Changes to the Board

19 Mar 2018 07:00

RNS Number : 0646I
Avocet Mining PLC
19 March 2018
 

 

 

Changes to the Board

 

 

Avocet Mining Plc (the "Company") announces today that Russell Edey has tendered his resignation as director and chairman of the board, effective immediately. Gordon Wylie and Jim Wynn have also tendered their resignations as Directors of the board of Avocet, effective immediately.

Barry Rourke will remain as Non-Executive Director of Avocet. Boudewijn Wentink will remain as Executive Director.

As announced earlier, the Company is taking all practicable actions to minimise its costs and streamline its remaining responsibilities, activities and group structure. The recent sale of its Burkina Faso assets and the disposal of Wega Mining is part of that larger restructuring effort - taking place against the background of on-going discussions between the Company and its sole creditor Elliott regarding the restructuring of its overdue loans of, in total, USD 29.2 million.

With the Company's stake in the Tri-K development joint venture with Managem now being its only asset, the size of the board is no longer appropriate.

In this context, Russell Edey has tendered his resignation as director and Chairman of the board, effective immediately. Gordon Wylie and Jim Wynn have also tendered their resignations as directors of the Board of Avocet.

Barry Rourke will remain as Non-Executive Director of Avocet with Boudewijn Wentink as Executive Director.
