"I am delighted that Bruce has agreed to take over as Chairman. He knows the Company well and his excellent knowledge of, and achievements in, geology and mining, as well as his industry contacts, are well-known; they are what Aurasian needs at this this stage of its development. In addition, Tim's background and achievements in exploration geology will be of great benefit to the Company as it moves forward.
I am very grateful to Patrick for all he has done for the Company: He has given a great deal of his time, and has provided very wise advice. I am glad that he has agreed to continue to provide consultancy services to Aurasian on a project by project basis in the future."
Incoming Chairman Bruce Kay stated:
