( 'Goldplat', t he 'Group' or 'the Company ')
Appointment of Chairman and Appointment of Non-Executive
Director
Goldplat plc, the AIM listed gold producer, with international
gold recovery operations located in South Africa and Ghana,
announces the appointment of Gerard Kisbey Green, a Non-Executive
Director of the Company, as Non-Executive Chairman of the Company
with immediate effect, succeeding Matthew Robinson who now stands
down as Chairman of the Company as envisaged in the announcement of
6 May 2022. In addition, the Company announces the appointment of
Gerard Kemp as a Non-Executive Director of the Company with
immediate effect.
Gerard Kisbey Green has been a director of Goldplat for more
than 7 years, in an executive and subsequently a non-executive
capacity. With an in-depth knowledge of the Group, as well as
significant industry and investment banking experience, the Company
believes that he is well qualified to guide the board of
directors.
Before founding M Squared Resources (Pty) Limited, Gerard Kemp
held various positions in investment banking and the mining
industry, including the CEO of Kaouat Iron Limited and the Head of
the Pamodzi Resources Investment Fund, where he founded Rand
Uranium (Pty) Limited. He also served as director of business
development at Rand Merchant Bank, where he spearheaded a number of
South Africa's largest Black Economic Empowerment transactions. He
also served as head of investment banking at BoE Merchant Bank and
as head of equities research at BoE Securities where he was twice
rated South Africa's top gold analyst. Gerard Kemp spent 22 years
in Anglo American's Gold Division, as a surveyor and as a mineral
economist.
After these changes, the board comprises five directors, four of
whom are non-executive and two of whom are considered to be
independent. The board will continue to review the board
composition in light of the development of the Group.
Werner Klingenberg, CEO of Goldplat commented: "Firstly, I would
like to extend my sincere thanks to Matthew, for his many years of
support, tireless efforts and leadership provided to the board of
directors and Goldplat, specifically during a period of strategic
change. I wish him the best in all his future endeavours.
I am also delighted to have Gerard Kisbey Green appointed as
Chairman as I believe he is well placed, having been a director of
Goldplat for more than 7 years, in executive and non-executive
roll, to guide the board on our current trajectory. He has
significant industry and corporate experience and is well suited to
guide the board of directors.
Furthermore, I believe Gerard Kemp will be an extremely valuable
addition to the board. He is still active in industry in an
advisory role, and will bring to Goldplat his wealth of experience
in both investment banking, dealmaking and as an operator in mining
businesses."
Gerard Hendrik Kemp, aged 68, currently holds, or has held, the
following directorships or partnerships in the last five years:
