Passing of Brent Villemarette, Non Executive Director
Â
It is with great sadness that the Board of 88 Energy Ltd (88E) acknowledge the passing of Brent Villemarette, one of 88 Energy Ltd's Directors. Brent's passing was unexpectedly sudden; however, was related to a known health condition.
Â
Brent was a loyal servant to 88 Energy Ltd, and its shareholders, through several tumultuous periods and was a key figure in the successful rebirth of the Company.
Â
With over 35 years of resources sector experience in petroleum engineering, his career highlights included senior technical and management roles principally with Apache Energy Corporation and subsequently with start-up companies; Latent Petroleum and Transerv Energy and, significantly, his time with 88 Energy Ltd (formerly Tangiers Petroleum Ltd at the time of his appointment to the Board).
Â
Our deepest condolences go out to Brent's wife, family and friends at this very difficult time. He will be sadly missed by the Board and the team at 88E.
Â
Managing Director, Dave Wall, commented: "Brent was pivotal in steering the previous iteration of 88 Energy Ltd through an extremely difficult period and his dedication was unwavering, despite the adversity.
Â
He also provided support and advice to me, personally, and his insights and gentle manner will be greatly missed. "
