As outgoing Chairman, Mr Watson commented: "It has been a great honour to serve as Chairman over the past decade and to witness the significant evolution of the Group over that time. I am proud of what has been achieved and confident in the continued growth of the Company. I thank the Board, the CEO and the Executive team for its commitment and support during my tenure and wish them all the very best for future progress and success."

 

The CEO, Fortune Mojapelo, commented: "Mr Watson was the inaugural Chairman for Bushveld Minerals when the company listed on AIM 10 years ago. During his tenure, the Company has undergone significant growth, transforming from an early stage exploration company into a significant vertically integrated vanadium producer. We wish him well and thank him for his service and leadership."
