Directorate Changes
Metals Exploration plc (AIM: MTL), the Philippine gold producer, announces the appointment of Mr Steven Smith as a Non-Executive Director of the Company with immediate effect. Steven has been appointed as the representative of MTL (Luxembourg) Sarl ("MTL (Lux)") and MTL (Lux)'s former representative, Andrew Stancliffe, has therefore stepped down from the board with immediate effect.
Steven is currently a director of Candy Ventures S.À.R.L, a Luxembourg based Venture Capital business, funded by British entrepreneur Nick Candy. Steven qualified as a Chartered Accountant at BDO and subsequently as a Chartered Tax Adviser whilst at KPMG. He lectured in Taxation at FTC for four years and then held a number of senior financial positions at large Public and Private Groups culminating in him being appointed as CFO of a FTSE 250 company. Steven now holds a range of Non-Executive roles at companies including Audioboom Group plc, an AIM quoted media business.
David Cather, Non-Executive Chairman of Metals Exploration, commented:
"It is with great pleasure we welcome Steven to the Board. His wide breath of experience will be a valuable addition as the Company continues its transformation into a mature profitable company. We acknowledge Andrew's significant contribution to the Board during what was a turbulent and challenging period for the Company. We wish him success in his next endeavours."
