Board Change

BOARD CHANGE

TPJ, the AIM-quoted gold exploration company focused on South East Asia, announces that Patrick Gorman has resigned today as a non-executive director of the Company. This follows the announcement on 13 January 2011 that Patrick would chair the newly appointed Advisory Board. It is the view of Patrick and the Board that his role, and that of the Advisory Board, in advising the Company on the technical and field operating activities of the Company's exploration and pre-development efforts, will be better served by being completely independent of the Board of the Company.

Accordingly the Company's Board now comprises Fraser McGee (Chief Executive), Bill Howell (Exploration Director), Chris Goss (Non-Executive Director) and Tony Shearer (Non-Executive Chairman).

Tony Shearer said "I welcome Patrick's decision to reinforce the independence of the Advisory Board from the Board of the Company. With Patrick leading the Advisory Board and Fraser appointed as Chief Executive, I believe that the Company now has the appropriate skills, expertise and structure to enable it to deliver value for the shareholders."
